    Josh you missed a great night after you left. girls were a plenty and they didn't seem to mind our dirty assed selves. on the way home i decided to have a shit ton of fun in a feild i found to be open....... it had a little more water in it than i expected though. the new gear setup went right through ti though no problem. my clothes are soaked though and the bike is covered in grass.

    Sunday for the Glades i'm in 100% i can'yt wait to do that weak ass ride again for some reason.

    Roll call fools!

    Yeah this sunday 8/24/08 we are doing and everglades ride. Probably hit up the squares, then Turner River road and Loop road.

    Eastcoast meeting up the Westcoast FL for a ride??? Thats a great idea. Looks like we have about 5-6 of us from SW Florida that is in for sundays ride. How many guys from the eastcoast want to join in?? Make sure you invite Manny Puig the shark/alligator guy from MTV's Jackass so we can watch him wrestle alligators again on Loop Road!!! LOL.....:lol3 :lol3 :lol3

    Hey fellows, :wave

    Me and my riding buddy Anthony are interested in joining the ride this Sunday.

    Where is everyone meeting? There is a great breakfast spot off Collier Blvd called SawGrass that I highly recommend, it is on the east side of Golden Gate City. I've got a suggestion for a road too; who's the "ride captain"?

    Yep, I live in Golden Gate Estates. We can meet at the BP station on the east side of Collier Blvd (951) just north of I-75 or where ever. There is a road that runs from Collier Blvd to Miller, you can then hook up to Stewart on to Jane's. I haven't been on it lately but my buddy Anthony rode his R1200GS on it a few weeks ago and said it was pretty wet; I'm sure it has surpassed wet right on to Eff'n DEEP....... :eek1 :lol3

    I am going to be out for the afternoon but you can call me on my cell @ 289 2009

    sweet you got it. a better way would probly be for you and Rodney to talk with each other and pick a spot that will be on the route we'll be taking. i have no idea about what is around the area and where a good place to meet would be. Adam you can call me at any time tonight as well. i'm heading out to bike night right now to meet up with a few people.

    Hey guys,

    I haven't heard from anyone so me and my buddy are going to meet at Sawgrass Grill for breakfast at 8AM tomorrow morning. Anyone wanting a good, reasonably priced breakfast is more then welcome to join us. We will be heading east from there when finished eating...... :dg

    If we aren't able to hook up with the main group please keep your eye open for a KTM 625 (me) and my buddy on his Yellow DRz.

    I'll have my phone 289~2009 but it will be turned off and in a double plastic bag so leave a message if you want.

    Oh, The Sawgrass is located here. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&q=Sawgrass+Grill+Naples,+FL&fb=1&cid=2960025620881005564&li=lmd&t=h&ll=26.187483,-81.687212&spn=0.05068,0.089865&z=14&iwloc=A

    DirtMerchant I just sent you a pm.

    Alex, I'll meet you guys at the mobil at the corner of vanderbelt and 951 around 8:30 liked we talked about on the phone. It will be on your right if your heading south on 951 in the sweetbay plaza. I'm gonna swing by on my way and see if I can pick up Dirtmerchant and his friend or at least touch base with them.

    My cell is 438-8267 for everyone, if nobody is abe to find each other in the morning we at least got some contact numbers.

    I look forward to meeting everyone and finally being able to ride with a few others for a change. Rididng alone sucks soooo bad.

    See everyone in the morning!

    anyone want to try to have breakfast with these guys? doesn't sound like a bad idea to eat a healthy meal before going out and beating ourselves up a little. if so maybe we'll meet you for breakfast but we'll be a little late. post up here if you wanna eat there so i'll know not to eat before we leave.
