Ride safe... north side of the lake around is pretty nice, no traffic...

[Oldroller]

I'm already in on a north ride tomorrow with some Tampa sport bike riders. You guys have a nice ride anyway. The weather is going to be perfect!

[Ride_or_Fish]

Yup!

I just got back last night from riding up and down 192(nothing like 24 hour rush hour traffic to make you want to die) for the last week while I was down there. Now the temp goes back up! There was a lot of busas at oldtown last Sunday. Anybody from here there?

[Ride_or_Fish]

Jinks, see you then.

[JINKSTER]

okay folks...i'm/we're headed out...i'll try an bring back some pix...if i can blow the rust off....it's been awhile...L8R, Bill.

[JINKSTER]

Well folks?...just got home about an hour ago...72 degrees...just enough white cloud cover to highlight the blue skys...180 miles...30 miles of it before brunch and then 100 of it in one sitting,,refueled and headed for home...

NO PIX BUT TRIP HIGHLIGHTS WERE....

1. Lotsa buzzards...due to lotsa road kill...namely?....hawgs.

2. Hit well into the mid triples a couple times...when and where appropriate...

3. I came sling-shoting out of a 45mpg sweeping ess (right behind ROF) at a pretty impressive lean angle (one-handed) as i waived to an on-coming Dude on an HD Full-Dresser...and just as i began to wonder why this dilweed wasn't waiving back?...and sorta actually felt like i was getting a bit of stink-eye action from him?...i realized...his plastics and 3/4 mic'ed helmet were white and his clothes were a blue'ush green (damn polarized sunglasses under my lid throwing the color off)...but his badge was definantly gold...wearing a gunbelt and knee-hi leather nazi stormtrooper boots...and instantaneously realized and understood why he wasn't waiving back...i then kept a close eye on my rearviews for a few miles..then i also understood why he wasn't attempting to make a u-turn...dash back through the esses we just rocketed through to try an catch up to two of the worlds fastest production bikes on his fulldress HD just to say hello.

4. It's been a while since i took a good sunday morning ride...it felt great blow'in the dust of the old skills in a few sweepers.

5. Today i also re-realized why i don't need to rush into upgrading to an '08!

L8R, Bill.

Yeah buddy, that was a good trip. We made it back in one piece (each) with little more than bug pepperin'. I too wasn't sure about that LEO when exiting that long sweeping lefty

, but later on we sure got a strong look from the Okeechobee County deputy who had the 4X4 pulled over towing a trailer and swamp buggy. Good thing we dropped from 170 and idled by at 50 mph.

If it was any hotter today, I would have broken out the mesh attire.
