Had a great time. Weather could not have been better a few showers just cooled it off. The people and services of Florida did a fantastic job of putting most stuff up and running in record time. Even came back on the coast road with two minor detours. People working there were glad to have the tourist dollars. The guy I rented a house from in Ormond was ecstatic that my son and I were planning to come down still. Best time I've had in years. We went on our KLRs in case the roads/gas situations were iffy but the Guzzi would have been fine. HDs had no problems either. Fewer vendors and people of course but main street and the venues were packed Friday and Saturday as always. Plenty of vacancies, was not worried in case the house wasn't available.
Enjoyed riding the new single cam Harley and new roadster sportster. Indian, Victory, Suzuki, and Yamaha were available for testing also [rode the new ones of those last spring]. So saw some fun bands, drank a couple of beers, saw some wild crazy stuff, and ate some good food. What's better? Secret of life: pony in a side car. Old dude, maybe my age!!!, with a well worn Electra Glide hauling a pony stopped traffic and all activity everywhere he went as women and grizzled bikers lined up to pet his pony.
