I just arrived in Daytona yesterday from Philadelphia. I rode my ST Limited west to the Blue Ridge Parkway, got off @ Fancy Gap, rode east to I-95 and south into Daytona. The last 250 miles was in steady rain. I make this same journey every year on my Harley Street Glide and I must say riding the ST was "hands down" a better ride. First, I would have never been able to ride all the way through the rain I was encountering if I was on the Harley. Hell, I didn't even have to slow down the speed while it was raining; I held steady @ 70 mph and felt very secure. I put 1250 miles on it this trip and just schedule an appointment for its 1st service at the local CanAm dealer down here. Great little toy these CanAms are!

Nice to see you had a good ride south. I am from Philly. Used to live not far from the old Frankford Arsenal. Have been thinking about doing a Cheesesteak Run up to there from Pensacola, FL.

Have a good time in FL. and Be Safe
