Girl Meets World On A Yamaha FZ-07 Part 7: The Sunshine State

Dirt roads and bear boxes. Is this what Florida is really like?

This picture kind of made up for the Trauma. But for real, what’s with all the dirt roads, Florida?!©Motorcyclist

Tiff and I met at the track, where she races her Ninja 250 with more enjoyment and positivity than anyone else on the grid. When Tiffani got word that she’d be getting laid off from her job in Los Angeles, she didn’t fret. In typical ultra-optimistic Tiff style, she saw it as an opportunity to hit the road on her newly acquired Yamaha FZ-07. What follows are Tiffani’s reports from the road, originally posted for her friends on Facebook but shared here with her permission for all to enjoy. — Ari Henning

Florida! I finally made it to the last state before the Atlantic Ocean. After crossing the Florida state line, with over half the day already gone, I headed down toward the Ocala National Forest figuring there would be an opportunity for some camping. After a couple wrong turns (one of which took me down 4 miles of dirt roads in an OHV park before I finally accepted I was lost and turned around), I found a spot at a little campground in the woods.

An accidental trip through an OHV park let me get a little more confident on the FZ on dirt roads.©Motorcyclist
High marks for Ocala for being unique, less high marks for reminding me of all the things that make me feel like a sissy while traveling solo.©Motorcyclist
