Bike week 2019.

[longfiredragon]

So, the bike run to Daytona went good. 7 of us, 8 including my nephews wife meet at cracker barrel, had breakfast in Titusville. Then headed to Daytona. Its 35 miles to Daytona, I think it took us maybe 20 min. Getting there early allowed us to park under the solar panels, the only place there is shade. Meet with Nick at the Kawasaki tent. Kawasaki had a great showing, they had the biggest tent and the most bikes. They also had good stunt show, a young lady and another guy both on Kawasakis. Unfortunately my phone sucks and I got no pictures. So then we had lunch at hooters, went to cycle gear and got some new gloves. Took the long way home, stopped for some ice coffee and headed home. There were some nice bikes but didn't get many pictures. Next I will make it a point to get more pictures. All of hanging in the shade bike a people watching. And a pic at the light to get back on I95.

Looks a good time. Would have like to seen that stunt girl from Italy do her thing

Just that nice warm looking weather brings a smile to my face ....... the Walter Wolfe RD/RZ is a nice blast from the past

As to the lady stunt rider, I'll take your word that its not just a long haired dude with all that gear on BUT at least she is appropriately attired for the task

One female stunt rider is interesting , how about a bunch of them ??? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2CdfqpAfpU

OK not stunt riders but bloody impressive riding

No highjack intended

No such thing as an average manc , we aspire to average !!

No the only Japanese in me, is in my garage , all Kawasaki's. I buy or have bought a lot of spares from Japan because they tend to have a better aftermarket for older bikes and using the right sites you can get new spares cheaper then in the UK even after import ( typically)

As for the vid, I came across some Japanese bike cop vids ages ago while searching for GPZ Turbo / GPZ's vids as you do when board at work . You have to admit they are serious riding skills

When I did the resto on the FZR 400RR SP I was able to buy quite a lot of NLA NOS from Yahoo Japan. As you say even with fees and tariffs it was cheaper than second hand shite from the U.K. always got stung for duty though. Must go out on that bike this summer.
