We arrived before the crowds.
It seems they had stock cars parked in some odd places.
Eventually the bikers arrived, there was not good place to get a picture of the bikers, thrust me there were many.
There was every type of 2 or 3 wheeler machines you could think of, including the Boss Hog V8's.
We even found a Roadtrek display. Frankly is was not well staffed and not done very well.
We spent some time at the Harley Tent, looks like they even brought the Army Harley we saw in Sturgis.
I must say one of the most impressive displays was the Indian Tent.
I found one I liked.....
We had lunch at the track, smoked pork sammiches...they were excellent. We then headed back to camp for a siesta. We eventually decided to take one last ride, a nature loop we got from one of the brochures. It basically took us due west for about 50 miles then north to Palatka and then south back past the Bruce Rossmeyer's Harley Davidson to Daytona.
Between Palatka and Daytona, there are traffic jams caused by the congestion around the saloons and bars, like The Broken Spoke, The Iron Horse, etc..It was our last ride in Florida for this trip, about 150 miles. On this trip we rode about 375 miles in Georgia and loaded the bike in the trailer with 1041 miles on the trip meter. The riding in Florida is not as good as riding in the west or even the northeast, but it is riding in March and that makes it good.
Saturday we leave Florida and head for June's nephew in Raleigh, NC .
We finally made it to the racetrack and so did the other riders. No events we were interested in tho. You could buy just about anything you want for your motorcycle in one place. Not very scenic loops but you cannot beat the weather or the road conditions.
