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





yep, it's a hairpin in the middle ^^



^^ yep, that's about 1300 feet of elevation change



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 :)

Yup yup, curves are fun.  Much better than FL Flatlands!   :cheers:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

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.
