Creggur, really sorry to hear that, as you said on many levels. :( I am disappointed that you will not be joining us, but totally understand.
I hope we will do another FLA ride in the near future and we get to meet you then.

So sorry to hear of the loss of you coworker creggur.

You will be missed on Saturday, heck you got the ball rolling here.

I'm looking forward to the next Florida riders get together and to meeting you.

Nothing quite like loosing folks close to us, especially with no warning :( sorry for the loss Creggur.

I was looking forward to meeting you all but work isn't letting it be this weekend and Mothers Day with out of town company complicates for sure. I will be looking for the next Florida ride! Be safe out there.

Great! Thanks Kenny! When we meet in the morning we can plan out the rout and if all are up for gravel roads, you can be our guide! ::008:: I am mostly a road guy but am up for some dirt if the group is all in. I looked at some other road loops as well and will bring a map.
See you all there! ::001::

Yeah, I too was constrained by operating parameters of my boss. Hope y'all had a good ride & eats at the Central FL ST Conference. Where is the evidence?

Well I can say sure I enjoyed the ride and meeting some of my fellow Tenere riders! ::012:: Just 4 S10's made it this time. A couple of BMW riders joined us for breakfast. Kenny, lead us on the cape tour where we stop at a manatee viewing station and darn if we didn't see some of the critters. Paul (Big Blue) gets the prize for coming from the farthest away, close to 200 miles to our breakfast meeting! ???
In the picture below (sorry - out of focus) Kenny is on the far left, then the two BMW riders, Then Jim, Paul, and the old fat guy with the thumbs up is yours truly. ::)



Here are the bikes at the manatee viewing station. Guess which one is "Big Blue". :D



Here is the view looking for manatees:



You can't see much in this picture but the disturbance in the water about in the center is actually 4 manatees.

Next we stopped along the causeway heading into Titusville from the cape for a Florida style photo op.



We stopped in at the Yamaha dealer in Titusville (Spaceport Cycles) and Paul asked them about a leak he was having in his clutch master cylinder. The nice folks there said no problem and took it right in and fixed it on the spot in about 10 minutes. No charge!
One more shot from the photo op:



It was great meeting you guys and riding with you!

Nice!
Looks a like you guys had a good day, I couldn't have picked a better day as far as the weather goes. ;)

Paul, I promise you won't be the only fastest (blue) Tenere at the next one - sorry I left you alone with the Raven crowd - I'll be at the next one come hell-or-high-water... :)

Glad you guys had a good gathering - hope everyone made it home safe and sound!

Maybe we could plan a Tenere contingent for the Polar Bear Adventure Rally next year. I have a friend who is a CADS member from that other forum - this year was the first - and he said it was a HUGE good time.

They were expecting decent participation, but they ended up with corporate sponsors and over 100 bikes for the weekend from what he says. Said he only saw one Tenere there, and if I'm not mistaken that one was from out-of-state.

Maybe we could get a Tenere contingent for the next one - I'll keep an eye on The Sandbox over there and let you guys know when the planning begins. The event will likely be in mid January and if they repeat the venue it will be in Keystone Heights Florida.

But a few more Blue S10's would have been appreciated.

I haven't been on the forum and missed the get together. I'd be interested in attending the next one if anywhere near Tampa. Is there another gathering on the radar?

If I am in town I will be there. Business keeps me on the road a bunch during the summer months.

Thought I would revive this thread for Florida riders.
I'm planning to meet a high school buddy for lunch in a few weeks.
He is in the Panhandle and I live in South Florida.
We have met in High Springs (half way point) for lunch in the past.
If there is an interest, I will post details in a separate thread on a RTE (most likely meeting on a Saturday) so others can join us.
Any interest? -JEP-

Might as well as post the details if you do not mind the potential of others actually showing up for lunch. :))

Where is a good place to eat in Hot Springs anyway? I am usually just in transit if I run through there.

Ha! At 38º right now High Springs isn't exactly warm either but compared to Arkansas it might be considered hot ::025::
