Hehhehheh.  It's not someplace I'd want to go
back.  I thought it was just going to be music
and beer.  Oops!  :^)

It was fun.  I didn't see any trouble but the
night was young when I left -- had to work
in the morning.

I hope you've got a really comfy seat on that
bike.  That's a heck of a lot of riding.  The
round trip to Daytona Beach was ~400 miles
in one day and that was plenty for me.  In a
car or motor home I can do twice that without
getting too tired.

I've had some terrific experiences over the
years.  I've even thought about writing a book
some day.  Several folks from this newsgroup
would probably buy a copy.  :^)

I hope you do.  You get shot at this life.  It's
important to fulfill your dreams while you can.

My boys are grown, both college grads.  One
is an engineer.  The other is in business.
Both really think they've "been there."  I'm
twice their age and just beginning to learn
about the world.  As much as I've travelled
in the Americas, I've never been to Europe.
Soooo, next year my wife and I plan to go to
Paris, Rome and Venice.  Angela knows her
way around Europe like I do the USA.  We'll
have a lot of fun.  It's just another dream to
fulfill.  We may rent a bike to tour Italy --
dunno yet.

Next time perhaps.  In a couple of days
I'm heading to Orlando for EH Expo.  BTW,
if you're ever in O, check out Charley's Steak
House on International Drive a short ride
from the Orange County Convention Center.
Their steaks are among the best in the land.
I went there with "Uncle" Phil of CHA fame
a few years ago and it was out of this world.

If you ever make it down to Sarasota, ring
me up.  I know a few great rides around here.
