Was playing around with the free google earth:
http://3dearth.googlepages.com/home

If you live in the Daytona area, this is a nice twisty from flager to palm coast:
-81.179599,29.476346

Got a new gps that shows speed traps:

Would be great if we could start sharing gps points of nice routes, speed traps, buell knowledgeble mechanics/shops.

Well, if you ever find yourself in Missouri beware the area around Auxvasse on
Highway 54. They are notorious for their overzealous enforecment on the highway.

A town of a couple hundred, they extended their city limits when the highway bypass
was built. They employ off-duty cops from other nearby jurisdictions to help
cover their little money-maker (the highway).

Your Buell is tight. Did you get the black powder coat done locally? How much did the job set you back?

Another highly twisty in the Daytona area:
start lat 29.409113, lon -81.119270
end lat 29.401725, lon -81.113616

Runs by the swamp. Had to stop once cause a gator was sunning himself on the road. He did not want to move so I went around him. Lots of rare birds to see. Cops have been staking it out lately due people preforming the turns at speeds too high. Ride safe!
