Welcome!! St. Augustine is one of our favorite places to visit. Absolutely beautiful city! Enjoy the new VFR and VFRD. Great community here.

Greetings from a little further on up the road in J-ville, captbill, you'll like it here. May I commend you on an excellent choice of steed in your '08. You'll have lots more fun on your viffer than that big ol' FJR. :beer: Back in the day, I spent many a weekend afternoon on Scarlet O'Hara's front porch waving to tourons with smiley faces pinned to their lapels. Now, I mostly ride through, but St. Auggy is a great town. There are a few more of us on the board from the area, and they may happen along soon as well. Good Luck!

Great bike, but alittle more than I needed or wanted for the time I spend riding. Also I wanted to go back to a V4, Torgue and sound= FUN!

Congrats on your VFR and welcome to the forum! :smile:

Spent a week in St. Augustine about 10 years ago, great town. Is "The Saltwater Cowboy" still there? My father-in-law loved the frogs legs there. :biggrin:

Great place cowboys'' there other place ''Creekside'' is also very good. My son Inlaw owns SouthBeach Grill and JTs Seafood Shack a little further south
both great places to eat and go. Also Oasis on A1A is a good motor scooter place to End up!
