The fun is on I-4, 2:30am @140+mph.Other than that Orlando is flat and boring....learn your wheelies.And suppositivly there's a "no chase unless suspect of recent crime" law.

There are good twisties around you just have to know where to find them. Most are in lake county. You can try www.central-florida-cycle.com (http://www.central-florida-cycle.com) . These guys get together every weekend and organize some trackdays. I wouldn't mind showing you around some but i'm working out of town right now so my ride time is limited http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Just watch out for the popo. They know the ride spots and hang out sometimes.

cool guys. the local suzuki dealer to me has this guy that plans out rides every sunday. i told me its from 8:am to sometimes 8:pm they go all over and the roads are killer. now im thinking killer to him might be some good turns. to me killer is 15 mph one after the other like deals GAP. where im from up in the POCONOS of PA. i have killer roads 3 mins from my house that are none stop fast turns and hills that you can power wheelie off. and no cops for miles. i dont care if i need to ride an hr to get to killer roads or maybe 2 hrs. i just need to open up and let my week day stress out.

tons of o-town riders.

my bike's in pieces ..still awaiting a rebuild after the frame gets powder coated.

hit up tues night bike night at hooters in casselberry near red bug & 436 ( semoran )

and thursday nights at steak n shake, then usually hit up a industrial park towards the airport afterwards for a little 'stunt-n'...

every time i rode out i met atleast 2 or 3 people..

sunday mornings are the time to ride though..riders all over the place..i know enough twisties around orlando to keep me busy http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey, the good ride is usually thursday night after steak n shake , presidents is not so hot again and also if you want to risk it you can do the Heintzelman loop by the airport. But some good advice I can give you is not to ride out with the streetracers on saturday night. Some people used to do the Disney loop on fridays but I have'nt heard so much about it. I have'nt made it to Steak n' shake in a while but last time there was an abundance of squids. If you want to do some local knee draggin you can hit up Poincianna, just keep your group small hit it and haul ass , the polk county sheriff can be a crew of absolute asses.I'm gettin ready to ask the guys on the R1 forum to set up another Ocala national forest ride. For anyone who says florida has no twisties it's for sure they've never done Ocala. I also went on a ride to Okeechobee from Orlando about 3wks ago. It's a friggin blast even though I rode down by myself and met up with the group in Southbay. I took 192 to 441@ Holopaw and then south on 441. Nothin but cows and road. One stopsign on the way down. averaged 146mph. Then around the lake we were hittin 176 indicated until some deputy in Clewiston decided to follow us for 10 miles http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Oh yeah if you wanna head out hit me up on the R1-forum. Same handle : Solidus. BTW Like I said about the hangin with the ricers on Saturdays , last weekend a group of about 12 bikes hauled ass and were chased by OPD ( I am OPD btw ) the officer that was behind them said one guy lost it on the off ramp to semoran from 528 and lowsided his bike. No one stopped or came back to help. He was ok and was given a ticket. OPD does have a non pursuit policy but some people will still "aggressively follow" you. Be careful guys , especially when I'm with ya. Some of you have prolly rode with me a bunch of times . I used to hang out with Gixxer Brandon with the crazy red hair and no bike now.

Being an R1 guy I prolly should'nt be privy to all this but ......................... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/idea.gif Cycle Riders Suzuki on Colonial drive ( SR50 ) . If you take I-4 to the Colonial exit go west . About 3-4miles down and on the left. If you see a major cross st. called John Young blvd keep going and it's about a mile and on the left.

Thanks for the Info. . . If I go down Colonial drive, do I go past the Diamond exchange and the Sun Trust Bank which would be on my right or do I go in the other direction. . .
