Looks like the weather gods may be smiling on you nice warm weather haters this weekend! "Fall like" (whatever that means) weather predicted for the Sunday RTE. 

Damn I miss summer already!

To the people that find Zephyrhills on the way to Uncle Mike's BBQ , I will make coffee and Sherry will have a morning type goodie for you if you want to make the cottage a p stop. Then we can roll in together, leaving the cottage at 12:30ish.

Been watching your posts and waiting for a chance to hit a sweet spot and meet up. Don't necessarily like interstate routs but running 17 up from Ft Myers looks like a nice straight shot. Weather has been a big factor as well as riding alone long runs. But my long range  forcast on phone says sunny and pleasant with 17% chance of rain. mid 80's. Wife does not ride and somewhat house ridden with shoulder problems and does not drive. I get a little guilt ridden when I run out on bike so stay close and short runs on weekends. Did run to Sebring Saturday and stretch my wheels a bit more. Would like to meet with everyone. Sounds like a fun group. I meet retired friends from work who vacation winters in Tampa area and meet them in Polmeto at the Crab shack on 19 So of Skyway So looks like I need to make this one hopefully.

Sure would like to see another 1800c for once

Eddie, I'm correcting your typo in the above post. ".......nice hotter than the surface of the sun weather haters......"  OK, now it reads correctly, you really need to watch your grammar.

Well I broke the idea to my wife and preped her for it. Weather and unseen circumstances I should make it. Yours the only one? Thought there were more. Love the bike. Much easier ride than my VTX.  Look forward to meeting the group.

There will be plenty of 1800's Jerry. Just mostly the kind with built in bags & fairing. 


The F6B folks are coming too!

[Bronxboy]

Hey Jerry if I make this one I will meet u guy's at that gas station south of Chancey Rd off 39. Might have a few others who knows.

[_Sheffjs_]

Sherry and I caged it down to Carol's Café for breakfast and passed the F6B destination, so the actual ride time from the cottage to the barbecue is 35 minutes.

Nick ride time from the cottage to the Shell station you're talking about 12 minutes.

Lastly, we suggest a slight deviation that would take us a little bit out in the sticks but avoid downtown plant city which is bumpy as heck and traffic light sitting versus going a couple miles out of our way

Hey Eddie,
I Plan On Going !
Where & What Time Do You Want To Meet Sunday Morning ?

[larue]

Anyone from the east side going to plant city meet? jeff parker, john, pete ???????

[billyboy]

Thinking about going Ill probably come up from the south from St Pete down the Skyway
and find my way up to plant city.   

[John Schmidt]

Possibly going but might drive if I do, need to try and find the source of an annoying loud metalic "snap" coming from somewhere in the lower left area of the bike when I hit a bump. Think I might pull the bags and all the associated rails and mounts, then ride it around to see if it goes away. Kind of a PITA to do that, it's not the left shock so still looking, been poking around that area for a few weeks now and found nothing. Makes me hesitate to ride very far, might have to pull the wheel and see if the bearing is going south on me. Shouldn't be, it's a double row and very few miles on it but....stuff happens.

[Grumpy]

Going to try to make it, just a short hop from here.

We are planning to be at Jerry & Sherrie's cottage between 11:30 & 12. They said they know a more scenic, less traffic route to the BBQ joint. I'm gonna say we need to leave about 10ish from Martel's if we want to make it. 

[Bert AKA,Valkaholic]

I  Will Be At Martel's By 9:45 am, See You Then !

Raining here @ 8:45am this morning. But yesterday started out just like today, and wound up being an awesome day....nice and cool.

I will keep an eye on the weather before calling it, a few hours can change completely down here.
