Paradise Lost
Eating again.
Yesterday we finally made the trip to Cheeseburger in Paradise, a hamburger chain owned by Jimmy Buffet growing industrial side. Ian had been there before and I was really looking forward to this. The entire group was looking forward to it.
We had a great set of bikes ranging from Cecil’s scooter (gotta love that guy) to Nick’s Raider. A few e-Glides, Connie’s Kawi and we picked up Yarka on the way. It was a Class 2 ride primarily because we used I-95 to get to Miami. The good news was that I only made one wrong turn and it was because I followed the GPS. Ian got us into the parking garage he knew about and we parked in a nice spot in front of LA Fitness where everyone could see the bikes as they entered the parking garage for the outdoor mall.
It took us no time at all to locate the Cheeseburger in Paradise location and identify the problem. It was closed. Not for the day, but totally gone never to return. We were all shocked. Trudy had to be resuscitated because she was counting on that little pair of sunglasses she buys that came with the free drink. Well, we got over it and Connie asked some cute girls ( should one of the guys have done that?) if they could recommend a place. We ended up at Dan Marino’s and had a great lunch.
Since Mark missed us on the way down he invited us to stop at his house to see his new toy, a 2002 custom Bourget. Very nice bike. It needs some TLC, but damn… it’s a beauty. Exceptional paint. We enjoyed Mark’s place which is awesome. He bought cookies and donuts and I was ready to move in. It will probably be the site of our next 360Bikers party as he volunteered it.
We came back up Federal to Copans and out to US441/SR7. It was an adventuresome day with our group showing flexibility all the way. We had fun, food and a nice ride. Now, we have to find another Cheeseburger in Paradise.
