We moved away to ride motorcycles, then this happened. Join me on today's adventure as we embark on a spontaneous journey through various parts of Florida, seeking warmth and exploration. In this vlog, we start the day with a mission to find some coffee and end up discovering the charming city of Tavares, just above Lake Dora, with its sea planes and beach bars. Along the way, we stumble upon historic walking places and enjoy a surprise find at Nautilus Coffee.
As the day unfolds, I share some candid thoughts on adjusting to the Snowbird lifestyle, coping with the colder weather, and the challenges of creating content on the road. Jordan and I discuss our differing perspectives on the Snowbird experience, touching upon the need for space and projects. The video takes a turn as we face the realities of finding campgrounds during the peak season and the costs involved.
Amidst the challenges, we find solace in the beauty of our surroundings, the warmth of the sun, and the joy of being back on my Harley-Davidson Dyna. Join me for a ride to Lake Harris Hideaway, one of my favorite spots, where I reflect on the changing dynamics of RU-vid, the pressures of content creation, and the evolving nature of my channel.
Stick around to witness breathtaking views, a bit of wildlife spotting, and my thoughts on the current state of motorcycle camping. I share some exciting news about securing a place to stay for the next couple of months in Florida, easing some of the anxieties and allowing me to focus on creating more meaningful content for you.
Thank you for being a part of this journey on two wheels, and if you haven't already, consider subscribing to stay updated on all things motorcycle and lifestyle. Your support means the world to me, and I can't wait to bring you along on the next adventure. Until then, ride safe and stay tuned for more! 🏍️✨ #MotorcycleAdventure #SnowbirdLife #ExploreFlorida

I'm sharing my old person snowbird wisdom. 1. If I can't wear shorts and sandals, I'm too far north. 2. You don't have to shovel boredom. 3. Texas is just as warm, and campsites can be found for 1/2 to a 1/3 of Florida prices. 4. Daytona bike week isn't to far off, so there's something to look forward to seeing.

@tinarowland4120 6 месяцев назад

Was thinking " too far north" as well

@mikeb8342 5 месяцев назад

DFW isn't "just as warm..... maybe Houston. I always say "You don't have to shovel humidity," as people try and say Florida summer is unbearable. We're moving this year (from MN).

@FWMCBigFoot 5 месяцев назад

@mikeb8342 Spoiler alert, there's more to Texas than just Dallas/Fort Worth. I'm in Corpus Christi, and it's warmer than northern Florida, and comparable to parts of central Florida. Good luck with your move. Lucky you.

@mikeb8342 5 месяцев назад

@FWMCBigFoot so you're comparing a city even further south than Houston. Of course that's warmer than Jacksonville.... so is Miami and Naples. PS.... I spent a weekend in your neck of the woods (2006?).... nice place.

Future snowbird hopefully here, thanks for the knowledge drop!

@eddcurry501 6 месяцев назад

OMG. I’ve ridden to work this year in 32* to up to 55*. Cold is a frame of mind. Central Texas says hello; and get out, layer up, and ride.

@Sixbears 6 месяцев назад

My wife and I did the FL snowbird thing for about 20 years. We did everything from tent camping to van life to living on sailboats. In recent years we've been wintering home in NH -and it's been fine. The constant search for a good economical place to stay can be exhausting and stressful. Doesn't mean we won't snowbird again, but for now I don't miss it.

@milrond6943 6 месяцев назад

Yeah I live in Sunapee NH / New London......wintering here is amazing if you allow yourself the peace and quiet :)

@aragos32727 6 месяцев назад

Not going to lie the prices have skyrocketed. Including RV sites. What you used to be able to get for $250 a month is now looking like $650 on up

@Axlenut 3 месяца назад

Anything in Florida is not affordable and quite honestly I've been here 35 years and absolutely hate it here

@cwTheDrummist 6 месяцев назад

One of the things I appreciate the most about you is that, along with the glorious parts of everything you do, you show the dark side and challenging times. Camping can be hard. Traveling by motorcycle can be brutal. Snowbirding can be boring. I am looking forward to learning with you guys. Cheers!

