Hello from Panama City, FL

[Dannymarino131]

Anyone in the area have a NC700?

Welcome Danny, look around the site for awhile. There's lots of NC'rs from FL.
I'm not up on FL geography but the NC will go a long way so you should be able to meet some peeps.

Members map shows about 35 NCs in Florida but only a few in panhandle. Not everyone gets around to putting their location on the map.

Welcome from further down on the Gulf Coast in Tampa. Just got my NC this weekend and rode it from St. Augustine to Tampa. 4-1/2 hours with a short 15 minute break.

I was stationed a Fort Rucker in the 60's. Really enjoyed living there. I guess you still have the National Peanut Festival in Dothan.

I have only been here a couple of years but really like the area. The National Peanut Festival was a few weeks ago, but it has gotten huge now! I prefer some of the festivals in small towns around in Alabama and Georgia.

I am from Mobile, Al. (the home of the first Mardi Gas) so I was used to parades and general craziness but I was shocked when at the beginning of the National Peanut parade in Dothan a giant truck goes down the parade route and dumps peanuts in the middle of the street and people scurry out to rake up their share.


I really wanted to make it to this one but was out of town this year.

Do they come through with a giant truckload of 'possums and dump them out in the street so everyone can get their share?

Mobile Mardi Gras: When I was at Ft. Benning, Ga attending the IOBC (MOS 1542) I was invited to a Mardi Gras Ball in Mobile one weekend by a college classmate. I secured a weekend, got my dress blues and we went to the Ball. She wore a very nice Southern Belle gown and I in my brand new dress blues. All the men wore tuxes and I was almost denied entrance because the doorman didn't think the dress blues uniform (which I guess many had never seen) was not formal enough. This was in 1968, so maybe a preview of anti-war sentiment?

Ft Rucker: In the mid-70s I was attached to the 11th SFG and we ran a 2 week FTX from there into the Ocala National Forest in Florida. I really didn't get to see much for Fort Rucker or the local area.

Anyway, Hello from South Florida and a fellow NX700X rider.

 

[L.B.S.]

I can't imagine anything more classy looking and worthy of respect than the dress uniform of a military person. Boo to that doorman!

No I think PETA put a stop to that, but they do have a beauty pageant.
