Fl busa ride

Is this ride still heading through the ONF?  Or did I miss a re-route amoungst the posts?
I am working up here in Ocala already and was just wondering where a good place to meet up with you guys might be? I have a hotel up here on SR200 & I75 if anyone is coming from the north to join.  There's room for a couple or more.  At worst we might have to spring for an extra "fold-away".
My wife will be with me this time....as she wants to break-in her new gear before our ride to the Keys next month.

Any thought's on where to meet, or has the route even been discussed thoroughly..?
contact Diesel or Kevin Kesler. They are planning the Parade route

I was just up there today trying to find some good routes, I went right up 200 and decided it gets an overwhelming "NO", stoplights every half mile, six lanes wide and oldsters with cataract glasses for as far as you can see. We will probably still do the ONF but the route will likely take us up west of Ocala, across north of Ocala, then back down through the forest. If you can meet at SR52, or the Hess at SR50, they are both less than an hour from you by interstate. The nearest we will ride to where you are staying will probably be Inverness which is at the SW end of 200, or you can head west to Dunnellon, of course the farther north you meet us, the less riding you get to do with us. As the time gets closer, we'll finalize the route some more.

Ok, here's the basic route: From the neon cowboy we'll hit our usual backroads to Brooksville then on to Inverness. Mostly twisties up that way. From there up 41 to Williston, then east on 318. Maybe we'll stop in Micanopy if everyone feels like it. From 318 we'll head south on 19 thru the ONF. At SR 50 in Groveland, my group can start heading back west towards home and Kev can head south back to Lakeland. That is a FULL DAY of riding! I'll be playing it by ear, though, so we can cut it a little shorter if need be.
 
I am definitely in for this ride. I just hope my boss doesn't screw with the schedule any more, hell he thought I had today off but of course I don't.

You could always not show up and then claim ignorance...

" Oh, I was s'posed to work Saturday? Last time I looked at the schedule I was Off.."

I wish.

I'm in the Air Force, so that is not exactly going to fly.

oh... well, no.... I guess that won't work then.

We'll just hope you really DO have the day off.

Hey Ocala guys, I was up there again today, it is 63 miles and takes about 50 minutes to get from SR200 in Ocala to SR52 (San Antonio exit) That would be the best place to meet, it you go to the hess at SR50, you'll miss some good riding.

OK...my departing location will depend entirely on if I can locate a trailer, to get my bike UP to Ocala when I return this Monday. If I cannot find a price that agrees with me, then I will be leaving from St. Pete the morning of the ride.


Anyone in Ocala, let me know, we can meet up and ride down. Or figure it out as it gets closer.. ERIC
Sounds great if I do wind up leaving from this area!
I currently reside at the wonderful Fairfield Inn.....right behind the Steak & Shake @ 200 & 75.

Anyone know of an enclosed trailer (6X10 MAX) for under $2K ?

Hook up with Sgt. Busa....he's leaving from St. Pete and riding up to meet me in New Port Richey.

BusaCruise

Like diesel said you can meet up with me. I live right by the dog track off of Gandy. Just give me a PM for contact info.
 
For any one in the St Pete area BusaCruise came up with a good meeting area. Barneys just off of Gandy. Then we head up north to meet with Diesel and the rest.
 
I'm meeting a few guys at my house and then some more at the 7-11 at hwy 54& gunn hwy at 7 am then on to meet Kevin at the neon cowboy at 7:30.
 
I plan on being at the neon cowboy by 7:30 as well. I'm about 15 minutes east of there from my place in Z-Hills. I'm really looking forward to the ride and meeting some of the other board members too.
