Alice's is a great place to eat. I have seen that parking lot chock full of bikes on various Saturdays and Sundays some decades ago. If I remember correctly, corner of Skylonda Drive / Hwy. 9, and Hwy. 84, parking lot was in front of a real estate office.
You guys must have had a great ride there, it was always good for me.
One Sunday in particular, the first one I ever rode up there, I was breaking in Harry Klinzmann's TZ750 for Daytona (full race gear, NO lights, registration, full slicks, etc.), and did not know Alice's, nor the population of motorcyclists were even there, and blew through the place about 120 mph. Upon reflection, I, and others were just plain lucky nobody was in the intersection when I blasted through it. My cohort that was helping me never told me there were places along the road where people gathered, I had NO idea.
It was not known that just past those trees in the pictures about 1/4 mile, the road makes a 90 degree turn to the right. The brakes worked excellent, too. I turned around, came back to Alice's, and parked the bike leaning against the flag pole. This garnered complete and total attention from just about everyone. Someone wanted to know where the "low flying airplane that had just buzzed the place" went, and if it had crashed. My pal came up finally in my truck, asking if anyone / I had been killed in the wreck.
I visited Alice's many times after that, riding my street H2 hot rod, always a pleasure, and, great motorcycle people there.
