Yes, north of Melbourne.
I'll be heading to St. Pete on Saturday (I'll visit a cousin), do the ride on Sunday and head back.

I got a couple people down to go.

BTW, keep the Dragons Tail trip in mind too! The more the merrier

I don't know of I'll be able to go. My exhaust gaskets are taking forever to get here. Plus I have to do some work on installing some signals

Let me know if you're able to make it.

Also, I was reading there will be a "Police Motorcycle Skills Championship" in Daytona from the 3rd to the 5th (http://daytonabeachpolicefoundation.org/skills_event.html) I don't think I'll be able to make it there even though it would be really nice to see that

Well it ended up being an approximate 465 miles weekend.
It was great, great ride and the amount donated was over $37,000. Lots of bikes.

I do not know the Tampa bay area at all, so I was relying on the GPS and they took turns to send us far away from our destination: first on Saturday an "old" tom tom (I got to use just on the bike) got us lost, I was able to use the phone to find our way back to my cousin's place.
Then today the phone (map quest app) was sending us back to Orlando when we were trying to get to the beginning of the ride - the "old" tom tom got some "respect" back as it got us to the meeting place with probably one minute to spare to start the ride.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow (I was not even able to get than many).

It started as a beautiful day and on the way back we got some rain mixed in with some bugs that left our gear and bikes smelling "fishy"
