Hey, where in Florida are you riding?
The curve must have been on or off the interstate,,,
)) I'm jealous mine is in the garage for the winter.

People that say that have probably not been off the interstate while in Fl. Come ride with us sometime and we will promise to stay off the interstate. We like to hear FLSTOC attendees say "I never knew FL had roads like these".The curve must have been on or off the interstate,,,
I couldn't even get the bike out of the garage. The driveway is steep and slick ice coated. I need to put my F250 into 4wd to get it parked.
the only thing to do is look at maps and plan trips.
It looks like if I take the sidecar rig to the USCA National rally in CO. I can swing up to the NatSTOC Rally the following weekend in SD.
I had to ride the ST to the USCA Rally last year because the Old Wing crapped out, so I guess I'll end up at NatSTOC with the rig...seems fair doesn't it?

Well, Fort Pierce is good for hopping off to the Abacos but little else. If you are willing to ride a few hours hours north explore the triangle between Mt. Dora, Brooksville, and Gainesville. I'll meet you in halfway, say Clermont, if you want a guided ride one Saturday.

Wow! Two things I never thought I would read and they're both in the same sentence; "...I had to ride the ST..." and "the Wing crapped out." I do not comprehend either.

Are you doing Bernie's comfort food ride next Saturday?
Well, So happy I could add a rich new experience for you.Wow! Two things I never thought I would read and they're both in the same sentence; "...I had to ride the ST..." and "the Wing crapped out." I do not comprehend either.
"Had to ride the ST". Can you imagine my embarrassment showing up to the Sidecar rally without a sidecar? So "had to" was a very relative term. "Large Marge" is still my favorite girl.
The "Old Wing crapped out". I had the sidecar packed with all my camping gear to check out the alignment loaded. Took it for a a short ride when It died about five miles from home. It turned out to be the starter motor was locked up because of a sheared locating pin that holds the reduction housing, ring gear, and motor in alignment. A proper piece of nail fixed that. Now I just need to fix the leaky rear seal on the thing before riding season.

I don't know. I don't ride in the cold, the rain, or very far. It might be two former and definitely the latter.

Danny, keep the posts coming. I might end up in FL, late February or early April to do some riding. Though I will be renting a bike.
