    Ya, I haven't got that far yet, I actually thought I crashed the VR site on my last post, took forever to do anything and to get connected again.. Love, Scooter Bob

    It was laying on the beach waaayy away from the water. I don't know if it was dead or alive, or if I should kick it back into the water. A lady taking bird pics (she was from Watertown, WI, about half an hour south of us, she recognized my accent) thought it might be a jellyfish. So, what is it? Scooter Bob

    After a crappy night of pushing the tent off my face, I packed up and said my good bye's to my new ABATE friends in FL and to my fellow cheesehead Mad Dog. I left Florida, believe it or not, IN MY SNOWMOBILE SUIT. :confused24:I hadn't planned on putting that on for a day or two yet, but it was needed to stay warm and fight off the wind all day. It was in the lower 40's when I left. I followed the advice of my beer tender last night and took a two lane hiway 17 north out of Deland for about an hour, and headed east to find nothing but water in St Augustine. I finally found my sunshine again. While on the beach, I snagged some shells for my honey and family..(I miss you sooo muuuch.. From there, I jumped on the big road (I95) and headed north. Ended up in Walterboro, SC. I was just 10 miles shy of 2,000 miles (these are all venture odometer miles) when I set up camp last night, now at about 2,350 so far. Later, Scooter Bob

    I found this beautiful '65 panhead electraglide today outside a bike shop in DeLeon. It's the neatest bike I've seen down here... Damn, I've got a lot of accessories to buy for mine yet... Later, Scooter Bob

    AGAIN... It's not that bad, 2 and a half days if ya don't ride at night... Later, Scooter Bob PS. I read about your trailering loss, just throw a pillow over that battery and put a smile on your face.

    Headed north out of ....wherever I was, exit 301 off of I75... to Ocala, then took the two lane Hwy 40 across to Daytona and hit the Speedway to check out the vendors. I made it! Counting my bike in the lot there were a total of two, count 'em 2 ventures there. The other one was on display at the Yamy tent. They didn't even have one in the test ride fleet. Kawi had two of their new baggers in their test fleet, and 3 more in the display. What's that tell ya? Anyway, that was enough traffic and noise for me already, so I snagged T-shirts for the family, and headed to the ABATE campground about 20 miles out of the mess. Ended up camping next to another Cheesehead, that I know even, who trailered to a relative near Nashville, and rode the rest of the way. He was going to head back the way I came down to snag a few more states for his map before heading back to TN and WI. It got cloudy and cold in the afternoon, and the wind picked up big time, and never quit. I did set up my own tent and sleep in it too...if you can call it sleep when the tent keeps blowing down on your head. More to come, Scooter Bob

    Heading over your way is just not in the cards for this trip. I made it to Walterboro, SC tonight and am going to head NW on I26 tomorrow morning. Thanks for the offer though. Maybe next time. Later, Scooter Bob

    Any takers yet Jeff, My ass is killin' me after these close to 400 mile days. I should be back Sat or Sunday. Later, Scooter Bob
  9. Scooter Bob
    Can I cheat a little? There are a few other VR members down here, I may give them a call.. Probably gonna head to the Speedway too, supposed to be Yamaha factory display there... Later, Scooter Bob

    That's government planning fer ya.. First it delayed to tuesday night, then a couple days ago they moved it to Wednesday night(probably because of the storm last night), now it's out to Thursday night. Don't think I can wait around that long. Oh well, I tried. Later, Scooter Bob
  11. Scooter Bob
    I'll be that way today, If anything's going on, give me a call..920.,.210.,.4652.. Later, Scooter Bob

    Looks like that big storm:rain2: blew through here pretty quick early this morning. :sun1:Suns beating in my window already, life is sooo goood. I guess I better start packing. I'm only a couple hours from Daytona, so I'll head up there today, buy my T-shirts:mo money:, find a seashell for my sweet and loving and understanding girlfriend:173:, and get back out to Deland to the ABATE of FL campground for the night. Probably won't be able to get this puter hooked up tonight, so if you've got any crap to throw at me, or any more thumbs up, better get it done this morning. Later, Scooter Bob

