Sunday West to the Everglades

First stop Hooters at Pines and University, for fried pickles, chicken and a pitcher of beer. The floating ziplock of ice cubes kept the beverage chilly.

We got a chuckle from an obvious weekend-dad, getting all the Hooters girls to sign calendars for his two sons: about 13 and 15? "Hey mom, look what DAD got us for EASTER!"


Two cool guys with cool bikes - older Yamaha Roadstars - they did lots of work on these and the bikes show it. Very awesome.


Then we rode straight west. Headed for the edge of the Everglades, and a trip north on 27 up to the Chikki Hut. It's called "Cafe 27" a truck stop, biker bar, restaurant, on US 27 just north of Griffin Road, technically in Weston. Live band and a crowd that grew as the day progressed. The ride back to downtown Fort Lauderdale was 35 minutes on 595. Great Sunday ride, the sun was shining and lots of bikes were out. Good people watching, bike admiring and attire critiquing. Maybe next ride, Anaconda does the bikini top solo, to get some sun.

We see people we know, everywhere we go. Kind of becoming locals, maybe, huh?
