For anyone in Lake county, my favorite spot is a road called SE182nd Avenue Rd about 20 miles west of Altoona off of Hwy 42. Lots of good twisties. At the End of the street make a left and there are more twists that take you up to hwy 40.
That is the one thing that I miss since I moved to Florida over 10 years ago. I come from the land of twisty mountains. Although I could ride all year, I miss the close proximity to challenging roads
Thanks for the riding tip! I'm in the Villages 7 months a year and will definitely check this ride out.
More videos like this would certainly be appreciated by me 🙂 👍
What a beautiful video. Thank you. I now live in Florida outside Tampa. Need a few more miles on my new bike to take one of your classes. Can’t wait.
Additional information about CR13 in St Johns Co. The route runs from Spuds on the south end to Julington Creek on the north end. It's about 44 miles from Spuds to the Speedway gas station. Makes a nice trip when you run it both ways plus the ride to the start. Enjoy!
Great video today, Jerry! Beautiful ride!
Absolutely planning a trip to Florida when my wife and I are more comfortable, beautiful scenery
I used to live in Crystal River then up in Monticello, lots of great rides in Central, North Cental, and Panhandle!!
Nice video Motorman! Thanks, appreciate it!
Love your videos Jerry!
Off topic, my wife started using the word “doofus” today and it’s causing marital distress. Haha
She’s insulting our new puppy, and it seems you’re a bad influence, my friend!!
Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Nice places to ride motorcycles in north central Florida too. I like riding out to the springs and swimming when I have the chance.
You and I have similar backgrounds. I live in Sumter Co. and my wife and I ride the roads around Nobleton, Brooksville, Floral City, Webster, Hosomssassa, etc. on a regular basis. I'm grateful to live in such a beautiful place and have the opportunity to ride where most would have to pay to experience! Hope to see you at fall Daytona😊😊
NE Florida, best ride A1A from Nassau to Daytona and SR13 from Jax to Hastings along the St. John. Beautiful rides.
Come to Wales UK if you want to find some twisty mountain roads , that road was like our 'freeways '😀
Uhh yea, I'll be there in the morning.
Thank you Motorman for showing another twisty / curvy road. I will look to ride this in August!
You have done a ride video on tail of the dragon 🐉 .
Hopefully one day you and Mrs Motorman can ride in Ohio. We have the 555 or triple nickel . Also rt 800 and Rt 26 near Marion Ohio
Great riding through the trees 🌲
Have also been in Fl since the 70s. Another couple of nice rides not far from you are cr-42 from just north of Lady Lake to sr-44, and sr-40 just east of Ocala thru the forest, to the Astor area and the St Johns river. I currently live just west of St Augustine, and as mentioned in some of the other comments, cr-13 from spuds, to the julington creek area along the St Johns river is a very scenic and curvy ride also.
I live in Citrus county and have been riding since September. I’ll have to add this to the list of places to go explore. I’ve heard that Ozello Trail is also a very nice road to ride.
If I'm ever in FLA with my bike, I'll have to check out some of this.
Use to ride Gobbler just about every weekend to go to Sleepy Hollow before that A-hole burned it down. Nice video Jerry, thanks
Highway 48 just south of Highway 44, I think it's Floral City. I used to get on that road when I delivered gasoline, coming back to Tampa empty. Looks like a fun road for a bike. Thanks for the video. I just got a 2014 eglide ultra limited. My retirement bike. Hope to bump into you some day.
Nice road to check out is route 42. It’s an east -west rd. Heading east you wInd up in Deland, Fl. From there take the 415 to Daytona.
I highlighted that road on my last trip to Daytona.
A couple of cool places to stop for food near Rt. 42 is, for breakfast,” Ducks Dam Diner” and for lunch, “Gator Joes”. “Ducks Dam Diner” has real country breakfast at reasonable prices. When ordering pancakes, order one because they’re as big as a Frisbee! “Gator Joes is on Lake Weir in Weirsdale. Decent bar food and nice view of the lake. That area was famous for the shootout between The Ma Barker gang and the,”G men” (FBI) during the gangster era of the 1920’s.
