Amtrak Autotrain (motorcycles OK)

Certainly would’ve been more fun than both the train ride out and the visit.
The Auto Train has always piqued my interest. Every now and then I’ve considered doing it as a holiday trip, but the thought of riding a motorcycle in Florida typically leads me to reminisce the great quote from Eagles/49ers running back Ricky Watters—“For who? For what?”
Gliderjohn:
If could do that on a cross country train or at least western routes with something like a two week or month pass where you and your bike can get off and on exploring different places for a couple plus days at each stop. I agree with Dirk_S. An unbroken ride of more than about 10 or 12 hours becomes a matter of determined endurance and then torture after that. Rode Amtrack from LA to Portland (33 hours). Didn't take enough whisky!

I wish this were available on other routes. The California Zephyr would be the jackpot for me as I take it a few times a year between Denver and Chicago.

I guess my question is why Orlando?
That sounds like a fairly cheap way to get her but what are you going to do when you get here? I get the weather angle as it's been in the 80's all week. Or playing tourist. Going to Daytona Bike Week? The riding? My take on that is the good is you can ride year-around but the bad is the roads really aren't fun to ride. Most of our hills and curves are out on the Interstate.
Tom:
Most of the load to Orlando would be cars w/tourists. :boozing:
