RichEdwards Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The BMW Riders (just 3 of us) had a great ride to the Florida Flywheelers event on Saturday, Feb. 26 ( http://www.floridaflywheelers.org/ ). The Flywheelers event takes place on their huge property in South Central Florida that includes a complete antique village, lots of food concessions, antique cars and other antique stuff, and hundreds of restored tractors and engines, steam and petroleum powered. And there's a tractor pull event that demonstrates the power of these vehicles. Jeff Wyatt led the ride over the best curvy roads to and from this event in Ft. Meade, FL. It was a perfect 80 degrees and sunny. ps--All photos were taken with my iPhone. Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 They used to have something set up at the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona everything thanksgiving IIRC. Neat stuff. Link to comment
David13 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Flywheel, nothing. That looks like a tractor pull to me. I like steam conventions. But it used to be that one had to go all the way to Iowa to find one. dc Link to comment
Lmar Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Nice pics!! The fruits and vegetable look very nice. Great looking tomatoes and onions. I haven't seen onions that big for quite some time. Link to comment

Fubar Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wish I knew that was going on. I didn't know there were any twisty roads near Ft. Meade. I've been there and only seen the straight ones. Link to comment
