No, no twisties or anything. But the scenery..
My last ride out of Key West began before sunrise - I timed that to occur while I was on the Seven Mile Bridge. Then I headed west on Alligator Alley, and across the Sunshine Highway to Clearwater. I've also done the southern route (I think it's 19). Spectacular scenery and wonderful weather in the winter!
I love the Florida Keys and Key West. And no helmet required anymore (so long as you have a little health insurance).
Alligator Alley used to be a very dangerous road, but it's much better now.
Riding down there is no more dangerous than on any other heavily traveled road. But then, I think nothing of riding in D.C. or Manhattan, so South Florida is a piece of cake. Those of you who aren't used to serious traffic may not like it...
But I have a lot of problems w/ the Great Southwest. First of all, the cops in Arizona were all over my @ss everytime I went there - never had such problems in any other state, so I don't go there anymore! Nevada and New Mexico are nice but it can get really cold there at times during the winter.
California is nice, but many parts are so packed with traffic and stuff that it's just not fun, and many of the best riding roads are ruined by sports cars that can't even stay on their side of the road as they race around on them.
Plus, it's getting into the rainy season, at least for northern California - I've been there (San Francisco up to Eureka) in February when it rained every day for weeks on end. Talk about no fun!