P.S. There’s a great seven mile road near Ducks Dam diner called,”SE182 ave rd. “ it’s between,”Medors corner and RT. 42. It’s only seven miles but it’s a great freshly repaved rd. that skirts the forest. One of my favorite rides.
While we can generally ride year round in FL, finding decent roads can be a challenge. I spent 30+ years in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area and there's literally no curves, elevation changes, etc. to be found except on interstate entrance ramps. Plenty of places for high speed runs but that gets boring and dangerous after a while.
A number of years back, i moved further north into the Treasure Coast region- Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties- and there are some ok riding roads up here due to the Atlantic Ridge.
But the best riding I've found in FL is in Lake, Sumter, Marion and Citrus counties. You'll find plenty of more 'challenging' roads than the typical flat/straight FL roads but... who the heck wants to live in CentFla? No breeze, constant and brutal humidity, population growth that's out of control, rednecks galore- no thanks.
If you're going to live in FL, you gotta live near one of the coasts, period. Why else would you live in FL if not for the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf? I recently tried CentFla- north of the wretched Orlando area for 6 months- and it was a miserable place to live. They can keep it. Glad to be home again on the Treasure Coast.
Where are the good roads in the treasure coast?
Lived in Ocala for 14 years. I now live in Melbourne. Couldn't agree more. A bunch of hillbillies and no wind at all. It's the coldest and hottest place in Florida at all times. Been here for 8 years now and couldn't be happier with the people or the weather.
Jerry, thanks for the great information. I have had the Insta360 for a while now, my secret was to watch a few UA-cam videos to learn as I was doing. I only use the basic features like following the action (actually planning for where you want to look)What really help was editing my granddaughter’s soccer game, that will drive you nuts, but it helped. I started with an older PC, it was slow but never crashed.
Good luck,
If I manage to get the app not to crash, whatever footage I export, I can't get the video to play on any type of player program I can find.
Jerry, the exported file should be a .mp4, which will play on anything. Try a short 2 minute test, you can even lower the export resolution too.
More like this please.
Cheers buddy
You should make more videos like this!
Tell ya the truth, I like going from st augustine to destination then to cabbage patch then to main st and then the loop. I happy with that ride. If I want twist and turns I go to TN dragon or devil.
Good road!
The most fun roads I’ve driven are in Europe. Also the safest. The other drivers have three digit IQs. In thousands of kilometers I’ve never seen a raked Easy Rider bike. I’ve never seen a motorcycle with no front brake and a gear shift rigged up to be a tank shift ON THE LEFT with the lever, a braised on stiletto.
I appreciate and use your tips a lot, do you have videos on loose gravel?

I love riding
Nice video to watch. The problem is most of the twisties in FL have numerous hidden driveways. Not fun even when you know the roads. Plus the danger of loose horses and deer.
I'll bet nobody ever calls you a chronic complainer. 😁
I ride the Florida Tail of the Dragon , 318 miles and 14 turns .
Mr. Palladino, I love your videos and what you do, but I hate to break it to ya. The road in this video is flat and straight. LOL. Come to NorCal and I'll share real Twisties with ya. The roads here are amazing on a motorcycle!!! Thanks for all your videos and ride safe.
North Queensland Australia, sounds like Florida weather on the coast anyway
One more great route is the Tomoka/Ormond Beach loop. Easy look up on the net, and probably my favorite motorcycle ride here in Florida! I've run it dozens of times in the Jeep and my bikes. You will not be disappointed!
Can you elaborate a bit on this Tomoka - Ormond Beach loop? Starting point, end point?
Sure! Start on Granada Blvd (SR40) in Ormond Beach eastbound. Just before the intercoastal waterway turn left (north) onto N Beach St. Follow this north past the sugar mill ruins and Tomoka State Park about 12 miles to Walter Boardman Lane and turn right. Drive east to High Bridge Rd and turn right again. Follow High Bridge Rd to the end at A1A and turn right again! (Or right onto John Anderson Dr just before A1A) Follow A1A south back to Granada Blvd (SR40) and turn right.
