I had the day off today. Had to go to the Florida DMV to title/license the Griso. Got a haircut, took a walk, rode to Ormond Beach on th Griso.
Saturday Marc and Jennifer are coming over and we are going to ride up to Outback Crab Shack west of St. Augustine.
UPDATE:
Only Marc and I went on the ride today. It was a most excellent ride. Marc on his red Griso and me on my black Griso. We stopped off first at the massive motorcycle mecca known as Bruce Rossmyer's Harley Davidson. This is a huge complex of stores in Ormond Beach. We checked out JP Cycles, the Arlen Ness Triumph/Ducati dealership (cool bikes!) and finally the Harley dealer.
After leaving there we meandered our way up towards Palatka where we encountered some rain on the way. Not a lot, but enough to be a nuisance. We finally got to the Outback Crab Shack at about 1:30. I had a softshell crab sandwich and some hushpuppies...Marc got a softshell crab, some gator chunks and a pile o' crawfish. Food was excellent and mine tasted even better as Marc paid for my lunch since I had done some work on his Griso. Thanks Marc!
When we came out of the restaurant a group of people were gathered around the Grisos and started asking us questions about them and such. Funny how these bikes draw such attention!
So off we went back towards home but we got detoured as a bridge was out. We had to go out of our way back through Daytona so when we got there we spied a big motorcycle dealership and decided to stop in for a peek. Nice place...lotsa parts and a good # of bikes.
After a few minutes there we headed back to the bikes and guess what? Yup, 6 guys gathered around the Grisos! They asked us a bunch of questions, etc. Man, this is weird. Never had a bike that garnered so much attention!
'Twas a fun day...over 200 miles I guess total. Can't wait to hit the road again!
