Run Turkey's Run!!

WOW, what a blast Saturday was with the AMCA Sunshine and Everglades annual Thanksgiving chapter ride in Okeechobee. I was quite skeptical with the weather being cold and all, but WHAT A TURN OUT!
Almost 40 vintage bikes on a 121 mile ride around the lake!!! We made 4 stops in all.
Heading out from the Flamingo hotel in Lake Okeechobee and then heading east and south around the Lake, we stopped in Pahokee to view the beautiful lake. Next stop was Clewiston for lunch. The Clewiston Inn put on quite a spread and we were all stuffed to the gills. After lunch we drove about 40 miles to the next stop, some of us got a little lost out there in the wilderness and nearly ended up fried from some fires in the cane fields. One guy said he saw what he thought were "black rats" running out from the fire until he realized they were "burnt bunnies" high tailing it out of there! At any rate, we all made safely back to the hotel around 4 pm or so and a great time was had by all. Look for the video's on YouTube. The first one is a slide show called Run Turkey Run, it's a short slide show just to keep all you vintage junkies at bay until we can finish the full feature film version. It was supposed to be called DIE TURKEY DIE but we were talked out of that title.
Listen, comment on our posts or email us so we know SOMEONE OUT THERE Is reading our posts and enjoying them!!! have a great Thanksgiving ya'all.
