My machine ready to leave the house.
Quick run down to ft. lauderdale
- Thread starter Ride_or_Fish
- Start date
It was a fast/fun ride down I-95. We stopped for petrol at the first Sunoco in Ft. Lauderdale.
The new and replacement condo construction is going full bore down there... too bad. The strip on A1A is starting to look like a mini Las Vegas.
Sorry I didn't get any good shots of the multitudinous peeps along the the beach, but the scenery was simply mahvelous.
... another...
The cruise ships were crowding the skyline too.
While we waited for a draw bridge ...
... John had a chat with the locals about busa thug life.
... another misc. shot of pretty stuff.
They were going to run for pinks when the light turned green but somebody backed down first ...
Here's one to ponder ...
That last one would probably make Brokeback Mountain seem tame. Whew.

I thought about you guys yesterday, I was wanting to ride today and thought of calling you but never did. I ended up riding by myself this morning. Twice in the first 40 miles I noticed some FHP, so I took it easy up to Brooksville. At Brooksville I met up with these guys so I tagged along for a little while.
3/4 ths a mile after I split with them I was pulled over by the FHP, good thing he didn't catch me 2 minutes earlier, I was doing over double the speed I was doing when he nabbed me.

Ouch, FHP had a nice speed trap on the interstate that we managed to squeek through without incident though we were well "in excess", but rolling with most traffic. They were trolling for high dollar speeders instead.

I had just turned onto a road with a 55 limit after doing over 150 with the geezers. I was doing 73 when he clocked me but he was very nice and let me off with a warning. He even invited me back to ride his roads some more. He said he used to race bikes. He appeared to know all about the Hayabusa and it's abilities.
I count today as another GOOD day.

Amazing, and very cool. We were stopped in Okeechobee County two weekends ago by an older gentleman sergeant and he let us go with a verbal warning. He said we were doing 75 in a 55 - I'm glad his speed guesstimator was WAY off...

I don't know how he determined my speed, but he was pretty close. When I saw him I looked down and was in that range. He probably saw me before I saw him. I was cresting a hill at the time. Yes a hill, come up sometime and I'll show you the roads.
