DAYTONA BIKE WEEK ETC

I feel like I properly broke in my new Honda Gold Wing with a 2,600-mile ride down to Florida—and what a trip it turned out to be. My first stop was Daytona Bike Week, where I arrived on the final weekend. Big mistake. The crowds were so thick it was nearly impossible to get around. Lesson learned:...
