6-1/2 hour drive.....No way. I drove to Florida once. It took me 3 days to get there and 3 days to get back....Worst trip I ever took. Now if the weather was good....I could ride my bike to Cali and it wouldn't bother me one bit.
Hell I've driven to Fla in 21 hours from Phila to Jupiter only stopping to hit the boys room, and also have ridden my FatBoy to Fla quite a few times and back, even did the Sturgis run before too, gotta love them runs, lil tough on the .... but fun.
