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!
I have a BMW K1200LT. You'd be surprised how many twisty roads and hills are in central Florida. It's one of the reasons I moved here. I've also rode NC, Deals Gap and love North Georgia.

If you start a club, "they will come." Don't know how "spirited" I am, though.
