I haven't done a 500 mile lunch run in a while. I think I'm due, and I'll do my best to meet at the Hess @ 10:00 if the dew isn't too heavy in the morning. If there's traffic I'll see y'all at The Cove Pub


Hey Bob M, do you want to meet in Ft. Myers Sat. morning and make the ride up?

[_Sheffjs_]

Thats a wopping 12 miles for Greg and Sandy, I hope they can make it! Actually what bike should they ride is hard part.

Jaymi; I mostly go up McMullen Booth Rd to 580 and through Oldsmar or up to Keystone. Where
would be a good place to meet up with you? Up early as I leave my place about 7am and stop in Land-o-Lakes for a coffee and a snack, and then up to the Hess. Let me know want ya think.  

[Tundra]

Billyboy....I'm at work. We can all ride up together. I'll post a meet tonight. I'll have another rider with me as well.

[Bob M]

This will be my first ride on the darkside.  Wish me luck!

I really wanted to do this    But Jeff has been in CA all week, And he hasn't had a chance to do some carb work on the new valk (It has sat for a long time) and I broke the lawn mower,....... and he may just want to be home for a while. Maybe next time

ValkyChick, If you are located in North Clearwater, we will be taking the Bayside Bridge across Tampa Bay and can meet you somewhere on the North side, if that works better for you?

Jo K, No worries.

[Pappy!]

I may show up on the oilhead!

You guys enjoy! My wife an daughter made me promise not to go ... still waiting on rear caliper rebuild kit, parts should be here Mon.  Looks like you all will have a great weekend for catching some wind, glad to see a few more new folks joining in for the rides. I may sneak away for a quick local ride when they aren't looking. As I remember the lawn mower needs some gas.
Ride Safe

Where on SR580 are you meeting the other rider? I can be there at 8:00am as well.

[Tundra]

ValkyChick,
We will be taking the Bayside Bridge to Hwy 60/Gulf to Bay, then up Bayshore Blvd/Philippe Pkwy to 580. Cross the 580 bridge and I believe just as the bridge ends there will be a gas station on the right side.
If you can't make it, please call 7two7-5zero1-4zero99
See you there @ 8:00am

Greg and Sandy look forward to joining the group
on Saturday.

[BCoy]

Jack,
26 years with the ball n chain. Just kidding, marital bliss, we have been blessed with a good relationship and good kids.  We have been through a lot as a career military man traveling n all, glad my current gov't job doesn't require any traveling.
I look like the GRAPE APE or a Shriner at a parade when I ride my daughter's bike (Honda 750 Spirit, bobbed).  They laugh pretty hard when they see me riding it, needless to say I got a lot of crazy looks when I drove it home from Bradenton.
Glad you guys are able to get out as a group n catch some wind, take a lot of pics. Can't wait to see Larue's bike transformation in person. Looks great, Bert really went all out n did it right ... like Larue said he fixed it as if it was his bike. Great job Bert!!
Bill

[Bronxboy]

Have a safe ride, hope to hook up for the next one. I will be at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays on Ehren Cutoff. We have a skeet shoot for Ducks Unlimited at 2pm, or I would be with ya'll.

[Flask]

Looks good for Kristie and I.

Called Willy and Mo - sounds like we are meeting up with them in morning also.

Someone posted about Willy and Mo earlier - says he has been working crazy hours - is looking forward to get out and ride !!!!!

Plan on being at Hess on 50 just before 10:00 AM

See ya all tomorrow !!!!!

[FloridaValkRyder]

Have fun and be safe you guys. Will have to work tomorrow but will be thinking about y'all. Please take pics and wear Sherri's name tags!!

[_Sheffjs_]

Ruh roh....I didn't plan on name tags... 

[flsix]

BobM and I will see you guys at the Hess in Brooksville. If we miss y'all there we'll see you at The Cove.

[Tundra]

I just finished installing my Birthday bike-clock, ready to roll. Looks like PERFECT weather.
I should have done my pre-flight sooner. I found my mirror dangling from the handlebar. Must have been knocked loose from the crap falling on it in the garage. Very much looking forward to seeing everyone. Ride safe, see ya soon