@Notandanafn1 6 месяцев назад

totally agree, I love the honesty of her videos. Its fun to watch because its authentic.

@boogiemorgan 6 месяцев назад

My wife and I traveled the USA, every year, and I can assure you, to us, none of the other states come close to Florida, my family moved here in 1846! Usually the wheather is beautiful, I ride my Harley almost year round, this is very strange weather this year! Welcome to Florida, enjoy!

@Ride_0n 6 месяцев назад

It's a learning process. Next year, you know what to do w/re booking and stuff. You're both sharp people, you learn fast. It looks like you're managing to overcome the issues this time, which is great. You've also learned to pack some warm gear on any long trip. Even to FL. A liner, some gloves... that's not much room. Not sure if Appa has it, I'm pretty sure Daisy does, but heated grips on your Dyna might be worth considering. They aren't cheap, especially with install, but once you've had heated grips, you will always want them. It sure is nice to be able to comfortably operate the controls. They've been practically standard on BMWs for decades, which is how I discovered them. Lookin foward to seeing more videos of Snowbird Jess.

@johnschmidt7099 6 месяцев назад

In AZ we ride 12 months out of the year. When it gets too hot in the Valley of the Sun we head north to the high country. While we don't have the ocean of the gulf, we do have plenty of lakes with amazing places to eat. Here's a piece of trivia. Arizona has more boats per capita than any other state. From the Valley it's a nice ride to Puerto Penasco, Mexico, better known as Rocky Point. You would love bike week there in November. We have snowbirds who live in the Valley in the winter and northern AZ in the summer. And the RV parks are plentiful and have spaces available. Just some food for thought for the future.

@mattblackburn7030 6 месяцев назад

Being from Michigan online the Lake Harrison Hideaway. Haven't been in a couple years. Found a few good bike lights on the Leesburg area a couple years ago as well. Made some good friends at the Warehouse there as well. There should be a great bike event coming up too that supports local vets, and the time I rode it they were providing a house for a vet that needed a place.

@tomnolan3219 6 месяцев назад

dont get discouraged down here in fl our first year was boring and as you meet people and make friends it gets better and better, now i have friends that ride and we enjoy every day and we stay very busy , just so you know we look for you guys in our travels ,i dont know were you are but we look for you when we ride , safe travels and keep on doing your thing

@kevinoneill1534 6 месяцев назад

Lived in Apopka for 20 years, Lake Harris Hideaway was always a regular stop. Always a cool vibe with cold beer and good food.

@mrruss1103 5 месяцев назад

I care Jess! You do you. I'll keep my eyes out for your videos when you're ready. I have sons around your age and I feel it's been a treat to watch you navigate your way through this thing we call life. Just a word if I could.... there is a difference between taking time to challenge yourself to look for a deeper clarity within and questioning yourself. These moments of looking for deeper clarity is a great time of growth, like rings in a tree and we all must do so to grow. Questioning yourself on the other hand is self defeating. Embrace the former, let the latter go. I feel honored to watch you grow your way through life. Thank you for sharing it all. I keep my wife up to date on how you're doing. Trust yourself Jess... I do!!!!

@OSUalum41 6 месяцев назад

January in Florida is a roll of the dice. It's way better than Ohio, but unless you're in the southern part of the state, it probably ain't gonna be 80 every day.

@soeastbiker 6 месяцев назад

I used to live in Eustis. Between there and highway 40 to the North you have the Ocala National Forest and all kinds of hidden, blue ponds way back off each side of highway 19 down sand roads Jordan might dig riding.

@ASMRrides 6 месяцев назад

Camping costs are ridiculously priced these days. You really need to plan out 6 months in advance to book payed sites. Now you know for next year. If you want to save money, you'll need to figure out boondocking for a week or more at a time. With enough solar and batteries, it can work! Currently, I can make it 2 weeks comfortably in my toy hauler before water becomes a issue. Hope you can continue to enjoy the snowbird life.

