Looks like we will be crossing paths on the way back John. Look for the green Durango with the black trailer and some type of BMW one banger in the back. I'll wave at the white 1500s I see.

Please expect extended delivery times. If you have a specific need, please let me know and I will attempt to accommodate you. I thank you all for your friendship, support and loyalty. |

Still trying to work out a "catch you on the road" in looking at all the posts, looks like, Sunday-Monday headed towards Panama City? Blue Highways or interstate? Gotta go do that CPR/First aid on Saturday, but when you have an idea of your route to PC, would like to know. Ben

It looks like I can make it, but Harleygirl is questionable. I don't think my 1500 will be ready by then, so I'll have to ride the 1200.

Gotta go do that CPR/First aid on Saturday, but when you have an idea of your route to PC, would like to know. The route most likely will be following 98 staying south of the slab. I want to follow the coast line as much as I can. AND, FOR ALL OF YOU NERVOUS NELLIES I AIM TO DO A FEW MILES BY MYSELF, BEFORE I LOAD UP MICHAEL AND GO DOUBLE. I AM ALL TOO AWARE OF THE TIME AWAY FROM THE SADDLE. I WILL BE ALLOWING LOTS OF COASTING ROOM, AND STAYING CLEAR OF THE SLABS AS MUCH AS I CAN AND AWAY FROM FREIGHTLINERS  Now, back to normal print. I will be using the SAT NAV Tracker so you all can see where I am, and each morning I will post an intended route that we probably will start out on. I have a few "must do stops" that are on the list. I will post those here in a few minutes. It is my itinerary, so you all can see where I intend to be on certain days, sorta ...... Houston is locked in stone, everything else is liquid gold sunshine to enjoy I will be calling my stop over friends the day before to let them know I am intending on trying to meet up with them. right now, once I leave the general Tampa area headed north, I will be meeting up with Jimsjinx and Xtracho at Hardies Restaurant 2633 Highway 231 Cottondale, FL 32431-7325 (850) 352-1097  Full-screen Before or after, I sample Ruth's cooking at Mark's place "Xtracho" not sure just now.  later in a few, got some packing to do.

Last minute change, just happened at 0245 hours this A.M. My step-son Michael can't fly down with me tomorrow, he will be delayed until next Wednesday and have to catch up with me at the next stop. so, it seems that the Good Lord, in his own inimitable way, has chosen to allow me to get a few miles on the bike solo whilst my skills return to normal. Amen!
