Daytona BW Less than 1 month to

[Bob Penn]

Just wandering who all is going and where they are coming from?
Maybe we can even get some to join up or meet for the ride from their origins.

A question for the locals are helmets required in FL. ?
Any suggestions for dinner, a meet, or a good place to stay or avoid!

Just keep checking back here, Steve0080 usually puts something together for us. You can legally ride in the state of Florida without a helmet.

No helmets required !!! The Fla riders try to meet for either breakfast and or dinner on the last Friday of the event.... I need to check my calendar
for sure before I can post a date and time... I am being forced to go on a cruise again the same week as bike week !!!

[choptop]

Would love to go, it's been a good 30 years since I was their and that was an epic trip w/my brother that neither one of us will ever forget. But even w/ being retired now, I have to choose my big Rides. Took a group ride last year to Yellowstone w/the club I ride with, loved it, they are going to Pennsylvania and ride some mountains out their and I just ordered my ticket for the Kid Rock concert in Sturgis and I have my room for the Annual Rally ...

1/ Maybe you should sit her down in front of the TV tonight to watch the news on the returning cruise ship arriving back in NJ today.
2/ Explain to her that medicare does not pay for Sea sick pills. And being the gentleman that you are you wouldn't want to throw up on her beautiful gown.
3/ Maybe she has a deserving sister who would love to go and your willing to pay her fare but three in a room would be uncomfortable for you. Be a hero and volunteer to give up your berth,

OK, I'm not sure if I'm helping here or just stirring the pot

[Steve 0080]

Thanks Bob... but it makes her happy... we do try to make each other happy...long rides on a motorcycle is something she can not do...she waves as I leave and I go on cruises...simple !

As far as Daytona... I am available on March 12.... I will be gone and no WiFi so if anyone wants to meet at B.J.'s at lets say 1830... just because I
am out of pocket does not mean you fine folks cannot set up a RTE at Daytona and have fun as well.....post some thoughts and I will try to attend...
I may be there on the 4th as well !!!

[Pap]

The better half and I will be going down March 4th and staying with my niece in southern Jacksonville until the 11th or 12th.
Hopefully we can hook up with a few members here for some good food, better company and,,,,Ice cream !!:banana:

[53driver]

I'll be there solo - arriving on the 6th, departing on the 13th.
Staying in Ormond Beach.

[Steve 0080]

Was in Daytona today for a ride and lunch...... Speed week is upon us... busy,busy,busy !!!!!!!!! Going to be crazy this year... great weather and clear roads up north should bring a lot of folks down !!!

The last cruise that we went on; the cruise ship caught on fire as we were coming into port in Jamaica. :shock: Here's the video with me and the wife in it:

And the buffet line never slowed.....

[53driver]

I've just been informed my accommodations are now expiring the morning of the 12th (Saturday). There is an extended family event Saturday evening that I do not want to miss. Anyone in a 100 mile radius got a spare bed / couch Saturday night?
Much obliged!

[Steve 0080]

Sorry, Steve, you could stay with me but I have family in from Germany for the bike fest....

Just re read your post... the bed is taken, I do have a daybed/couch .... you are welcome to !!!

[stevenolts]

I can't make Daytona because I am going to Thunder-beach in Panama City Beach a few weeks later.

What is the name of the F6B meet up? I would like to get hotel reservations if they are still available.

On the way home to discuss a job. I have lousy timing.

[53driver]

Met up with Pap and his lovely bride tonight at the Pirana Grille.
His Harley touring trunk looks awesome!
They bought me a Stella.
I thought that very nice of them!

Who is planning on Saturday at BJs?

Worked all week , will definate be at BJs for dinner. Thinking about going up earlier Saturday and see what's going on. Anything going on during the day with the F6B group? I'll see if Dickiedeals can venture out earlier as well.

[Pap]

Well, (sigh), the girl is snuggled up in the trailer awaiting the trip home Sunday AM. We are taking my niece tomorrow to Blue Springs with hopes to show her some manatees. With any luck, we might be back next year for bike week. Ride safe. If anyone gets close to Western Pennsylvania, give me a shout.

[Steve 0080]

Had a great dinner again! Dickie, Papa Tater and his Mrs., Fla Mike and his bride along with Steve 53 Driver, Randy my BinL... had a great time...
now next Sunday for the RTE in Crystal River !!!