@user-nk4zg6ev6n 4 месяца назад

We wanted to buy a small RV and go camping , but I don't have any space to park it at my home , then just the Expense to put it in storage , the cost of keeping it up for repairs , the cost of going to these camping sites . I say NO now . We rather go any where and rent a home VRBO , so much better , and cheaper , we travel now all the time and don't have to worry about anything .

@leedanielson7452 6 месяцев назад

75 and mostly sunny here today in Avon Park, Florida... but supposedly lots of possible heavy rain tomorrow, which is Saturday... We are having kind of a strange winter here...cooler than normal and more cloudy than normal and more rain than normal. And next Tuesday possible severe weather also!!! They say it's because of El Nino ....Loved it Jess! ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@9milsOn2wheels 6 месяцев назад

It's still get cold in Florida, I remember riding to work, having to stop 5 or 6 times at convenient stores and hug a cup of coffee, to defrost my hands and face.

@rudyv1972 6 месяцев назад

Every lifestyle change has a learning curve. I hope you get more time to get out to ride. Also thank you so much for recommending Flying Eyes. I'd never heard of them until I watched one of your earlier videos. I got my Rx glasses yesterday. Very very nice, can't wait to ride with them hopefully by late March/Early September.

@brianw3499 6 месяцев назад

I'm from Cuyahoga falls,ohio born and raised,I'm 41.I've been living in the Sarasota area for the last 12 years. After 12 years of riding down here its pretty boring overall. It's super hot, almost unbearable during the summer, all other months aren't to bad, and you can ride year round. Its just becoming entirely to crowded and its extremely dangerous to ride down here. And the cost of living forget it you get nothing for your money. With that said Tennessee, NC,SC is where I'm looking to move. Florida is just hot and flat, there are some decent country roads more north but thats it. I need some hills,valleys,rivers..ect. Good luck to ya'll and keep up the great content.....🤙🤙

@FFL-vg9ro 6 месяцев назад

Not that this fits your exact lifestyle - but food for thought: My retired brother in AZ works two 6-hour shifts a week in guest services at a local golf course. With tips, he gets about $1000 a month. That covers the monthly campsite rental, with cash left over. Plus discounted meals at the restaurant, and a chance to make new friends and local contacts.

@susannoland7385 6 месяцев назад

Jess, try Texas, sun is shining and will be 61 today! Camp sites are so much more affordable. Best of luck to both of you, I enjoy your videos!

@ricksmith1842 6 месяцев назад

Been riding with a local the past 4 winters in central Fla. He’s taken us on some fantastic curved tree covered rides. We usually end up at a scenic restaurant on the way with great reasonably priced food. January has always been like Ohios April … kind of a weather roller coaster. Don’t give up. It only gets better!!

@Backroadsbehindhdbars 6 месяцев назад

Do some riding through Ocala horse country roads are beautiful.

@FFL-vg9ro 6 месяцев назад

Advanblack now makes the Low Rider ST fairing for Dyna’s. That would be a fun project for Jordan. In fact, that’s one of my AZ snowbird projects this winter, on a 2014 Dyna Switchback. I bet you could get one comp’d from Advanblack if you featured the build in videos, and of course we’d see you riding the Dyna forever into the future. Plan B, Jordan could wrench on all the Shadetree bikes with “issues” 😂😂

@darkiee69 6 месяцев назад

Then he'll be there 'til next winter. 😁

@nicholaskalogris9985 6 месяцев назад

@Nerdariostomp69420 6 месяцев назад

@PappyfromtheKeys 6 месяцев назад

Hey there again! Good to see you down this way for the season. You are in my neck of the woods for sure. Mt. Dora/Lake Dora is named after my great great grandmother, Dora Drawdy. We do have excellent riding here and lots more roads for you to discover. Since you may be down here in the month of March I would recommend you attend the country's largest antique boat show and festival. It is put on by the Sunnyland chapter of the Antique and classic boat society.. some of the premier antique boats in the country will be on display and running all along the waterfront and docks in front of Puddle Jumpers where you ate lunch. The smell of fresh varnish and mahogany is intoxicating. The show is huge and any gear head from any walk of life will love it. It will be 3/21-3/24 this year. Head over to Sleepy Hollow in Floral City for lunch on a weekend while here as well. On the water and lots of bikes and air boats there plus sometimes good Southern Rock bands.

