Bike Week 2011 - Day Two

Left Valdosta at 11am heading south to Daytona Beach via Jacksonville.  As you might think, yest the gas station was our first stop.  Entered Florida about 10 minutes into our drive.  At the boarder they planted palm trees to give that Florida feel.  We then stopped at the visitors center and got some free orange juice.  Very good.  Funny thing, its the same juice we buy everyday at Kroger's.

Stopped just west of Jacksonville for you guessed it, gas.  3.50 a gallon.

Finally got to Daytona and there are not as many bikes as Biketoberfest.  Could be because its so flippin cold.  After we got the bike, trailer and hummer all parked we headed out for a ride.

First trip was to Ponce Inlet.  Nice drive past some very unique and eclectic homes.  Got to the end looked at a lighthouse and rode back.  We parked the bike and spent the rest of the evening on Main Street with thousands of bikes.  We spent most if it at Dirty Harry's where we witnessed two wet t-shirt contests.  Neither of them had contest who should have ever considered ever being in a wet anything contest.  Grandmothers are amazing  women but should not be in wet t-shirt contests.

The evening got VERY VERY cold so we headed back to the hotel around 11pm.  More tomorrow.
