So I finally had my scoot running good (note I said HAD, it's now torn apart installing a BBK and new head) So on Sunday I went for a ride out to Jacksonville's intercoastal A1A ride ending at a great restaurant in Mayport, and then the beach on my way home.

In this first pic you can see in the background the steam coming off of the cooling stacks at our power plant. Mind you those stacks are about 30 miles away. (really good camera hehe)

This is Singletons, the restaurant that I had lunch at. This place is one of the best seafood restaurants in the world. It has a deep history here in Jacksonville. It's a shack that is built on docks over the intercoastal. Over the years they've added additional docks and rooms for more customers giving it a real shack type appearance. They only use fresh daily catch seafood, and it's one of the only places I know of that yo can get real, fresh, fried clams. Every other place normally uses frozen crap. My grandfather was good buddies with the old man who started this place way back when, he used to take me fishing off of of this same dock when I was just a little boy.

All of these pictures where taken during my lunch on their outside seating dock.

Hey man looked liked a good time! Gorgeous scenery down there, and that seafood shack reminds me of one we have down in Cape May here in NJ, but I'll bet anything coming out down there is probably way better.

Love the shots of the ship docked and the birds on the poles. Really nice photos and thanks for sharing.

Throw on your helmet and join us on our scooter adventures! #TeamGS

THAT is what biking is all about...

Just NOT the same driving the family car! Great pix, and great story too. Many miles, and smiles to you from Texas. Ride safe, and always enjoy the ride!

Sincerely,

Leo (Betty too) in Texas

Yup it was a great trip. All of about 70 miles round trip but with stops for pics and lunch it took me about 3 hours. I'm planing on another one as soon as my rebuild is done. I'm going to take the same rout except this time I will hop the ferry that is next to this restaurant and take a1a all the way up to Amelia Island. It's a real pretty ride once on the other side of the Intercoastal. I didn't do the whole ride this time due to time restraints. I wanted t be back home before dark.

This spring I'm planning on taking A1a all the way south to the Florida Keys. Planning on it taking 4 days round trip with stops and scenery pictures.

Looking forward to sharing more great pixs with you guys!
