Oh yeah, but it's only 60 miles, I hope to make a 300 mile day of it though Wink
I've been to three Triumph dealers and have yet seen the elusive orange Tiger, hoping they have one to see!

Possibly leaving on the 29th but we can't decide if we should ride the bikes there or put them in the toy hauler.  Its 693 miles each way and only about 100 dollars difference in price over fuel saved by riding or money saved by staying in the rv over a hotel.

Nah - NEVER trailer your bike to trailer er, bike week!  There are good deals to be had on hotels if you stay up towards St. Augustine - you'll do much better.

We'll have a group running down from the Carolinas, as always - they are still formulating the plans.  We have a great backroads route mapped out from Charlotte!  I'll be too busy at work this year to make it, most likely.

Nice trailer, but it is still a trailer!  

Why would you go out and buy what many consider the ultimate sport-toruing bike and then trailer it?!?!?!?! Headscratch

I'm riding up, about 160 miles, the 29th and coming home the 1st. My work season starts March 3rd and I won't spend much time at home until late May.

Two weeks ago, Palm Beach Triumph had an orange Tiger sitting on the showroom floor. I like the orange better than blue.

As of this moment we are leaving Jackson, Ms on the 28th ride to Tallahassee and spend the night, then on to Lake Mary, Fl on the 29th where we will be staying.  Start heading back on Monday the 3rd most likely stopping in Tallahassee again for the night.  Anyone in these areas at these times going to and from,  possible we could ride together.

I will be trailering to trailer week. Leaving after work Feb 27 and straight to Savannah Ga (Roebling). Race on the 28th. Pick up the new wife at the airport in Jax on the 29th, as she has to work Friday. Then not sure when I'll be in Daytona, either Sat or Sun. Definitely by Sun though for tech. Racing at DIS Mon and Tues. The back home after my race is over Tues. I'll be sleeping in the back of the truck at Volusia Co. Fairgrounds.

You see - some folks actually go the Bike Week for what was intended - RACIN'.  That is almost the only thing there worth going for.

We're leaving the land of snow on the 28th and should arrive at the BMW campsite (Old Dixie Highway and I-95) on Friday the 29th. This year we'll be taking the toy hauler and making it a 2 week vacation. After Bike Week we're going to St. Augustine and Savannah where we'll do the tourist thing. Hey, anything to stay warm for 2 weeks......
If you're in the BMW site drop in, we'll be the ones with this:
