Describe Florida roads in 3 words:
Straight
Flat
Straight
Straight
Flat
Straight
more like, straight, flat, slight bend.
You forgot to mention flat and straight, LOL.
Good roads in Ocala National Forest. Long way from you, though.
It's not that different here in town I need to travel about 1.5hrs just to hit some twisties then 1.5hrs back.
As you can see in my vid and Scott pointed out all those twisties ate against mountains and or cliffs usually both

I'm so lucky to have twisties minutes from home.
Yes u are I guess ur the only one i was surprised how everybody said the same "we don't have twisties around here"

I got to ride a ton of twisties in central and northern california last summer too. I know when I've visited family in Oklahoma, I just look around like "where are all the mountains?" I told my wife when we were driving on I40 last time we were there "Look it's so flat I can see where we're going to be on the road in an hour!" lol.
Not good for a biker.
Yesterday I realized that you could ride a bike for decades in the city and still be a noob at cornering just one of those things

Very true JT. There's very different techniques involved in high speed cornering, mid-speed cornering, and slow speed cornering. Add pedestrians, dogs, cars, bicycles, and soccer moms into that mix and it's a cluster ****. It's no wonder why so many bikers ride so aggressively around town. It's survival!
That said, I'm the first to admit that although I've logged over 15K+ miles now after 3 years, I still sometimes get nervous when I'm forced to do a tight u-turn anywhere- esp when there's are lotta traffic or if there's any steep inclines involved. But, put me up in the twisties, and I feel elated & right at home. Go figure.
Meh... chicken strips... ya think he's still got any?:

Here's mine. The left is skinnier than the right, but I'm not sure those are my doing. I let my son ride it to his girlfriend's house last week because the rear tire on his GSXR 750 needed to be replaced.
So I don't think I can legitimately claim them, although I know I'm turning a lot better the more I ride.

Haha. That just means there's more left turns in my town than right turns. Actually, in thinking about my routes, there's not one straight road except the freeway and most of the turns are lefties, so maybe I can partially claim those chicken strips. Lol
