A few friends and I are riding up from W Palm Beach on Thursday AM. If anyone wants ride up with us, just let me know.  (Sorry, I can't offer anyone a place to stay, our hotel room is full.)      Sane riders only please, as we will be going only slightly over the speed limit. The Troopers are out in force during Bike Week, and last time I was there I got a speeding ticket.  :nono:      

NastyNate, I'll PM you with my Cell before we leave. We plan on going to the Demo Rides and Motocross race on Friday,  and the Superbike race on Saturday.  I'm hoping we have some time available to enjoy some of the local riding as well.

I feel for you guys up North. Although, it is supposed to be cold in Daytona when we are there.  50s during the nights and mid 60s during the days. buuuurrr.   :laugh:

I was suppose to go but couldn't take the time off work.  Damn month end close, I never get to take the first week off work and it always seems like the fun stuff happens then.

thats fine ill try to get off of work on friday and saturday night  i know ill have sunday off.

how many people are riding up with you guys and what hotel are you staying at??

Are you guys doing the demo rides at the track or out at the harley dealership.  I know they are having 40 minute rides out that way but you have to sign up in the morning. I was told they would take you out and around ormond and then hit the "loop" up. 

Unless you havnt  ridden mainstreet i wouldnt recomend it. last year it took us an hour of stop and go traffic to make it from the bridge to a1a.  If you guys want you can park in the yard or driveway. then walk half a block to mainstreet.

just let me know what the plans are so i can try to help out he best i can

Not to brag, but I'll be in Orlando for work starting Friday and will be going to the Daytona 200 on Saturday!
It will be my first Daytona 200 in person and I've been riding for 33 years.
I'm very excited.
I'll have fun for all of you.
:)
Yours,
Todd

Hey Nate,

Would you want me to import some Yuengling for you for real?
I'll bring it if you are serious.
IM me man.
I need to know by Thursday because I fly down on Friday. :)
Yours,
Todd
PS Would cans be OK because that would be easier? A 24 pack? Or even just a 12 pack? The lager or another version?
Let me know ASAP!

No you are thinking of their second brewery in tampa...  ITs the same reciepe but it tastes different from the one back home..  I think its the water and the salt air...  Most people cant tell the difference unless you were raised on the stuff.. :cheers:

And hell yea fly me a six pack if you can  no need to get you in trouble with airport security.. though...
