Just thought I'd share a road I discovered yesterday.

A) is my general area, the white dot is Barber Motorsports B) is about where "29 Dreams" a little motorcycle resort is C) is the turn around @ about 49 miles.
I've realized I need a good deal more experience with switchbacks. Especially off camber, decreasing radius, blind turn switchbacks. Throw in a little gravel and it's down right FUN !
Saw the typical potato machines, a gixxer or 5, speed triple, nortons, and what looked like a bunch of sv's playing on the hills today.
No, I do not miss florida :)
looks like a lot of fun. :thumb:
Yup yup, curves are fun. Much better than FL Flatlands! :cheers:
gravel is fun? :cookoo:
now its time to upgrade from the gs500 huh? lol
I've heard a lot about that road and am looking forward to trying it out myself.
yeah, there's nothing like that down here in central FL. It sucks!!

when you get ready to, give a holler. there is "29 Dreams Motorcycle Resort" at the base of one mountain, or my shack, whichever you like.
ride on :)
one hairpin? come out the Black Hills in SD, and i'll show you very short roads that have 10 of them :icon_mrgreen:
