Nice Bike. Yeah the Florida VICTORY Motorcycles Owners Group is the name of the FB group that organizes local rides. There is a Loop the Lake (okeechobee) and the Quest for Key West rides that are scheduled this year, but who knows the way things are going. It has been irritating my teets that I can't even get down to the keys because you need a permit to go down Card Sound or 1 to get into the Keys. I usually take a run down to Isla Morada early mornings on the weekend.

Anyway it is a good group of people. Hit me up if you cross the border into Mijami area......

I was actually looking to purchase a lot of land off card sound as a retreat from the craziness up by me.

I'm super new to this forum layout so, if you want to PM me your contact info, maybe we can link up. I've been riding out off 41 west of Homestead lately.

Okay @slickvic you are learning slowly, but there is hope. I see your red X on my black only being alleged as the fastest. Well you know what I am going to do and dump some facts on ya. Yes red is the fastest...

Because the colors of light travel at different speeds, they get bent by different amounts and come out all spread out instead of mixed up. Violet travels the slowest so it is on the bottom and red travels the fastest so is on the top.

So all my cars are, wait for it, Red...

Oops..... my thumb must have hit that when I dozed off. Apologies my winged friend. I removed the dreaded (fast) X.

Nice bike man! And it must nice to be able to legally ride. Here in Michigan, I heard you could get a thousand dollar fine.

That stinks!!!
I've not had any issues thus far, considering I'm an 'essential' worker I would have expected to at least get stopped and questioned but nothing thank goodness.

My brother in law had had enough when he went on a rant Monday about what was going to happen on Wed. He went by the way. Both him and my sister retired from Dow Chemical in Midland, MI last year. Sold there home and weekend cabin in Iosco County and bought a large lakefront home on Secord Lake in Gladwin, MI not far from IM12STPN, maybe 20 miles. They are in middle of painting some rooms and other improvments and was wanting to launch his pontoon. Then the draconian Bill of Rights violation by the Gretch who stole Michigan came down. His county sheriff said they would not inforce the new measures. I notice several other Sheriffs also have made similar statements.

I have been riding every nice day I can. 3 straight 70 plus days last week, then rain, then winter again. Looks like improvement come Sunday. I feel bad for the more Northern folks who have got hammered, that just is not right. I know the man would like us to stay home, but by God we have the right to go out. Just social distance, wear mask if you must, and use good judgement. I see lots of folks out walking and staying far apart and lawn maintenance, watching their kids on the nice days and the vast majority are doing things right. Besides it is more healthy to be outside and fill your lungs with clean air, and it certainly improves one's disposition.

The Gov here reluctantly called for a lock down when the state was invaded by spring breakers and snow birds fleeing NY. Put traffic check points to stop those New Yorkers and have the Po-Po personally tell them to quarantine as they escaped New York.

Other than that, I too have enjoyed the riding as many others with the reduced traffic. Feel he will be lifting soon and never resorted to locking anyone down save one.

A jackass that flew here on Jet Blue knowing he was infected and thus pissing the Governor off didn’t help...

***** got a lifetime ban from Jet Blue. However The Gov has tried to be reasonable and none of the silly crap we see in some states.

I saw Desantis interviewed earlier in the week. I think it was Sunday night on Life, Liberty, and Levin. Seemed like a very reasonable sort to me. Stay safe down there.
