[QUOTE="kk3an, post: 1399949, member: 78947"] Tony!! Can't tell you how great it was seeing all three of you & talking....albeit briefly. The fact you personally cleaned my windshield and mirrors felt like I had a new bike afterwards. Thank you for doing all of that. Man...so sorry I couldn't make the Port St. Lucie turnpike plaza which made you ride the whole way up to Ft Drum! I had to actually stop at the Ft. Drum plaza to stay below the 350 mile IBA fuel limit. Otherwise I would have absolutely lengthened the leg out to fuel closer to you so that we could ride together longer before you had to go to work. And yes - I timed arrival into Key West in the early morning hours and it worked beautifully. There was virtually no traffic, but I still took my time and played it **very** cool south of Key Largo the rest of the way down. Edmonton and Nashville were the only real trouble spots to speak of (traffic wise). I did make a couple very silly mistakes - one was completely MISSING a planned fuel exit in Wisconsin - and turning around at the next exit 7 miles later to catch it. Another was taking the Atlanta bypass. Added time, but I didn't want to risk traffic closer to the city. Only one very minor speeding ticket in Beaver Creek, Yukon, of all places. And I do mean very minor. That was it the whole rest of the way down (I don't run a radar detector). Dan Simmonds [/QUOTE]
