Attendance was a little light at breakfast today. J.T., Kent, Boyd and I were the only ones gathered in front of The Whistle Stop to enjoy the aroma of Jerry's baking bread. After breakfast at Snellgrove's, Kent headed off for other duties while J.T., Boyd and I prepared for the day's ride.
Our first destination today was Shoot Straight, Lakeland, where we perused their offerings with great care. If you ever make it over there, be sure to check out their Custom and Collectible cabinet. After wiping the drool off the display cases, we were back on the road.
The next destination was Champions Powersports in Eustis. Not only is it a fun place to visit, but it is also an excellent ride.
While at Champions, J.T. went to check on new tires for the Wing, Boyd checked out the new Ninja, and I checked out a new helmet. I love the quick connect chinstraps on my Nolan helmets, but they are very noisy. I guess I didn't notice the wind noise too much behind thew larger windscreen of the Wing with music playing in my ears, but now it has become very distracting. I soon concluded that the helmet for me was a Shoei Qwest Overt TC-3.
Sadly, the only one of this new model they had in stock was awaiting pickup by another customer. Mine should be here sometime next week. Thankfully, it was on sale. J.T and Boyd had less success as the tires were too dear and the salesman made the mistake of thinking that Boyd was not a serious customer.
By now it was nearing 1:00 P.M. and was time for lunch. We headed for Billy's Cafe in Tavares where the food is excellent and the prices moderate.
After lunch, we headed for home via CR-561 and Green Pond Road.
It was about 165 miles of decent roads and glorious Florida weather, Come join us next time. Meanwhile,
RIDE WITH PRIDE
