WE WERE LOOKING FOR NIGHT-TONA AND FOUND DAYTONA!
THURSDAY! The weekend is finally here and it's Friday Eve! So here's the deal. We stayed in Titusville last night so that today we could visit the Kennedy Space Center and check up on the status of the Space Shuttle "O" rings (we're taxpayers you know!). Anyway, last night we were accidentally in a bar and met some folks that work at the Space Center. They told us that admission was $38 per person! Well, we figured that between the two of us that was almost $50 bucks - and we could better spend that somewhere else rather than looking at old Gemini capsules.
So where would we spend it? Daytona Beach, Baby! Oh you betcha! We rode north today to visit the Harley-Davidson dealer that sells more bikes than anyone else in the world. We pointed out to them that technically Harley sells the most bikes even if it is to dealers, but we get their point. Anyway, it was a pretty big store and they had pretty alot of bikes and they had pretty much every accessory and when we told them we were the Riding4Beer Magical Mystery Tour they gave us pretty much nothing! But it was fun to look at all the stuff that cost more than the $50 we saved by not going to the Space Center.
After lunch we continued north to Jacksonville where we're staying with our friends Rick & Becky. Actually, we don't know that much about them. We met them in a bar in New Orleans a few months before the tour began (and a few months before Budweiser foolishly signed on to sponsor us again!). We had a PI that our New Orleans Public Defender keeps on retainer check them out and it appears they're both just one strike short of permanent residency courtesy of the State Penal System. We figured that was a good enough recommendation for us so we're here for the long haul - don't tell 'em!...
These guys are astronauts and told us tickets cost $38! Stacy is thinking about getting her own bike!
Daytona Harley-Davidson - the Biggest in the world! Scott the sales mgr doesn't know our check will bounce!

Hey, we are only 2 hours away from Jacksonville. Come back and visit us. The pool is still warm - and bring back the fertilizer.

You're talking to astronauts? Look at yourselves, a couple of nuts, that is what you two are - a couple of nuts! We see you are having fun. Drink lots of cool Budweiser and remember this always our partners in crime, we cannot help but love you both.

Sounds like the tour is going great. Next time I am in Florida I am going to make sure I make time to get to this Harley store. The ones in Vegas I was in last January were fine but it was pretty much all the same stuff.
