I shivered on the way to work! I guess I'll have to start wearing my liner in my jacket and dig my chaps out of the closet! Word is there is a freeze warning out for inland central Florida tonight. Maybe I'll get a frosty helmet in the morning! Randy: '05 TBA Green/silver AI out

If you guys had a turn in your roads down there I would think about moving there I'm sure glad the word hasn't gotten out about our twisty roads. That's a pic about 30 miles into the Devil's Highway that runs parallel to the New Mexico border. It goes from about 9,000 ft, around where that pic was taken back in May 04, down to 4,000 ft. It's called the Devil"s Highway because it used to be numbered Hwy 666. That came from originally being the 6th branch off of Route 66. But the powers that be finally decided 666 was just too evil, so they renumbered it to hwy 191. What makes this such a great motorcycle road is that over about 60 miles or so there are virtually no feeder roads. The time I rode it when that pic was taken, I saw a total of 5 cars in 90 miles. Nope, this isn't any Tail of the Dragon where traffic is getting to be unbearable. It's just an awesome ride if you like twisty roads. But don't tell anyone else about it. Our 5 day forecast goes from 82 gradually decreasing to 75 for the high. Oops, starting to get chilly.
