Son of a bitch, one week left!!! well, kinda. I know some are here already and I will be going up next week to check out the pre event activities.

I should have been down in the "sunshine state" by now ... it looks like I won't get to pull out of here until at least Wednesday or Thursday. I'll be lucky if I get there for the official start! I always enjoyed getting to town early and doing what I want before the crowds take over. Between yet another snow storm and trying to clear out property I'm really behind. Save me some good weather heh ...

Did I mention already that WINTER SUCKS

S.O.A.B!!!! Minus 20 F here for the last few days as a friggin high...not low..low tinite around -32 or so F... and more to come. highly unusual for the last of Feb and 1st of March...I should have booked to fly out Monday instead of Thursday..hopefully the chicken skin only last a few days once i get to Daytona...Global Warming?? funny..that is like saying our politicians are getting smarter...

Here is the 10 day forecast for Daytona Beach. It isn't the best looking forecast but better than what most are dealing with. Hopefully it will just keep getting better.

Thanks for the GREAT pics Bill.

Thanks Bill

We were once again plaque'ed by the bike week curse!!! Bill has had issues starting his bike first thing in the morning so we decided to ask Kevin from Stamford his thoughts. Kevin thought of the ignition module located in the distributor. Since it was raining Wednesday morning we decided to start looking around for the culprit. Sure enough after lifting the distributor cap Bill noticed the rotor was cracked and loose. He also noticed one spring was broken on the center weights. On Thursday we were able to locate a rebuild kit with a distributor cap and rotor. Friday we put it all together 11am we are ready to go ........ Strong start ......Stalls... And no go.... Won't start so back to the garage to see if spring broke again - nope all is good we finally found a loose ground near fuel pump and filled main tank. It is late afternoon we are hungry and not feeling real good that the problem has been solved. We started her up and VROOOOMMM strong as ever and off we go to a local restaurant. No issues so we think we are good to go.

Unfortunately we missed one of the best days of bike week the V8run and Bakers BBQ!!! We will not have any pictures or videos so we are hoping someone out there has a few and can share them. We hope all that attended had a great time !!!

Was wondering what happened to you guys! I took almost NO pics this year so I will not be able to help out BUT ... I know Barry took a few good ones that he should be able to share once he gets home.
