    Funny, I was about to post pretty much the same thing.

    I had the pleasure of meeting earlfor today and following him around as he proved to me that Flori-duh DOES, indeed, have some curves.

    Had to ride about 50 miles of boring road to meet him, then after we went our separate ways, but we shared about 140 miles of decent roads.

    Had some roads that were just scenic:


    It's kinda hard to get two curves in the same shot, so you will have to take my word that the vent in my windshield is normally horizontal.
    That means that I am just coming out of a corner in this shot:


    And the gratuitous shot of "Blue" and "Bandit":



    Had a great time today. Thanks, Earl.

            Happy to keep you turning enough to work the rust out of the steering head on the Wing. LOL There's this little road I know that winds through a salt marsh about 6 inches above sea level with some quick 270 Deg reverses through gators here and there you might like. eheh Dont drop the bike though, or the gators get lunch.
