NORTH FL riders meet SOUTH FL riders in center of the state
I took a few pics during the ride I thought I'd share
I went the night before the ride and stayed at a friends house and rode up with the SOUTH FL group from Miami, Naples, Ft Meyers
Red Bull and I headed out from Tampa SATURDAY night to ride back up with the South group

A few pics around the meet area while waiting on folks to arrive there:

In the orange groves

Oranges about ready

Rural Floridians have their own version of fresh seafood

Ok random pics from everywhere







One sweet antique (that had NO PROBs carving curves)

I was told its politically incorrect to wear the HONDA jacket while riding the Yamaha

Rico, here's your helmet pic

Your bike still matches your lid












RC-51 on rails

Fuel Cafe towards the end (and they had the races on!)





Me and Rico

Every Yamaha rider needs a HONDA jacket. If I had all the go-fast stuff installed on the Honda, I'd have rode it.
This pic was not taken by me!

dunno but that bike screamed, and he carved turns with it faster than some of the intermediate sport bike riders!

neither of you know that that's a Z1? From the side covers and tailpiece it's a early one, and the '73 had the jugs painted black.

Dude some of us were youngins' back then, I remember the big wheels had a new design with a back brake and would loop you around real good.
Anyway, hope someone enjoyed the pics that's the reason I shot that antique bike and posted

Some of us are going to ride back down to Fuel Cafe to sip espresso, look at Ducati chit on the wall and watch real racing live if you care to join. (I posted in ZX14 forum where most FL peeps are): http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=47555&set_time=
