Croom A Coochee

The latest addition to Florida Motorcycle Destinations is Croom A Coochee. There's actually a town on this loop called Croom A Coochee and, believe it or not, that town has its very own page in the Urban Dictionary!


On of the more enjoyable loops in the Travel Blog. GPX routing included as always. Give it a try!

The Wild Bear Safari

 The Wild Bear Safari is almost here.

Three weeks out...

This year the ride is based in Cocoa Beach, a ways south from past base camps in Samsula. Looking forward to see Apollo's new digs.

Hockey Puck Mod

 The side stand on my 2002 Kawasaki KL250 (Super Sherpa) is about two inches (maybe more) too short. On the stand, it leans over too far to the point that it almost falls on itself. During the TransFlorida a couple weeks ago, I actually pulled it over on the side-stand side during a dismount at a gas stop when my leg got caught up on the tail bag I was running. 

Some good advice from some of the Sherpa Group Members was to bolt a hockey puck on the sidestand. Easy enough. Stands taller. Enough? We'll see at the Wild Bear Safari in kicking off in three weeks.


Oh, and hockey pucks are 'spensive. I guess they're like good baseballs, a sport I know much better; yeah, they're 'spensive too. Literally...this puck I got on Amazon was a cheap "practice" puck!
