MIAMI→KEY LARGO→ISLAMORADA→MARATHON→KEY WESTFHP escort, no exceptions
BEGIN TRANSACTION Four days of dealer parking lots and one user group talk got the bike this far. What happens for the next three has nothing to do with any of that — an escorted ride down the Overseas Highway, a bike show, a pool party with a tricycle race in it, and Havana Nights at Casa Marina. No SQL content whatsoever, and no apologies for that either.

Kickstands Up — the Escorted Ride
FHP Escort · 10:30 AM from Peterson's H-D South
🏍10:30 AM, Peterson's H-D South, and however many bikes showed up for a Florida Highway Patrol escort down US-1. This is not a ride you pace yourself for.
🍽Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill — Key Largo. First stop on the chain.
🍽Robbie's of Islamorada — Mile Marker 77.5. The tarpon-feeding one, if that's still going on when we roll through.
🍽Sunset Grill — Marathon. Last stop before the final stretch to Key West.
🏠Check-in at Casa Marina, then Havana Nights — the theme dinner that kicks off the weekend.

Bike Show, Pool Party, and a Tricycle Race
Casa Marina, Key West
🏍Bike Show, 10 AM – 2 PM — the V-Rod isn't entered in anything, but there's no version of this event where I don't walk the rows twice.
🏊Pool Party, 11 AM – 6 PM — overlapping the bike show by design, apparently. A tricycle 50/50 race/fundraiser happens somewhere in the middle of this. I have no further information and I'm not sure I want any before it happens.
🍹Rick's Bar, 8 PM – until — the closing party. "Until" is doing a lot of work in that timeslot.
Sunday · Sep 20
Leisure Morning, Then North
Key West → Miami · ~160 mi
🛒No FHP escort for the return leg — just a leisure morning, the Southernmost Point, Duval Street, fuel up before leaving. Nobody's in a hurry to leave Key West on a Sunday.
🏍US-1 N, back through the Keys, ~160 miles to Miami. Same road as Friday, none of the sirens this time.
COMMIT TRAN
V-RodDBA · September 2026 · Key West, FL | Part 3 of 4 — next up: the long way home