@joelbrittenour8197 6 месяцев назад

I live in North Idaho. AS long as the roads are clear I ride even in the 40's. Gotta have the right gear, heated gloves a must. Beautiful roads and views here. My 2 Honda's one's 41 years old other one is 22 years old. I do all my own maintenance . I'm 65 ride on.

@stlchance 6 месяцев назад

I'm not surprised that you're having problems with finding an affordable full service RV campground in Florida in January and February. Between the snowbirds, the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the Daytona 500 (and all the related short track racing around Florida before and after), several music festivals, and Daytona Bike Week, I'm sure that the reservations fill up quickly.

@NYCuda 6 месяцев назад

Welcome to FL. you only have to deal with cold from mid December until February. Down here, when it's under 50 we either don't ride or have to put chaps on. Remember our humidity makes it feel colder than it is in the "winter".

@joeseal3069 6 месяцев назад

@jackswisher3171 6 месяцев назад

Several of us still commute in southern Oregon. It's been in the 30s at sunrise but warming into the 40s mid-afternoon. No overnight trips, but I still get in 40 miles and dress for it. TW 200, staying on the secondary roads, looking forward to Spring weather in the 50s and 60s. Feeling envious of your beautiful weather in Florida.

@davidshaffer4649 6 месяцев назад

Love seeing no snow on the ground.i thought moving south from western pa would be the life.being a trucker I have seen the whole country in all the seasons.but,at some strange point in my life I realized there is nothing better than a 40 degree day when it is 20 now,long as the roads are clean.my absolute favorite day of the year is when I am riding down the road and smell the 1st fresh cut lawn,you know something good is headed your way.b safe!

@KeViNMCMXXCIX 6 месяцев назад

Glad you 3 are enjoying the snowbird, though not all as great as of yet as you thought it would be. But as mentioned, you are new to this so boredom will strike sometimes. It happens. Sometimes you just want to stay close to the Hauler, embrace those days as well and enjoy the weather and each other. And on nice days you can venture out and see more stuff when you feel like doing so. ☀ You'll find your way soon and I do hope for Jordan as well he'll be able to make his itch go away and not want to rather be in the garage working on a project, lol. Don't mean it in a bad way at all of course! 😄I know how it is to want something to do and see more use of the time compared then doing what he's doing now. The area looks good tho! Looking forward seeing any video as always.

i have been watching your video's for quite a while now(didn't realize i hadn't subbed), when you did the camping, bike week, shade tree surgeon, i live in Ocala, fl. i only have my Rebel 500, (i am 68 and skinny)so i have to ride the bike to work, stores, etc. this winter dare i say, sucks! we joke about the snow birds forgot to close the door on their way down here. but i have to wear shirt thermals, sweat shirt, heavy riding jacket, and i need warmer gloves. well, i am rambling, welcome to Florida, for the winter, i did sub, and just do what you can on the video drops, y'all are pretty cool folk. oh yeah, i don't drink anymore, so bars are strange places to me lately. until next time be safe.

@erich.4305 6 месяцев назад

this was fun.I appreicate how candid you are with the ups and downs of your first snow bird experience. While I love riding motorcycles and I am in New England I have no desire to snow bird. I am enjoying watching your experience and attempt to pursue the winter you prefer. Peace and ride safe. By the way I am drinking my coffee and preparing to snow blow my driveway. Believe it or not I enjoy that . After 20 years of working around the clock as a snow plow driver I love being at home during a snow storm, even though I still can't ride my motorcycle. Peace.

