Hey Mike Dozier,

Are you selling Tour Master / Cortech products at your store?

I'm thinking about the Response SC Road Boot --

Can anyone in Orlando give me advice on motorcycle hire? I might working over there for three weeks next month and I'm thinking of hiring a bike (preferably a Triumph) for the duration. I need something with some sort of luggage capacity as I'll be carrying a computer. I've had a quote for a GL1800 but $3,500 US is a little pricey and may get questioned on my expenses claim!

Thanks,
Mick.

Hi Mick,

Unfortunately, the majority of rental bikes for hire here in Orlando are Harleys. I believe EagleRiders also has the Goldwings you mentioned. But I haven't found any sportbikes or european marques for hire - let us know if you find any!!

However, we might be able to work something out if you wanted to hire my personal bike for the time you are here - you can e-mail me privately at mandrewcash@yahoo.com - it is a 2000 Sprint ST, black, with 3-pc factory luggage and aftermarket upgraded suspension front and rear.

Good luck on your quest!
Michael

Thanks very much for the offer Michael, I've got a few options now so I'll mull it over.

I've got Tour Master gloves & some of their electric vests & chaps. As far a boots I've got Teknic "Defenders" (black leather & water proof) touring boots & Answer "Fazer" enduro boots (black leather, not water proof). I wanted to carry the Tour Master boots; however, they would be a hard sell to the locals. Too expensive. Wally down at BMW Motorcycles of Orlando has the boots from Tour Master. I think he's carrying the touring & Adventure rider boots from them.

Have you seen what one of the Orlando RAT guys has been up too?

Carlos, you can be arrested for bike porn you know!

Thanks for the link, Mike! And to Carlos for posting the pics - Shot #2 is my favorite, but they are all great.

Now, the question is just whether I can squeeze one more hobby into the budget and the garage.... And which vintage bike to get ready for next year!

it's about three hours south of Orlando but there's a Triumph only dealer in Lauderdale that rents Bonnies and Rockets but it ain't cheap...

So, who's ready to ride in the mountains?

Actually http://www.britrider.com/ is the group that started the idea but they invited us and we are trying to invite all and any Triumph rider that wants to come to the event.
