Hi All
Sharlene and I just got back from Bike Week in Daytona...what an experience! Bikes and people everywhere! (Especially people...don't take your kids to this event )
I took a few pics and posted them to my shutterfly account. They are random and in no particular order. (all "G" rated!)

Hi Tony
The bikes ran great! (but what else to expect from Kawasaki ) I didn't actually track the mileage, our route took us from our place here in Ga. down to my brothers house in Jacksonville. We spent the night with him and the 3 of us rode down to Daytona (brother Jerry rides a Gold Wing). From Daytona we headed back up to Jacksonville then Sharlene and I wandered up the coast to Fernandina Beach then shot over to our place. We burned about 2.5 tanks of gas each so I would guess we rode a little more than 500 miles. Temps were in mid 70's each day! Pretty easy ride considering that we rode 500 miles per day last Summer for 18 days straight! (in rain and rain and rain )
How bout you guys...any warm weather in sight there soon?
Ken
P.S. We don't mind "running" our bikes...brother, these things will HAUL the mail!!!!
