Thank you to all the Florida members who showed up for part or all of today's meetup and ride, arranged by Steve aka Tourus. What better way for me to spend a weekend on my own in between work stops in Orlando and Tampa, than to meet some real fine VRCC folks from Florida and ride the back roads and catch some of the local hangouts...very cool  Your hospitality was very much appreciated by this BC'er...I'd love the chance to reciprocate, if any of you ever find yourselves up in my neck of the woods  Cheers, Mike (msb)  |

It was great to share wind with you. Great times! Thank you Steve for organizing this. Hmmm. I'll bet that part of Canada is beautiful. Tempting, very tempting  |

Mike, As everyone has said, you would fit right in with this group. It was a pleasure to meet you, and very disappointing that I was not able to share the rest of the day with you and the others. Glad everyone had a safe and fun ride.
Steve, it looks like you did a bang-up job with your organizing. A great turnout, with great weather to add to it.
Don

Ride safe, Bill Coy Bill....thx for helping me out with the starting glitch on the HD....would have been embarrassing to be left behind in the parking lot ...lol. Actually the Ultra was not too bad all day...been about 10 years since I last rented one in Vegas...would've been great to do yesterday on my Valk though.... |

Mike, glad I could help. The Valkyries are much smoother but the Harley rumble is very soothing, that is one of the great things about this Florida Group it doesn't matter what you ride everyone is welcomed. I'm sure your Valkyrie will forgive you when you get home. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy our Florida weather and our secret back roads, not everyone gets to ride them and even less know about them.
Bill

Now it's time for the traitors that didn't make it , being one of them work prevented the fun this time, and family in town, would love to have met you Mike, I'm glad my Valk family came through and shows you what's this group is all about. Great management there Steve a always.

Awesome Day! Thanks to Steve putting it all together. Mike is a cool guy. His bike looks like a trailer Queen but its anything but that. He rides all 4 seasons. What do you use to make it shine so sweet? He rode it 3200 miles one way to Inzane last year.  Keep on kicking that ball around. Steve even showed me a couple of new places Saturday. One bad thing happened Saturday. My girl sprung a leak. Hopefully it's just my shifter seal. Not sure because there was quite a bit of oil under the bike at 2 stops. I'll replace it this week. Hopefully that solves the problem. |