If you are looking for old go check out St. Augustine, its the oldest city in America. Its an incredible city with such a rich history and since its on the coast it will be a little warmer than central Florida. But yes it has been a little colder this year than previous years. PS If Jordan is really looking to work on bikes you can send him down to my house and he can work on mine 😆

21 Years ago we spent our honeymoon in Mount Dora at the Famous Lakeside Inn , Taveres ,Howy in the hills and Eustis is nice . we use to go up there every month up till May , after that its too Hot , there are so many great motorcycles roads in Orange and Lake County . The famous ride is Sugar loaf Mountain , the 2nd Highest Elevation in Fla east of the Mississippi river , Those small towns gotten exspensive and alot of California people have moved there . Been in FL for 71 years and seened it grow , its overcrowded now and can't take the Humid and Hot weather 9 months out of the year .

What did I do on cold days? There's plenty of bars with great views of the water :) I moved to N Georgia to ride twisties in the mountains because there are NO twistie roads in Florida.... there are only so many beach roads you can ride along before it gets old.

@richardjreidii 6 месяцев назад

As a Floridian, you have made one of the classic blunders. First, you’re still too far north, you need to head down to Naples, in order to find the warm. You have come to the state during the month and which it is most visited insuring that prices will be sky high. Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona are equally as warm and much less expensive. When you take into consideration the fact that you’re looking to ride your motorcycles, access to the water is actually undesirable. All it does is increase the price. Also, you may have noticed that there aren’t a lot of hills in Florida. I spent 20 years in Fort Myers and the only curves I could enjoy were the on-ramps.

@XenaTheQuadCamBikah 6 месяцев назад

How’s your four legged friend doing in the RV? Hope she’s adjusting ok especially when she’s alone there. I remember last year my friends who snowbird were annoyed it was colder in Ocala than it was here in Massachusetts. Hope the weather flips for you soon! Enjoy! ✌️

@StopDeportingVeterans 6 месяцев назад

If you haven’t already, head north on 441 and swing by Gator Harley. They are a great group of folks. About 3 miles north of there right after the 441/27 merge, try Ramshackle Cafe (left side past Griffin light). If you like wings, get the medium grilled ones. And the Mexican burger is also good, make sure to ask for the fries to be seasoned. Camping- check with Bikers Sleep for Cheap in Leesburg and Windy Acres Bikefest Camping in Fruitland Park (Not sure if they are open year round). If you are sticking for Bike Week in Daytona, there is great camping around Ormond by the Sea. You are only 90 mins away, so staying with your current spot works too. Hope this helps if you are looking for it.

@wb4514 6 месяцев назад

If you are now a year-round resident, you aren't a snowbird but a transplant. Snowbirds only winter here and go back to wherever in the spring. I'm a Buckeye transplant myself. ( Toledo ). Been here 13 years.

Love Tavares area, we’ll be there in a few weeks. I like those towns there, we stay in Astatula at the end of our January Snowbird trip. To me, that area of FL is a well kept secret.

This will make you feel better, it is currently -3 degrees air temperature and -22 degrees with wind chill here in Bismarck ND. It isn't supposed to get any warmer over the next couple of days. Enjoy Florida. It will warm up there.

@L8again902 6 месяцев назад

Hope it warms up for you. It's around 28F where I'm at, so I'm a little jealous.

That's why I am waiting till near the end of February to head to south Carolina. Gotta warm up soon. Big snow storm happening this weekend. In the northeast.

So good to see you two! Too bad about the campgrounds being so booked. Ugh. Was thinking about Jordan missing his tinkering. Are there any dealers around that he could hook into there that might be open to letting him do some stuff that he's certainly qualified to do? Just a thought. Maybe just a couple of hours here and there would be helpful to him. Who wouldn't want to have a good tinker guy around! Especially when he knows what he's doing! If I had a shop, I know I'd scoop him up fast. Thanks for the info on the cons of being new at these post covid times and making the most of snowbird travel. Nice ride! I'm like you, where are the gators?!!! Hope it warms up a bit so they'll come out to play. 😄

I've spent some time this year in Cabo San Lucas . Weather great! Reasonable costs.

