Florida USA road trip

Just going to put this out there.
I was planning a trip to Florida next March but my travel partner has pulled out due to other comitments , so looking for someone who would like to do some bucket list stuff.
Firstly the Daytona 500 , next week Daytona bike week, then Trucks gone wild at the Redneck Yacht Club ( google it ) , somewhere in there a trip down to Key West.
After that head up to Atlanta and hire a couple of bikes and ride the Apalachins and take in the Wheels through time museum, do the Tail of the Dragon and maybe something else .
approximately 4 weeks .
Me , turning 60 , married, party friendly , love my shovelhead, been to Sturgis twice (not bragging as I know that a lot of others done it more than me)
Cost ,expecting about 10k
have to start booking soon as possible to get the best deals.
Just seeking serious people with similar interests (horsepower, piss and you get the picture ) just want to have a great time. ????and see something different.
Cheers Noddy

I've never been and am wishing I could accompany you, but alas, anyway, as you will be in the Alanta Georgia area, slip across to Birmingham Alabama and check out the Barber Motorcycle Museum, apparently the largest motorcycle museum in the World, google it,

Thanks for the heads up on the other museum, I haven't heard of it before, I might have to take some extra time to fit this all in ?

Barber will blow your mind! The bottom floor is the workshop and out of bounds....i jokingly said to a staff member that we were so disappointed not being able to access it. He came back about 5 min later and had rung Mr Barber who extended a free VIP tour to the workshop. I was allowed to sit on Freddie Spencers Honda superbike and then his title winning NSR 500 . Its a MUST do full day if your in the area
