HD meet in Ocala, FL

[LadyHawk]

Met in Ocala Friday afternoon at a local hotel where everyone was staying. Gjoker, our son and myself rode up around 1pm. Took about 90 minutes to get there. A nice ride, as it was about 86 degrees, and not a lot of traffic.

They all got together for a short meeting and then the beer drinking started.
Here is the "Grand Poobah" with his newly aquired "Grand Poobah Hat":

About 230 miles that day.

Again, Oysters and beer and poker. Again, us 3 lost, although this time I hung in for a couple hours longer than the boys.

Sunday we were up and out by 11am. Got home in time for the Bucs kickoff at 1pm.
About 400 miles altogether.
Great times, and those Harley guys are pretty cool to hang out with.

Looks like a good time was had by all.

The weather was definitly perfect for riding~ Although it did get kinda chilly after the sun went down~ Was a really good ride for such a large group~ Good times, indeed...

What even was this?

It was a Florida meet of HDForums. There were a few guys from Atlanta there also.

I know it's Hardley bikes, but I was there representing... and had a good time

We hit one popular twisty road on the coast called Ozella trail. About 7 or 8 miles of curves and sweepers. It ends at a marina and then you go back. Me, my son and another youngster on an R6 waited about 20 mins to let the Harley's go, then we hauled butt after them. Got rid of some chicken strips. GJoker waited for us about half way through and actually led us out ... he still thinks he rides a sport bike.

That looks like a good time. I wish I would have known, I would have driven down from Jax.

They are talking of riding to the keys at the end of January. We've never been... we might need to make that one also.