New to the channel, welcome to my home at state where we ride year round!! Look forward to your videos from Sunshine State, and if you get a chance to get to St. Augustine, we have a few camp grounds and great Florida living! Along with a large motorcycle. community.

I have lived the coast lines most of my life and I see where you are coming from struggling to find spaces to stay. I have always made friends easily before coming to certain places because I am a radio operator also and try my best to get some prime locations. You are going to start having some warmer weather there in the middle of February when the winter storms start staying higher in Siberia. and if you are really lucky, the warm currents will start up that way. I Live in South Texas where todays high was in the 60° but it did get very windy now toward the evening. Take care Snowbirds and enjoy the ride.

@charliehopkins1735 6 месяцев назад

Feel bad for Jordan, but don't complain when you have no snow and can be out riding your bike. Enjoy it as much as you can. (from prairie cold in Canada, LOL)

@Wildturkey10121 6 месяцев назад

Jess, I live in Texas and just for a day trip you have to plan for near freezing to 70 in the same day. Down to about 30 or so I'm good with my leathers (winter riding jacket and chaps) I use a hoody underneath and wear my winter gloves (nothing I own is heated), and my full faced LS2 modular. Below 30 I'd put on some thermal pants under my jeans.When it warms up in the afternoon I pull off the jacket and chaps and put on my vest to cut the wind, up to about 55 I continue to wear my gauntlets to keep the wind out of my sleeves. In my opinion that is all I need, you must have become spoiled with all your fancy modern gear....;P

Pull that camper to Tampa, get Jordan in Josh's garage. Chey has a shovel to put together. The collab could make them both huge.

@AndrewB416 6 месяцев назад

I'm in Niagara region up in Canada (not far from Ohio). It has been super warm up here. Mid 30s most of the time. It has hit the 50s a couple of times. Never been like this in 40 years for me living in Southern Ontario.

@wildwindwoman 6 месяцев назад

We like I've said previously just gotten a toyhauler. We live here in Central Florida and been researching camping places and have found really reasonable and free camping but it's all boondocking. We went ahead and got a 2500 generator and will do our second boondock next weekend.

@MrDoyle07 6 месяцев назад

You succeeded in making me feel for your guy’s woes. I have a gift, it consists of I love the ride and I love working on them too. But, I only like working on them when it’s warm and I am in my element ‘with’ my tools. I get all out of sorts when I am without my tools and I need to work on them… …and I ‘need’ to work on them. That’s a round about way of saying that I definitely know what Jordan is dealing with. I watch you tube ditties of people doing that. It helps a little during Michigan winters.

@scottdalrymple1716 6 месяцев назад

Send Jordan over to Blockhead or Shadetree, they have plenty of things he could work on.

@MrPAULONEAL 6 месяцев назад

Go to St Augustine if you want to see historic.

@mikesblkmstngblltt 6 месяцев назад

Just enjoy the cool weather, it will warm up soon enough.

The beginning of the video gives the impression you're looking for things to do. Not sure how far you are from Ft. Myers but I visited Thomas Eddison's and Henry Ford's homes there a couple of years ago and thought they were great. I recommend going there if you can. Also, I live in Ohio and it's cold and the roads are covered in salt. Stay in Florida.

If you've not already checked them out, here are a couple other spots in Central FL that are biker friendly. Rock Springs Bar & Grill in Apopka Black Hammock & Lazy Gator Bar - Oviedo The Oasis - Sorento JJ's Lounge - Sorrento Jolly Gator Fish Camp - Geneva 3 Bannanas - Crescent City Cherry Pocket Steak & Seafood - Lake Wales. This one is a little further, but we'll worth it.
