[ATTACH=CONFIG]530235[/ATTACH]I hear you brotha............... towed mine down to Brand x last weekend to fix some things and use it for the winter as well. I'm still on the fence about taking it myself.

I have been thinking about trailering down from lauderdale to key west or even Marathon. Buddy rented a house with a slip so we will see.

Anyone going to be down there the week after? Staying in Key Largo from the 13th to the 19th and rented a bike from Chester's in Lauderdale for that duration and plan on a rip down to KW for a day/night. Did the Worlds last year and decided to do something different this year. Going to the final Nascar race at Homestead on the 16th.

I dont think we will be at the bay till halloween weekend now, we missed this weekend due to crappy weather.

Can't wait on Key West, we tried to go the last 2 years but never worked out, this year looks like it is actually going to happen now although it almost didn't either after it had been planned for since i had to put in for vacation last January.

Not yet but it better be!!! Need some some distributor sensors and fix the grounding issue. I am in good hands !! I would imagine this week, parts are there.I plan on keeping it down in
FLA all winter. Would like to do some upgrades like, one piece windscreen new canvas and dash panels gauges.

Plan on towing down Thursday with a 36 spectre and the Cig . Wish I could leave and run down GF has a real job cant get off any sooner.

See you down there !!

bigboat28 10-05-2014 05:20 PM

No worries..Ill see you on Halloween then..I am going to try to get to PIB this Friday (depends on how I feel since Ill be flying home 30+ hours and getting in late Thursday night) definitely going to Casino on KI for the clambake on Saturday..Ted does a hell of a job! Halloween is a definite though unless the weather simply wont allow it safety wise..but it is planned as my last weekend before layup so lets hope mother nature cooperates! Either way we can BS about KW races and boats over some beers!

If you havent booked a room yet this place is hands down the best place to watch the race from..even if you cant get a room try to call and reserve a table on their boardwalk bar/restaurant..may not be possible since they go fast..just some advice..I was lucky enough to have friends that were staying at the resort that got me in during the races..sitting by the pool having a drink and some food between heats..I was living the High Life!

This thread has me jealous! I was going to try to make it this year, but a bunch of stuff got in the way. Next year!!

What do accommodations look like in Key West? Few hundred a night, or do prices shoot up even higher because of the traffic?

Waiting until 4 weeks prior to book, ups the ante to $350.00 a night but memory's are priceless. I am hopeful to retain 20% of my experience but who knows maybe less maybe more LOL
