I am heading out Wednesday afternoon for daytona. Just thought I would poke my head in here and see if anyone else is going?

 
Stuff was already getting crazy this afternoon up in the Ormand Beach area (near exit 273 off of I-95). Lots of vendors, lots and lots and lots of AMERICAN V TWINS. They'll need to crank up the air conditioning. It seemed to raise the local ambient temperature from mid 80's to low 90's.

Meanwhile, I'm skidaddling north as fast as my wheels will carry me.

Its still fun...

 
ive been down by there past 2 days. I'll be taking a trip or ride down that way again on wed, just not sure of what time. Any idea when or where yyou are going to end up?

 
I will be htere. Riding my 2005 with a black pelican case mounted on the rear rack, Have PIAA Driving lights, and a coast guard sticker on the left fromt fork. Hope to see ya'll there. Ride safe.

 
I think me and my bro-in-law might go friday for a day trip from Tampa.
I'll be in the hospital in the morning getting charged up, but afterwards if your making the trip all the way from tampa, i will meet for a cold one. I'll PM you info let me know time and place..

We might be able to make an FJR meet

Great guy, But.............. :unsure: I'll be there on Friday afternoon. If there is going to be an FJR meet, Give me a call or text (561) 248 4343.

I would enjoy the hell out of meeting some of you guys.

look like we are doing it! SteveFJR is in but he has to work till late afternoon, ill let him chime in on it. So we are looking at 5-6 FJR's for a Friday meet.

Next question being that im a local, do you want to meet in Daytona or down by main ST @ the beach? If we do it on International Speedway, by WING house or even fregin target to meet up and maybe get a good pick of all the bikes together.

I'll give you a call thursday or PM or Email me [email protected]

RTSR1/FJR Posted Oct 14 2008, 08:45 PMWe'll be up there Sat afternoon sometime.
I'll be there Sat as well, just not sure of the time

Sounds good to me!! I know where all those places are. You name the place and time, I'll be there.

Friday is perfect. By the time I ride to my Bro-in-law's house and he suits up it will be perfect timing!

I will make it to main street if that is where you are going to be.

I'll get to sanford by 4. I will call you then and find out where you are.

If my Brother in law drags ass, I'll take off alone and have him meet up with us later.

I want to be in the picture that will be posted of the Florida contingent at Daytona on the Forum!!

 
Majic,
I've got it in the back of my head to make it down in Feb. for the 500 and bike week.

Will truck to DC then bike from there.

Post a ride plan during the winter if you are going.

Sullivan
Hey Sullivan,

Sounds like a Great Ride! Grab it from the back of you head and put it in the front!!

Bike Week in Daytona is like Disney World for Biikers. 9 days of pure Debauchery!! My kind of place.

We'll keep in touch, VIC.

Vic just hit me up while your in Sanford. Im about 20 mins away north. I've been to bike week so much, and after driving almost 4 days a week in daytona; bikeweek is a regular day with traffic.

I'm looking foward to the meeting other Fj'rs. I know i'll be done with my stuff early afternoon, so i'll just play it by ear till i hear from you guys. I went to the Yamaha tent yesterday and was totally disappointed, only 1 FJR and it was an 08. thats another post.

If we meet on international we can ride together to main street. I usually park in the lot behind DIRTY HARRIES its 5 bucks but worth it not to get idiots on main street hitting into your bike. there are a few places to meet right after you cross over I-95 from sanford. you can take you pick:

1-home depot/toys-r-us probably the best cause its big

2-raceway gas

3-winghouse(but is always packed)

4-race track entrance(although FHP probably wont let you park outside

5-airport

let me know, and anyone else that can make it after 4pm ppick a place thats best for you and let up know

Bob
