This year we were going to ride down, no trailers, no truck, just us and the bike. It has been a long cold winter even in Charlotte NC. Ten inches of snow and ice at one time is unheard of. Cabin fever hit hard and Daytona Bike week was fast approaching. Just the needed fix for those winter time blues!
Vicki and I decided we had to peel to Daytona for Bike Week. This year we were going to ride down, no trailers, no truck, just us and the bike. We left Charlotte Tuesday afternoon; it was a beautiful day to ride, sunny and 75! I twisted the throttle and the speedo read between 75 and 85. Vicki kept looking over my shoulder and every time the needle danced around 85, I got punched in the ribs. We didn’t stop until we were 3 miles north of the Florida state line. We finally pulled over in St. Mary’s, Georgia for the night.
