1.  Let’s insult the pavement together and head over to the left coast of Florida (Ft. Myers area), to the very cool Gulf Coast Motorcycles dealership.  https://www.gcmotorcycles.com

2.  The BMW Demo Truck will be there and granting demo rides to those of us who wish to experience the latest and greatest examples of German 2-wheeled engineering known to the Milky Way Galaxy.  For those of us who don’t care to demo ride, it’s a great opportunity to stretch, relax, and browse the dealership. Gulf Coast Motorcycles has coordinated a local Food Truck to be onsite, providing some delicious lunch options to those in attendance.