There are a couple of variations on this route, and I've ridden this many times over the years. From Tomoka State Park to High Bridge Rd is a shaded, tree lined route. Enjoy!
@@williamforbes5826 Thanks so much for the great detail! I keep an RV near Fort McCoy and visit several times a year, passing by Ormond Beach along the way. Will definitely check this route out. Thanks again.
@@raisingcane225 Fort McCoy! Out in the Ocala National Forest! Haven't been out that way in a while!
@@williamforbes5826 Yep, at the KOA there. One can now access the ONF trailheads directly from the RV Park. We keep a couple of side by sides there and will sometimes take the bikes (‘20 Indian Scout Bobber and ‘22 Yamaha XSR900) to ride in that area.
My family moved to Putnam county in August of '77. You do have to look for interesting roads. If you are up north, from Spuds,FL (really! Spuds!) to Orange Park ,FL ride along the St Johns River on CR13. Shaded, curvy, low traffic and absolutely gorgeous scenery!!
Enjoy the ride! Thanks for the tips Motorman! Q: is that an Electra Glide Standard you ride?
Thanks again.
No. It's an 2022 E/GLIDE police bike. ua-cam.com/video/fnI54SVJOlo/v-deo.html
The only thing I would do in Florida on a bike is leave.
The Motorman genuinely appears to enjoy what he does.
Nice video, Lots of people leave Florida in the summer months. Do you enjoy the hot weather for 6 months out of the year?
No. I hate the hot 6 month summer. But I love the other 6 months.
😊😊😎😎
6:40 you mention route 39A. I can't find it on the Google map....
You want a lot of hills and curves, come to Ohio 😊
I need something in palm beach county 😂
Any good tips on some of the clothing you wear in FL in these hot conditions?

Florida Is My Favorite State.... You Guys Can Ride All Year Round... I'm In An Opposite State Of Michigan🥲😆
Off the topic I have a question I have a 2013 Electric Glide the sound is too quiet for my taste do you have any recommendation on a set of slip-ons to make it sound a little bit like a Harley I was told maybe instead of Reinhardt what do you recommend thank you
You can bore a hole in the baffles of the Rinehardt slip-ons.
I have Tab performance slip-ons on my bike. www.tabperformance.com They have 3 different baffles. quiet, similar to stock, medium, nice deep rumble but not obnoxious (what I use) and zombie baffles, (loud) ua-cam.com/video/ifQW8SNaZD4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/DM0KqFEBPTw/v-deo.html
Your 360 cam makes me dizzy. I’m surprised that you didn’t comment on the Sleepy Hollow Bar when you went past it.
Any other complaints? 😁
where is hwy 41 , what town what city .
I have a question? Is the friction zone only used at low speed handling?
Are you referring to the clutch? If so, yes. Low speed maneuvering.
the thumbnail u used in your video is in new york.
Jerry do you do your editing on a PC or a MAC?
PC
@@motorman857 what software do you use? Is it the GoPro software?
@@0873sp Movavi video editor

Where was the great motorcycle road? You’ve got to be kidding!
Want your money back?
With All the global warming it’s still the same temperature. Well Said Motorman.
The fact is Lake Mead and Lake Powell are drying up, those millions of people gotta go somewhere when the hoover damn stops providing water or electricity. Motorman likely won't live to see the effects of global warming. Good advice for doing u turns on a motorcycle, but should leave the climate science to scientists.
I keep a very close eye on the climate scientists like Al Gore, AOC, John Kerry, Obama, Biden ETC. I watch what they do rather than what they say. Oddly, they all bought mansions right on the beach where the sea rise is going to kill millions and they all fly on private jets and ride in motorcades of dozens of SUV's.
@@sqlb3rn Scientists like Al Gore and the idiot in the White House? Hilarious.
