I just bought a house in the Village of Pinellas. I have a sport- touring bike and I definitely enjoy spirited rides. I was thinking of starting a sport touring club for spirited riders who enjoy short and long riding days and overnight trips. I have motorcycled in Georgia and North Carolina and I think that might be a nice destination ride if we have a week or so. I am in the process of selling my house up in New Hampshire, but I hope to be down here here fulltime in three or four months. I have a BMW R1200RT.

In regard to twisty roads around here I don't know if there are any, but there are some scenic roads out to Daytona from the Villages and I see some other scenic roads noted on the map. I just came down from St Augustine by car
on some nice back roads. They were mostly straight, but they offer some pleasant riding. Nothing is twistier, though, than those roads up around Deals Gap in North Carolina!
