Carried over from old forum...
Had a nice trip down to Daytona this year with my brother. Rode down and back from New Jersey (fortunately missing most of the crazy amounts of rain all over the East Coast on our ride back). Usually we have about 5 or 6 guys but this year it was just the two of us.. and probably the best year yet. We got to put on some pretty good mileage without having some of our buddies who think 50 miles a day is "hard ridin" to slow us down. Just thought I'd share some pics with those that might be interested...
Ahhhh the Florida sunshine. Fortunately for me it was a chillier bike week than usual. I enjoyed the cooler weather. Here I am in my Langlitz and my Wesco Jobmasters.
My brother in St. Augustine, Fla. He's sporting a Schott Easyrider in ballistic nylon (w/ armor).
Now where did I park my bike? I know it was around here somewhere.....
Havin' some Fat Boy fun on the Canopy Ride...
Trying to use the sheer coolness of my Langlitz to get the skimpily clad bartenders. Believe it or not that same night some lady commented on how much she liked my jacket... go figure!
A bike we appropriately dubbed, "The Moose Bike". And yes, it actually ran... how, I don't know.
Think there were enough bikes? And this was just one section of a Harley Dealership parking lot.
The trip home...here I am at a gas station at 3am in North Carolina. We had planned to stop overnight once or twice, but the impending thunderstorms meant we had to ride straight through to Jersey. I have a newfound respect for Touring bikes... I sure could have used one!! Perhaps a windshield will be my next purchase.
Overall it was a great trip. Really saw no cool leather jackets though.. seems like everyone had a $79 special. I even saw one vender with men's biker jackets for $11.99!! I couldn't help but think about all the old ads I've seen from the 40's and 50's where the big name bike jackets were around $11.99.
Any of you guys on here make it down?
