We got the SUV packed up with all our luggage, there are 6 of us riding in the car together. Myself and wife, my son and his wife and my you gest daughter and her boyfriend. Taking 3 motorcycles with us to ride around Florida but the big trip will be on the bikes down highway 1through the keys ending in Key West.

 We headed out about 1pm on Friday. As of this post we are still driving  we are presently about 110 miles from our rental house. 

 We had a slight setback in ohio about 3 hours down the road when my motorcycle tipped o er a bit. No damage thanks to the wheel chocks I insisted we all get and bolt to the trailer deck. 

 It seems that one strap on the rear of my bike was rubbing the tip of the exhaust and the metal eventually cut through it causing the problem. New strap in place, without the contact this time and we were on our way again.

I'll post more once we get to the house.

 Oh, almost forgot. An update on the trailer. This is the same trailer I was discussing in another thread about bearings.

 All tires have been replaced within the past 1.5 years. No dry rot. I repacked the hubs before the trip. Found a bad bearing and race. Replaced inner and outer bearings and races along with the seal.

 I have checked the hubs for heat using my hand, tires too. So far no issues. Yesterday it was 90° and the hubs were warm but you could keep your hand on them. Tires were warm but same thing.

 So far I've been impressed with this little home built trailer. It started life as a camper sometime back in the late 60's and now serves as a flatbed. The 2 3500# axles give it a decent capacity.

 Just thought I'd add that little side note about the trailer 

 

 

 More pics of the huge Harley dealer. Had to stop sending them. It was my turn to drive. Lol

 We had a great time! We just got home not long ago. Had just enough time to unload the bikes and all our stuff before the sun went down. Nice to be back home.

Looks like you had a great time.
