That looks like fun, but I'm from Florida and I don't think we have that many curves in the entire state. I'm afraid that I'd have to take it a bit slower and enjoy the scenery on a road like that. But it does look fun.  |

Steamer, thanks for the ride refreshing we have some wicked roads up here too! only problem is we cant FIND THEM!!! right now We had 6-8" of wet snow back in March and it did a lot of damage to our trees...we spent 3 months cleaning up downed trees....being from the Mountains of NE Georgia, we got a good amount of snow days built into the school year, but it seems we always went over our allotment and had to spend a couple of Saturdays at school as make-up days.....it's fun to play in it, but no fun when the power starts going out.....I think I'd go stir crazy if I had to be snowed in as long as you guys are sometimes..... I'd LOVE to tour the roads of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine in the Fall.....maybe one day... I hope... |

But it does look fun. Well....my Wife was born in Daytona and goes to Disneyworld with her Mother...every year here lately....I enjoy visiting down there, but I'd probably fall asleep on those long straight aways.... sometimes it's nice to smell the roses....and then sometimes, you have to get your $$'s worth out of an Avon!!..... ...  ... |

Here is some roads you have to give a little gas and scrape your pegs, How do we get through the winter? My grandchildren are in Tampa FL now, just moved from Fort Waltin Beach FL, It's all i can do to get a break for a couple of weeks this winter.

thanks for the video.
only 120 more days and then maybe a good thunderstorm to wash all the sand off the roads and we can enjoy our twisty roads along the mississippi.

Well....to be truthful....you have to be careful down here in the mountains in the winter time...they sometimes spread the sand/gravel mix even if it threatens to snow/ice up and it is usually a couple of feet inside the white lines until a big rain washes it away......not good!!....in fact, in my video around the 5 minute mark, I had to chop the throttle because I hit a patch of that fine gravel...if you turn the volume up loud enough, you might be able to hear it tinkling off of the exhaust...that stuff can ruin a person's day!! |
