Looks like there may be a gathering of Teneres in the near future! Hope I get the 'stones completely worn out by then so I can get the Scouts mounted.

I'm game for this Sunday. Short ride or never been to ONF.
400 mile day ok by me. I don't need a skid plate, do I?
Givi bars are on. ::001::

How about a ride north through ONF then. The central coastal folks could meet at the 7-Eleven on 580 across from Clearwater HS, say 8:00? Leave NLT 8:30? We could have successive meeting places along the way for others along the way, 7-Eleven just north of 54 on 41 in Land O'Lakes at 9:15. We can adjust plans depending on who/where wants to join.

I am on the last miles of my nearly smoothed over 'stones, so I won't be DS-ing on this trip.

Ummm.....
Clearwater High School is on Gulf to Bay RT 60, not 580 right?

Is there another Clearwater HS?
Another suggestion is Race track gas on gulf to bay or just meet at the courtney campbell causeway boat ramp.

Not sure which way to to get to the 54 & 41. Run 60 to 275 to 75 or run up Mcmullen booth to 54

doh!! Sorry Joe-JOE

Countryside HS is on the NW corner of 580 & Mcmullen Booth & the 7-Eleven is on the SW corner. Want to meet there & we can take the back roads to Land 0'Lakes to meet Twitch?

You'd be a welcome addition to the group but that'd be a fair trek from the Venice area to join up with us. Perhaps you could host a ride in your area to show us your favorite local roads?

I am attending some training in Naples in June. Can you recommend a good place to lodge for 3 or 4 nights? Naples can be a pricey place.

Made it home, safe & sound. Had a excellent ride! Was just shy of 300 miles. Big Thanks to Ken for leading & showing this newish Florida resident, that some pretty decent motorcycle riding does exist in Flatistan. ::001::
Very surprised that there are twisties & some hills, backroads of central middle Florida. Nice riding & meeting you other guys, Dave, Bill, & Sam! Looking forward to the next ride!

I only took 3 pics with my crappy camera.
Here's the evidence... >:D
