Motorcycles in Key West

Post by PARROT HEAD MIKE »

OK It's getting close and with this weather not close enough. I'm going to Key West with my brother next Friday 1/26 for 2 weeks. We are running the 1/2 Shell Raw Bar Half Marathon on Sunday but more importantly we are going to rent Harleys for a few days and ride up over the 7 MI bridge to Marathon and Islamorada. Has anybody ever rented one down there or know where to rent one, I remember seeing a couple of motorcycle shops but not sure if the had rentals.

Keep in mind that you probably will NOT want a VRSC or a Fatboy if you are driving across the bridge. Seven miles on a bridge might be a lot of wind pushing against those solid wheels.

We're looking to do the same thing this summer. If you get on H-D's website, they have a search page where you can find the rental dealers. If I remember right there are 2 in Miami. They want a $2500 per bike deposit on a Credit Card, plus the rental fee. You have to have the M/C endorsment on your DL. If you don't have your own, they provide the helmet and rain gear at no extra charge.
