A beautiful spring day in Florida!!
#1



Man, if you live in Florida and we're not out riding today, you missed an amazing day. Not a cloud in the sky,
temps this am in the 60's at the beach and in the low 80's with low humidity this afternoon. Wow!!!
I rode from Treasure Island (Tampa Bay Area) over the Skyway bridge, down 301 to Sarasota, then 41 down to Venice then 776 down through Englewood to Boca Grande. 225 miles round trip...left at 8:30, got back at 6:00.
54 mpg...now 525 miles on her...I'm loving this bike!! Here's some shots...with commentary.

A shot of the gulf right down the street from my place...calm waters today.
After I left here...I stopped and talked with a guy cleaning his really clean 1974 Norton Commando 850.
He's going to sell it...$5000, because he can't kick it anymore. His 67 year old knees are giving out.
Wish I would have taken a pix...it was nice.

Stopped at the bridge to let a boat go by... "Hey, my place is a bit up the road on the right, you can leave it there." He didn't listen...

Old lighthouse in Boca Grande. It needs some work...

Where Boca Grande is... south of Tampa Bay, east, northeast of Ft. Myers.
