whatever
times are tough maybe they are trying to make money handing out more tickets.
Yeah, we usually take the ride down US-1 - if this comes together you're more than welcome to ride down with us.Yea, I keep clear of Beach & Main during Bikeweeks or Biketoberfest. I usually hang around the Race Track area. Visit the different Manufactures Tents, check out some race practice and call it a day. Houligans near Rossmeyer's, is that US-1 & I-95?
Mike, if you've never been before WATCH OUT FOR SNEAKY COPS!!!!Yeah I mainly just want to check out the tents, like I did at Daytona. Mainly want to see if they have the new Kawasaki out and the new Gixxer on the floor.
I've seen cops in trucks towing a motorcycle trailer pulling bikes over before. It's insane. And also be careful riding there - the traffic is an absolute nightmare!
@A1A - will do...
Really? Wow... I usually only ride with a big group and I know a couple of cops on bikes were in our group too. 2 of them even lane spitted when we were at a light to get all the way over to the right hand turn lane when they were on the left. Heard that when Daytona bike week comes you can break the law for a whole week or so from a veteran.Mike, if you've never been before WATCH OUT FOR SNEAKY COPS!!!!

Yeah I know traffic is a nightmare, people who drive their cagers instead of bikes and also TONS of bikes and no where to really park.
I'll probably head out tomorrow afternoon.
The times they are a hard! Only Can-Am Spyder, Kawasaki and Yamaha are the only manufactures doing any Demo rides at Biketoberfest. I got to sit on the new Yamaha Super Tenere and I'm really impressed with this bike. I got to sit on the new Yamaha FZ8and to me it feels like the FZ6. I got to Demo ride the CanAm Spyder today and can honestly say that its not for me.
Man! That Yamaha Super Tenere is a sweet bike. I really like it a lot.

Nope, No Hondas!No Honda? Last time I saw a Honda, Kawi, Yammy tent but no Suzuki.
I just got back from a peaceful 400 miles round trip to Daytona. I stop at Wing House on Speedway for a quick bite to eat. It was very interesting to see all those bike out there. Some were nice, other were let say not for me. Sorry guys, a bike should have 2 wheels!
Two of them really stand out for me. First that 115 lbs chick who was riding a Busa wearing a tank top, a mini skirt, stripper boots and no helmet. The other one was even more funny. Here this African-American couple driving by on a ZX-10. Any of those two were exceeding the weight limit of the bike. Imagine two of them on that ride. Her booty was so huge the the tail end of the bike was stuff in her crack like a tong... with the brake light barely sticking out. You could have put a set of Givi sidebag on that bike and still wouldn't be wide enough for her. I wish my phone wasn't buried in my pocket so I can take a picture of it.
Other then that everything was fine. The windscreen did an excellent job. Especially early in the morning. It was somewhere in the low 60 's and my hand-guard extension did a great job. The difference is quite noticeable. (for as small as they are) I pass a R6 going 80 mph. The poor kid looked like he was looking for some wood on the side of the road to make a fire camp to warm up. He was probably going 60-65 and trying to hide behind is tiny windscreen.
I saw thousands of bikes today, but only one white FZ6R with girly stripe... where are all the other ones?
