Over the last two days we have ridden north and then west as we leave the Florida peninsular and make our way toward New Orleans, along the Florida Pan Handle. Names like Tallahassee, and Pensacola came and went. Some of the riding was interesting but most of it through either timber country or commercial areas. The temp was around 85 deg f and humid. Good while riding but hot when stopped and in riding gear. The sea breeze when we got it was welcome. Many times we got a glimpse of the see and when crossing over the several bridges we got a good view of the many inland and coastal water areas. Being Saturday today, there were lots of pleasure boats out and even more activity around the shopping malls. The US dollar sure was made to travel around between shops, car yards and restaurants.
Gerald and I swapped bikes while waiting at the traffic lights. The Victory sure is a hell of a bike. big, red, lots of instruments, handles sharply and when traveling behind it the noise is loud. The aftermarket exhaust did its job, or rather didn't do its job. Sounds gutsy, I am sure the Australian registration authorities will be interested. The Harley feels small by comparison, but I am well used to it now, apart from the lack of suspension it has a willing motor, with plenty of power. Will try to get some photos of riders with bikes for the blog soon.
We cannot take photos of interesting things while riding, so I get what I can when we stop. Below who wouldn't want to live in a place called Niceville?
