The Ninja is gassed up, and ready to go! This motorcycle gets about 300 miles to the tank, which holds 4.9 gallons of gas. Normally I only need to fill it up once a month for around $15.00 (A good thing in this day and age!) Read more about the Kawasaki Ninja 250 |
Here's a map of the route we took.We headed northwest then looped back around to the southeast. The radioactive "end of the road" symbol is from a place that was shut down due to DDT pesticide problems (at least that's what a sign said). |
Toxic area |
Of course we immediately crossed this fence and went for a closer look. |
View from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain towards lake Apopka. We are standing above everyone else in the entire state of Florida right now, and it feels pretty great! |
Anji exploring the wilderness (actually most of the place is a housing subdivision except for this field). Anji is quite an accomplished traditional artist. You can check out some of Anji's paintings if you're interested. |
The largest ant hill ever! I think the whole mountain is one giant ant hill. Look at the size of that ant! |
King of the hill! |
I found this slash in my tire when we got home. I guess I hit something sharp on the way. |
I'm glad this tire didn't blow out while we were on the bike. I went ahead and ordered a new set of Pirelli Sport Demons, which should be a huge improvement over the stock tires. |
The trip was almost exactly 90 miles from my garage, back to my garage. |

I wrote an article for Motorcycleroads.com about this trip, which goes into more detail about the road quality, and has a map with detailed directions. It's a cool site to find out where the good roads are. |
