Good time of year in FL (video)
#1

Took 2 hours to find some curves in Florida. I'm definitely no Rossi nor trying to break any lap times but it was a fun little stretch of road and you can hear the Staintune in the background. Of course, as soon as I set off I got stuck behind a really slow suv, so please pardon the quick cut around the minute mark.

Also, I did a terrible job of avoiding the sand in the middle of the road at 1:36. Scared me when the front end got just a touch of wobble as I went over it.

Nice vid. Liked the view from your helmet cam. Never seen a road that curvy in Florida lol. Staintune sounded good. Noticed that little " moment" with the sand. Mentally thats never fun. Had the same " moment" the other day with some gravel in a turn.

Good job!

Its in the Crystal River area. That's on the left coast of FL, north of Tampa. Its a beautiful place, known for fresh water springs and the largest population of manatees anywhere. In fact, "manatee watching" has emerged as one of the areas top attractions.
