Anyone know a place in Florida I can rent a GSA or similar?

SomeStrangeGuy · 08-16-2008, 09:08 AM

I'd just feel more comfy if I rented a bike I was 'at home' on.

Anywhere in FL in particular?

I am looking into this....

Ride it there, ya pansy!

Timeframe: Octoberish
Location: Orlando, but willing to travel if need be. Well actually thats the goal..just not sure we should use the rectal car the entire time or try a bike. It might be annoying to tote all our gear down there with us so we might pass but....gotta keep the options open, Im fearing MC withdrawl on my time there

You might have better luck finding a Wing down there.

I'm not sure that I'd ride in Florida. Long, straight, flat roads and too many blue-hairs!

smkeatr · 08-16-2008, 10:29 PM

Harley's all day long or even a Wing but I wouldn't bet on anything else around here.

SomeStrangeGuy · 08-18-2008, 10:26 PM

Yeah, looks like I'll try to find a Shelby GT or something...forgot about the 13 second warning downpour, and no way you're getting me to wear anything other than mesh in that section of the country, even in winter. I'm cool, but not that cool

I guess even an interesting car rental would do?

Should I turn this into a 'what should I check out at the theme parks' thread now?

seamus · 08-18-2008, 11:23 PM

Blizzard Beach is (was?) pretty cool. Been 7 years since I was there.

ONEvcs · 08-18-2008, 11:36 PM

"Islands of adventure" is the one to go to if you're into roller coasters...

You HAVE to go down this slide at least once.

That slide kicks a$$.

smkeatr · 08-19-2008, 09:57 PM

Bring lots of money if you plan on hitting the parks much. Oh, and don't forget the $10 a day parking at most parks.

I'm fat - for the benefit of others I avoid stuff like that

Not to mention, I don't think they built that pool at the end for this kind of kinetic energy

Strangely I did see a show on the travel channel about it the other day and it does look interesting. Unfortunately I'm using all the time she's out tanning and spending an extra night at curves to enhance my empty bottle collection, oops.

Oh yeah - we're staying on-park for the whole time there. I guess $odomy IS legal in Fla?

If it makes you feel better, I survived.

And when you start climbing, there's a "puss out" option about halfway up. A smaller, more normal (?) sized water slide you can go down. They even give you a purse to put your balls in.

smkeatr · 08-20-2008, 09:53 PM

Sodomy is legal here. Were getting it the wet way as I type.

I honestly haven't been to a park in years. I've been to almost all of them at one time or another. After the fires of '98, all of them offered all firefighters free admission with a guest and we hit a different park every weekend for 2 months. Now that was fun but on my wages, we just can't afford a $200 day for fun unless it's a track day.

Sea World, Epcot and Universal are my favs. Busch Gardens is up there too if you like coasters.

If you like dinner shows, don't miss Arabian Nights. Free beer and wine.
