I left for Daytona Tuesday morning at 5:30 am and got to Daytona at 3:20 pm. That was a little over 600 miles and was a pretty easy run after some of the runs I have been on this year.
The weather was great coming out, no rain and just cold enough to wear my gear. The Spyder ran great on the way out and and there were no issues. I guess I got a good one seeing after 42,000 miles I can't say my Spyder has given me any real problems and I hope it has a few more good miles left in her. I really enjoy riding this thing.
When I got there the first thing I did was stop by the No Magic trailer to see how it was going. They just got setup and wasn't really doing much. The rally doesn't officially start till Thursday.
Wednesday I hung out with the crew for a while and then headed to the race track to see what was going on. It was pretty much a ghost town. I headed back to NM and things had started to pick up a bit. There was one gal there with a Monster Spyder that was pretty cool and Jody's Spyder really looks killer too.
Just before quitting time the rain came. :shocked:

Same thing happened today so I guess that's just how it is. We got some pretty major thunder and lighting tonight. All in all the numbers are really down. Honda and HD didn't even show at the track and so far I think this is the lightest group I've ever seen in Daytona. I long for the good old days. nojoke I will say the Spyder tent was doing pretty good today.
