Saturdays Suck in Florida

dabull · 01-31-2009, 05:32 PM

NOT:)

Went for a ride today with 4 other fellas...we came togeher at Hooters for a day of riding the Florida & Alabama highways...

We started off on the flats of Florida...country riding...broken up barns, cows, horses, hay bails, and general varying versions of road-kill. Making honorable mention was after swaying around a racoon (?) piece of kill, it was noted by this group of riders that there were COCONUTS in the riding path too!! Don't let anyone tell you these were ghourds(?) or anything of the like....this is Florida and those were coconuts!!

Moved into Alabama and caught a twisty or two...crossed several bridges with varying amounts of water rolling underneath...roads were well kept (NOT, but made riding thru the national forrest nice .....wha??? Are we back i Florida already??

Went to B-Dubbs in Milton and had lunch...nice place...Stacy took good care of us...we got to share some tales of riding - adding new coconut story to our story-book, had some good grub, got to know each other better, got some good grub (was the food nautically challanged? Shipwrecker, meatbal SUB, etc??)

We were able to analyze and talk about each others bikes and what we all want to do to them...so many things in common Slide show below.....aloha!

Looks like you all had a good time. I just got back from running a couple of errands on the bike. I'm on call for work this weekend, so I can't get too far from home. What a shame, too...it's 75 degrees right now.

skeeter · 01-31-2009, 08:38 PM

Ya'll cross state lines like we cross county lines.LOL.
Glad you got out.
Couldn't enjoy the weather today but tomorrow is a new day. I think I'll cross a line. You've inspired me.

**coacha** · 02-01-2009, 10:48 PM

Wife and I went out today for a little jaunt. Florida weather definitely sucks for sure...lol.

waterman · 02-01-2009, 11:13 PM

Ya Ya. Gee, thanks for letting us know.

Glad you enjoyed the ride.

We missed ya in Waco Skeeter. Maybe next time.
Left the house at 8a with the themometer reading 36F Rode an hour to meet Bluetongue and Miss Marla and then another 2+ hours of riding to Hog Creek Icehouse in China Springs. Great turnout for the SCRC "Groundhog Day" event. (Happy birthday Steve). Solid represntation of TXVROCers as well. Good grubb and good company. Made it home around 830p having added 445 miles to Lucille's odometer. Sweeeeeet!

To all you in the Midwest that are getting slammed....there is hope. We in the NW got that weather a week before you.....now it is 52 degrees and some blue sky...we will send it to you when we are done with it!

Saturdays Suck in Florida...NOT:)

Wednesdays are pretty rough, too.

I did a 230 mile round trip to Naples on Wednesday.

My nose got sunburned.

Hey Dandolfn,

I noticed you have a Garmin nuvi gps? which model is that? What are you using to mount it?

thanks

dandolfn · 02-16-2009, 12:03 AM

It's a Nuvi 260W with a RAM mount specifically designed for that GPS.

I used it to find my friend's office in Naples and it worked perfectly.

In town, I could even hear it OK. At speed, I couldn't hear it too well, but I could see the arrows coming up for the turns.

I already had the GPS for my car when I bought the bike.

pagemastr · 02-19-2009, 08:46 PM

DaBull...you are just plain MEAN!

Cold, windy and I think the temperature dropped 5 degrees since I started typing. A new Nomad sitting 80 miles away still too cold to go pick it up.

Retirement soon... might join you

I am envious!

dabull · 02-19-2009, 10:06 PM

sorry Jack C...was off looking for Sunblock for dandolfn.....still down 5 or drop more?? :)

dandolfn · 02-20-2009, 07:30 AM

You ARE mean!

(But isn't it fun?!!)

LOL!

dandolfn · 02-20-2009, 07:31 AM

Let's pile on a little.

I bought my Nomad on January 10th. Have 1800 miles on it now.

:) :)
