Harley-Davidson(R) Hospitality!



Well, time to hit the road first thing in the morning. This is the last leg of my southbound trip to Key West!!! I have a short window to service the bike, slap on new rubber and visit with my sponsor (Lake Weir Living) before getting myself back to Alaska. Now like I said, I have a short window, two days – get the bike ready and go…

Well, the guys at Harley-Davidson® of Ocala hooked-me-up right on the spot! Tom, David, and Dave got the ball rolling and had my tires ordered, delivered, and put on the bike along with an early 10,000-mile service – all within 48 hrs. (Isn’t that an NBC mystery series?) All that, plus a sweet test-ride on a badass V-Rod® made possible by Randy (HD’s Chrome Consultant). HD did it in 24 hrs! Now that's what I call customer service! It would’ve been quicker, but I put the guys on the spot with a special tire order. I highly recommend HD Ocala if you’re ever in the area.

While they worked on the bike, I kicked with friends and sponsors, Neil and Adriana.

We had some lunch at World-Famous Gator Joe’s on Lake Weir in Ocklawaha (Ackla-whatta?). This place is sweet right on the water, with great riding roads and right down the street from Lake Weir Living. The waitresses do a great job, and are freakin’ cute as hell.

Neil might talk me into buying a place here. After sippin’ some cold beers and eating Alligator (it really does taste like chicken), it was time to pick up the bike and another ride around the area.

This is a great place to have a biker town, and it's toy-friendly! It’s right on the Hwy40-42 Daytona Loop that goes through the Ocala National Forest. The trees here are covered with Spanish moss makes for a nice ride...

Well, my next post will be from the starting line. See y'all!
