2 years ago this weekend is when I left for Fla.
Life has never been the same. Irony is , we have a scooter rally in NOLA this weekend.
Over 500 scooters from all over the country.
The 'Legend' is still running strong with over 15k miles on her.
Long live the 'Legend'.

Back Home
Well it's been a couple of months since my trip now and I'm back in New Orleans freezing by butt off wishing I was back on a beach...
But that's about the only thing worth going to Florida for.
It is good to be home in the insanity that is our normalcy though.
As far as summing up my journey I can only say that it was hours and hours of sheer boredom and monotony interrupted by moments of absolute terror.
There's not much to do at 40 mph with no radio, empty , lonely back roads, the occasional tractor trailer (who will attempt to run you off the road) and dead armadillos.
Even though my scooter ran flawlessly , I would never try a ride like this one on 49cc's.
Next time it will be a 150cc! There is a big difference from 40 to 55 mph.
Key West was a dream. It was a quiet Monday night so Duval st. was not jammed up with tourons (tourist morons).
Engaged in the 'sunset celebration' , checking out the street performers and artists. Just to see if they are up to the caliber of our Jackson Square denizens. There not........
More about this later.
The 'Legend' is still running beautifully and I'm back to blasting around the Bywater delivering food. 1150 miles on the odometer right now!

I Made It!!
The southernmost point in the continental United States!
A 1200 mile ride from New Orleans to Key West.
I am exhausted and will be posting much more in the next day or two here. Let me just say that the Overseas Highway is the most dangerous stretch of road I have ever been on in my life.
Lots to say but I need some rest. Here's another picture till then.

Key West Bound!
Finally heading on the last leg of my trip to Key West.
Its about 200 miles from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West and should take me about 5 hours, give or take. My scooter Legend will be hitting the 10k mile mark somewhere very close to mile marker zero. I am looking forward to this leg of the journey here on the anniversary of Katrina as this journey has been a part of my 'healing' process.
More to come as soon as I return to Lauderdale.

Thanks TnG!
My new TnG Badge
Thanks to the good people at CMSI
Planning a trip to Key West soon. Its a 400 mile round trip from Ft. Lauderdale.
Looking forward to the scenery of the overseas highway. Fla. is flat and boring.
Right now just driving all over the urban sprawl of South Fla. Uhg!
