Default 2687 Miles in 6 days ::56k BEWARE::

So last month i took a trip of a lifetime. myself and three other guys (on harleys) went to bike week. now i am from Ohio and we could not ride out of here because of all of the snow at the time, but my aunt lives in ATL we drove a truck and a trailer to her house and got the bikes off there. so over the next 6 days i rode 2687 miles on my 2006 CBR600F4i around Florida. We were never in one place very long. We started in ATL and rode to Daytona, stayed the night to see all of what was going on and then took off that morning and left for Miami. Got to Miami about mid, and took a cab to south beach and had a little fun then stayed the night there. After Miami we went over to Naples, and then to Tampa. We stayed with a friend of mine in Tampa, then left that morning for Key West. We were in Key west for 3 nights and then i took the longest trip of them all. We rode from Key West to Atlanta in one day. 855 miles, and 15 hours later we arrived in Atlanta at my aunts house. It was a great time.....here are some of the pictures from the trip.
