Dirty Gold Wing, Alaska License Plate!
Seen Gawking at the Speedway:
Dude and his lady, putting along International Speedway Boulevard, headed east on an older model Honda Gold Wing, seemed to be shocked at the sight to their right, one of the world's largest race tracks. They couldn't take their eyes off it, eventually swinging into the parking lot for a closer look. We wonder if they're from Anchorage, where ABM has an affiliate. Also wondered how long they've been crusing the south. Had to be one hell of a ride to Daytona. Much respect, and the best to you both.
Flea Market Finds: A huge mix of everyting from fresh farm veggies, citrus, fried chicken, hats, tees, arts, and crafts inside a very large facility. Located a mile or two from the speedway, west side of I-95, first left, on Tomoka Farms Road. If you have a lot of people begging you for free souveniers, this is a great place to get ya some $3 tees, $5 caps from past bike weeks, along with that tourist stuff. Need a few bags of oranges, grapefruits, etc to take home to the great white north? Prices here are pretty good, and you know the fruit's fresher than what's offered at a highway gas station. Bon Appitite!
Is a trend emerging? Yesterday was way warmer than expected, with a nice sunny afternoon break from the morning showers. That's the way it's been all winter in Florida; cool, sunny days, warm when it rains. We're still trying to figure out why so many bikers seem to be fleeing US1 north, and choosing to do their partying downtown. With all of the new biker-friendly activities, and free parking in Daytona, you'd have to admit to actually feeling "welcome" in the city that started it all. Is this a change for good, or a temporary respite until the condo developers return to break ground for another round of sunshine blocking concrete?
