Traveling over 2 days?

Depends, usually it's two days to Daytona for Bike Week but I have the luxury of time these days. :) Busted my butt northbound to beat a snowstorm a few years ago and did the 986 miles in 19 hours.

I've got a week between Bike Week and Detailfest to wander. No hurry getting back since I don't have to go to work (ever! :D ) Hopefully I can stay off Interstates for a change.

i will be traveling 423 miles, stuart don't look far from here but distance wise guess it is as florida is such a long state. im like 3 hours from jacksonville. know i wont win but would just post to add my distance. wife is already told guess she is comming with me and going to stay both days as she agrees would make more sense just to pay for a room then drive back. luckily my celica gets great gas mileage and wont take but 30 gals of gas if that.luckily its easy for me as im close to 95 and its a straight shot pretty much. unless gps takes me I19 or something. but shortest time would be 95 all the way. and good luck to you TL, just in a car driving 900+ miles is tiring id hate to do it with a rumbling v-twin between my legs! also hate driving that long because even if i had someone else driving i cant sleep so i end up pushing through then be so tired you cant sleep....

I can't wait until I graduate college (1 more year!) then I'll be able to take the trip down because I'll be making more then $5.25/hr. Well thats the plan at least lol

If I was to go it would be 3,019mi. Although I'd love to attend realistically it's too far.

I'm 6 miles away - any prize for the shortest? How about having attended all 6 DFs? Looking forward to being there again this year!
