You can save them to a CD and bring them with you. I'll miss you brother.

If you guys go to Daytona save plenty of time for each major riding area. I didn't get to spend much time there but it was fun. The weather should be great this weekend. It must have been a million bikes there (seemed like a lot anyway). I saw about 10 Nomads.

I will be leaving around 6:30 am tommorrow morning to go down there

Watch out on I-95. I bet the average speed was 90mph (that's counting motor homes, grandmothers, teens etc). I was trying to run the speed limit and about got ran over. A lot of the custom bikes were changing their tags to stay upright. The law was giving tickets if they had them mounted sideways like some do.

Went yesterday. Not too bad on a Wednesday, the Speedway was a nice place to look around and demo some bikes. Went downtown later in the day and said forget it, it was so packed with people we just left.

Finally saw the new Nomad. I didn't get to ride it but just looking it over I decided I won't be upgrading anytime soon.

The Concours caught my eye more than anything. That would be a nice bike to cruise back and fourth to work with.

If you want to demo anything you need to get there very early and sign in. All the spots for Kawi were filled by 9:30 am.

Where was the Kawasaki area? :-/ I saw the Yamaha and the Honda. I missed it Monday didn't walk far enough or they didn't set it up yet.

Go past Honda and Yamaha and continue that diection. You'll see it. It's next to Suzuki

Looks like I'll probably be out of the Bike Week scene. Everyone is either sick or recovering now. So, since I'm the only one left standing, I'll be nursing them back to health unless I get hit with it too!