    Who woulda thought fresh laid asphalt could smell sooo goood. Went by several repaving sights yesterday. Unfortunatly, they need to take a lesson from the WI road crews. I tried to get off the big road about 30 miles back cus they had rooms. They had laid new blacktop on the ramp, but left a straight up 2" wall all along my lane edge:shock3:. 70 MPH traffic all around, didn't see any break in that egde, so I just twisted the wick back up and kept going. In WI they would have smoothed that edge out somewhere along there to get a scoot up it safely. Later, Scooter Bob

    It is at N28 degrees 05.632' , W82 degrees 41.716' . Best I could figure, the address is 2801 East Lake Road. I did see a sign a few miles North that also called it Pasco County 611, but garmin doesn't show that, only East Lake Rd. Not sure what city that address is for, but it is roughly 7 to 10 miles south of Highway 54 that goes through Port Richey. That road changed names a few times as I rode south, so it might be best to use the coordinates and see what happens. Glad I could be of assistance, and thanks for giving me more of Florida to look at on this trip. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45537 Later, Scooter Bob

    GET IT MAN! I bought one a couple weeks ago (satelite radio that is, cheap one, not waterproof), and I am lovin it. All day long on this trip I've got oldies country or bluegrass blarin' away. I am lovin' it. When I get back home and my garage warms up, I think I'll mount and wire the reciever in the trunk or a saddlebag. I can stick to one station at least till I burn up the next tank of fuel. Later, Scooter Bob PS. Can you remove the Harley one from a docking station? My cheap one came with a docking station for a vehicle, and a bought another docking station for the house. I'll wire that one to feed to the home stereo and the one in the man cave. The supscription is for the receiver unit, not where it is located.

    Is this it? It sure does stand out above the palm trees and such. If it is, let me know. I've got the address and the GPS coordinates if you want them. On to Daytona, Scooter Bob

    :sun:It just keeps getting warmer, and warmer. :sun1:Around 70 degrees today near Tampa Bay. Everything's green down here. I put about 400 miles on today, 1,850 so far on the trip. Been seeing tons of bikes over here on the left coast, I can't imagine what it'll be like at Daytona. On second thought, yes I can, so I won't be there long. I've only seen 1 venture since I left Bogalusa though, a 2008 Black Cherry Raven with two folks on it. I don't think they saw me though. They were on hiway 98 near Crystal River heading North. I'm parked for the night at exit 301, off I75, about 40 miles north of Tampa Bay. THEY HAVE BEER HERE. Life is good. I talked to a biker from Tallahassee this morning, and he thinks I managed to find the only dry county in Florida last night, GO Figure. I think I found the Bell Tower that AimHigh was looking for, and it is a big one. Check out the pics here... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45628 in a little bit. I'll think of more after I drink a couple of these brewskis and unwind a bit, Scooter Bob

    Could have been worse, Could have been a VR M&E, right Renne. Should be ok, I can't find any beer here anyways... I gotta do it Boomer... Scooter Bob....Who thinks he should start asking if beer is available BEFORE he pays for a motel room from now on...
  21. Scooter Bob
    Hey, at least I ducked, hopefully he'll be seein' your venture in a month or so... Later, Scooter Bob
  22. Scooter Bob
    Sun is shining again, Life is Good Gonna head to to the Tampa area today to look for a Bell Tower for "AimHigh" from San Antonio. I love a challenge! I'll be in touch when I get settled in tonight, Scooter Bob
  23. Scooter Bob
    Can you give me any more clues? Size, Shape, church or by itself, etc.. I've located county road 611,and it's runs quite a long ways. I could use all the help I can get. I'll head that way, and should be in that area later this afternoon. Later, Scooter Bob
  24. Scooter Bob
    Let me try these pics again. I got some others to go on my trip thread.

    Man, I thought I was done with that stuff for a few days when I got out of Illinois. I can't believe it. Oh, never mind, it turned out to be white sand instead. Later, Scooter Bob:Venture:
