CASHTON, WI United States | HI ALL!

ANYONE THAT HAS DONE THE DAYTONA TRIP HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ETC??
DRIVE TIME ..... PLACES/ROADS TO AVOID, MUST STOPS?
ANY COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED.
P.S. SELL ATV's, RANGERS, AND SELDS, NOT VICTORY
THANKS FOR THE HELP

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | I lived in Kissimmee for 5 years recently. This time of year - plan to ride in the morning/early afternoon. Things get hot, black, wet, and ugly after that - until maybe 8ish at night. OH YEAH - and watch out for gators and lightning.
Roads are FLAT. Roads are STRAIGHT. Curves DON'T EXIST. And 'scenic drives' are a joke - for someone from B.C.
Enjoy. I didn't.
WAIT ! The people are great ! Or at least - most of them.... |

New Bohemia, VA | my first long trip was 730 miles from home in Va to Orlando, great ride, and warm even in December. Traffic got a little heavy from 95 across 4 Orlando. Hope you enjoy the trip.
I lived a couple years in Elroy and worked at Sparta on Fort McCoy. I enjoyed the winter for two years. I think summer was on August 16th one year and July 27 the next year.

San Antonio, TX | hwy27guy,
How many days are you going to take to make the ride? You could ride the Dragon...if it is open...on the way down or back.

| This time of year I too would fly down in AC. Rent a car with AC. Then when I got home I would plan a trip in the northern part of the country or maybe to Sturgis or the AVR. |
