Where are the twisties?
I think we have one road in Gainesville that has more than one curve.
Snoozville.
I was thinking about welding my forks straight so that I didn't even have to hold the bars.

I've never been down to South FL, but considering we have all those pine tree's and Tates Hell State Forest right on HWY 98, I'd say it's pretty unique. They call this area the forgotten coast. Love it over here; sure does blow the Texas gulfcoast away beauty wise.

EDIT: Video of me passing some slowpoke with Michigan plates... go home snowbird! I really like the low end grunt that EVL3010 provides. I'm incredibly happy with that thing, and the whole rebuild.

Some of the twisty roads I was talking about. I cross the GA/FL state line at about 2:55.

That is some real pretty country you got there.
I'd like to ride it with you sometime.

What kind of bars have you got there and are they really comfortable?

I managed about 8 1/2 minutes and I gotta say if that is what is considered twisties where you are you really need to come down here!!!!!

You would love Fitzhugh Road, Purgatory road, Willow City loop, County road 473, Park Road 4.. the list goes on and on.

They're just standard buckhorns I believe.

We have some more twistier roads out here... just didn't hit them on there. I should take full video of Meridian road from Tallahassee, all the way to Thomasville, GA. REALLY pretty country through there.

I've done a little bit of riding in the hill country, but when I was living in Houston I was working and didn't have too much time to get out there except to hunt. When I move back I'm definitely going to take the time to ride back in the part of my home state that I love the most.

Have you ridden the twisted sisters yet? I've taken a cage on them... decided to ride down to Leakey for a little while. We will definitely have to get together and do some riding!
