South Flatistan

Any recommendations on service/repair shops (or people) around pompano beach?

I need front brake service, air keeps coming out when I bleed it.

There is a lot around Pompano. I recommend Apex Racing Services. http://apexraceservices.com

Tim Hunt there is an experienced wrench and rider, easy to work with, very customer service oriented.

Thanks, that was going to be one of the first places I call, they open at 9am.

I just finished a ride from WPB to St. Augustine, went up A1A. There were some nice roads, no rain, but hot as hell. Definitely want more curves. Thinking about trying US27 north to Sebring, anyone do that?

all the time...not really any curves but a nice enough ride...

Watch South Bay!! Big speed trap!!!!!

I just did it. I took 710 to 98 to US27N to get to Sebring from West Palm. Then on the way back I took US27S to 80E.

Any other road suggestions is appreciated, I am on a sport tourer though so no off road for me.

I did this as a day trip. I would love to day trip around 200-250mi, loops or whatever that return me to Palm Beach County.

I did A1A to St. Augustine, will probably do A1A to Key West (those are multi-day trips, not because it takes so long to get there, but just because I want to spend a few days there).

I plan to do about 10hour to get to Asheville, NC............a lot of that may be slab, but getting there faster will allow me to enjoy NC more. If someone has a route out of Flatistan that is good for going to NC or TN please let me know.

ginger beard, thanks a lot for posting that! I need to figure out a way to get that route onto my Garmin GPS. I have not used the computer tools for doing that much I know Garmin has software where I could at least re-create the route and load it. Looks like some interesting roads.

That looks like just about as nice of a road ride as one could have here in south Florida. of course... one has to escape south Florida to have that nice ride

Thanks as well, Ginger. I may use it if I don't move out of here.

Im thinking of riding over to collier county and doing janes scenic drive and a few other roads around the state parks this weekend. Can that be with street tires? I have heard there are some areas on those roads that jeeps have trouble with.

Riding my HD from the keys up to Asheville in a few weeks... Once I am north in Georgia I know some good roads but am at a loss from the keys to about atlanta. I have to days to make it up and was looking for some suggestions of non highway/slightly scenic routes to take?

A1A or US1 make a fairly scenic route up the east coast of florida, If you go that way another nice but short road is S Indian River drive between Stuart and FT Pierce.

Thanks for the info, It will go on the list of roads to try after new rubber is installed. Im kind of new to off road so it doesnt take much to make me fall over.

I would suggest you plan everything through state roads.

Old Cutler Rd is a nice road to take from Florida City to Coral Gables then you can take some state road that take you to the start of the route on post #5551 of this thread??
