I am in Daytona and the weather was great today. I was riding all day from about 10AM till 5PM and it was sunny and warm about 75-80 and not a drop of rain till evening.
Did about 150 miles on some back roads and visited with some Guzzi friends in the afternoon and rode about 60 miles home.
Tomorrow will rain in the morning and clear by about 1PM.
The rest of the week should be sunny with daytime temps in the mid to low 60s and warm up by FRi-Sat in the 70s.

Now if this leg problem will just clear up by then ... That would be Burn-night at the Fairgrounds .

Antmanbee, I think what MM is asking for is for somebody that he can meet up with and do the Friday Burning Bike thing with. He asked multiple times who was living local in the Daytona area and now he knows you exist now.

Me, I always realize that weather is a local event and although the weatherman says it is raining in the area it does NOT mean drops falling where you are at the moment. Rain follows them dark clouds around, jest wetting the pavement under the clouds, mostly. It's funny that way, ya know.

But we can all agree it was raining there somewhere last evening and some of day today (and perhaps some of tomorrow -- decreasing odds and amounts are showing up now for tomorrow).

MM has a leg condition that can progress into Septis if it goes to the bad side. He is on drugs and leg creams and his nagging head cold is being contained by the drugs he is taking as well -- let him jump on a bike for 10 hours and let him run on down to Florida and guess what can happen there too.

Especially when he starts breathing them roiling clouds of oily smoke from the burning bike thing.

Huh

This was going to be our stormy day as the cold front moved-in. It rained about 10 minutes today and the same yesterday. Should touch the 40's or low 50's tonight, and chilly (FOR S. FLA.) the rest of the week. But NO SNOW!

I hope that infection is clearing up. No sleet or snow over here but I certainly underestimated how cold 47F is once you are moving at 70 mph. Thank goodness it has warmed up a bit and should not be any lower than 58F or so on the way home after work.

Right pretty leg there, MM -- and you got off fairly EASY on the whole thing too. Lost the toenail, though. Talk to your doc, those blisters could be a new pit forming in your leg if not taken care of properly. Does he have direct experience with this sort of stuff, or does he need to refer you to somebody else who does?

Now you know why we gots that Zero $$$ planning rule -- Always Plan for FREE, then spend real money on the frills and extras only once you are actually there.

It is 10:00 at night and it is still snowing in NC. This East Coast hugging storm complex is right amazing, really. And it is headed south, toward Florida too.

I'm sure it will pass before warm weather sets in for real , then there is that ride to Texas , Your Barcalounge will like that ride !

Mike, I think the Cody Wyoming trip is likely going to be plenty of super long trip for me for this year. I may talk up going on to Yellowstone while we are out there as it is very close by at that point. Ditto for Pike's Peak if the guys are willing. Yes it is further -- not as close by but if you are going to go bucket listing, you might as well kick over several buckets while you are all the way out there. The vacation based guys may not have the time to ramble about, but we do. Plus hurry is their middle name while the word ramble sounds better to me all the time. I could see a split off of the ramble guys from the main group when they have to beat it for home to get back to work.

Mike, we are not getting any younger. And you surely can see how a turn to the bad with the leg or back or whatever can put "finished" to all of it at any point in time. We need to do what we reasonably can do while our bodies are still willing.

I am still up for a quiet relatively slow go down the Natchez Trace to the gulf coast when the weather gets warmer and you figure out what your leg is really doing. Or a go up the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perhaps not this summer, maybe next summer .....

Wow MM, that really does not look very good. I agree with Oldfeller, you should be seeing a specialist. Please take care of yourself.

Oldfeller, I also agree that we are all getting older and that we need to enjoy doing the things we like while we still can. A leisurely ride down the Natchez Trace will pretty much put you into my neighborhood and from here it is just another leisurely ride to the hill country. You will so enjoy the hill country. Great roads, beautiful scenery and superb food.

So....now that this thread has morphed into an "old guy" thread...I have become aware that my "60's" is likely to become my years to enjoy myself.
Although I have been able to do some fun things - most of my younger years have been dominated by having a professional career, and time away has been limited (Some weeks I couldn't even squeeze in a single ride).

The next 10 years are going to be dedicated to taking more rides, more weekend trips, and more time away from the office.
