Hey Everyone,, Vern Here,,, I have been enjoying my new 09' Venture,,, Today I was up at 3:00am hit the road, Met my friend Rodney @ I-10 & Chaffee RD at 4:30AM we headed to the A1A and Atlantic Blvd. I usually won't go near Jax Beaches area on the weekend, Traffic is a Giant JAM, but I wanted ride to Daytona on A1A. It was great @ 5:30 am . we stopped watched the Sun Rise,, had B-Fast at the Beachcomber Restuarant ( St. Augustine Fl. ). Its about 3 miles south of hwy 312, turn left on "A" Street. Go to the Ocean, it doesn't look like much, but the food was great,, huge 10" pancakes. ( Assorted Flavors), its a small place. we ate out side, service was great. Bike is doing well, wish it had an electric windscreen, the dealer did not properly clean the front rotors, front brakes are squealing their A@# off, I've cleaned the pads and Sanded the Rotors, its alittle better, but not correct. Will replace Pads. Went to the J & P store on US 1, Looked at Farkles. I need alot more $$$$$$$$$ !! Anyway,, excellent bike, hope everyone had very good 4th OF July! I've enjoyed this site as well,, Seems like cool group of riders. Later Vern

this morning while watching tv, nothing but T-storms all day. wife wants to go for a ride, (she bugs me awhile) Okay where too? lets ride up the coast line to west palm beach, we take off around 10:30 , and head north to A1A, in deerfield Beach, Fl., pick up A1A, and take a slow ride north into west palm. stop for lunch, around1:30pm, hear some storms coming in, and decide to head south again. just into Bayton Beach, we hit our first major downpour. okay, suit up, continue the ride South., 20 minutes or so, we come out the other side. okay, this is good. ride the rest of the way, down A1A, then out to I-95, to I595 west. (Wrong answer) major lighting, hail, high winds, and a big white wall of rain in front of us. over the intercom, I hear Oh damn... What I ask?, look at the trees to the right...... S**t, looks like a mini twister, branches, flying everywhere. winds start pushing the bike over, I gun it, and peeled off the highway, as the heavy rains, start slapping at the wind sheild, and made it under a bridge, but had to move as the light turned green. now riding to the right of (whatever) that was, we continued south, into a waterfall, small hail, the road flooded fast, at one point, I thought we were driving a speed boat, the way the water was coming off the front wheel. not any part of our bodies were dry. water coming up over my feet, almost no vis., we turned o the west, hoping to get on the back side of it. after a good 15 minutes, we finally came out, into a slow rain. You know me, being the smart A**, I ask her. "Did the enjoy your ride today"?............ Silence, not a peep, the rest of the way home:cool10: The best part of my ride:cool10: chaulk this up as anyother normal day in Soggy South Florida
