    Anyone headed to Key West from the Naples area, Friday or Saturday during the races? I'm planning on going over but I've never taken the ride over. Looking for someone to follow out there. I know some people are heading over Thursday but that's a little early for me. If I cant find someone to tailgate I'm gonna take the Ferry over
    Thanks

    If you change your mind about going Thursday, the Canadian clan is headed down. Otherwise, see you down there. Think we can improvise a good scooter track?

    Not much to layout.
    Leave Marco, Turn left, about 90 miles you're there.
    The sea conditions can be nasty that time of year. Best to go real early.
    If the winds are strong and coming from anywhere out of the North, hug the coast to Marathon and then shoot over to KW.

    We have friends taking the ferry over Friday morning, returning Sunday morning. PM me if that's what you're doing. They are in Naples also.

    have your VHF and a handheld backup,

    all the normal safety stuff,

    program your GPS,

    Peter, this is one of my friends but not one of the scooter participants. That being said, I think its pretty safe to assume he's game.
