so im thinking after i wrap up the job I am on right now im heading down to naples, as my parents have a condo there and I have yet to go. Prolly the end of february. Im going with a couple friends of mine, who are a couple, and as I am single right now im taking my girl Suzie (my bike). So whats the skinny on naples, the good places I should go, anyone ride down that way, anyone maybe interested in being a tour guide a couple of times? Im trailering my bike, and sometimes 3 is a crowd and it will be nice to take off on my bike, and meet up with other riders from this forum. And as Im coming from Massachusetts, the weather will be a very nice retreat. Thanks, guys and gals.

Not sure about Naples but I live in Jacksonville, moved from Jersey. Atleast 5 bike nights a week during the summer and 2-3 during the winter still going on.. If you're into track riding or interested we will be going to JenningsGP on the 26-27th of this month. Just a plain ole track day where ya can beat the piss outta your bike and have fun.. I think Naples is about 2 hours from JenningsGP, which is the same for us in Jacksonville..

Both are about 3 hours to Jennings, FL. There are more tracks out there but I only go to Jennings and will be going to Daytona next month to their track day..

Edit* Just saw the end of February when you're coming down. Naples is alright... a lot of old people. 5th Ave. south is kinda fun on Fri/Sat nights. See a lot of ridiculous cars parked down there. All of us are from Fort Myers. Riding is a little better up here. Usually hit up the beach or ride out to Cape Coral. Keep in touch man, we'll ride when you get down here.

I live down in Naples. I have my whole life. It's really nice to vacation here, but I for younger people there isn't that much to do. I'd have to say Pelican Larry's or 5th Ave. As far as riding goes, there's not too many twisties but it's kinda cool to just ride on 41 down to the keys. Hit me up when u get here and we'll have to ride.

Just my 2 cts, Can you say cops? This place Ft Myers and And Naples are infested w/ cops. And i have never been, But Hooters on thurs night many bikes show up. If you like drag racing? Or just like to watch? Friday night is a good time to go to Immoklee drag strip. But if your still here or can stay untill feb 29 till march 3. Go to Daytona Bike week.

Just to correct you. More like 5 or 6 hours to Jennings. I have drove there and it takes more time then that.

Yeah cops all over the place. If anyone from down here wants to go see the first AMA superbike race of the year let me know. I might be able to make the trip.
