Be sure to post on the "Florida Crew" section here on HDF. They are all a great bunch and you will surely enjoy riding with them.

I'm just south of Lakeland, maybe 10 miles. Get in touch with me once you get settled it if you want to go for a ride.

What happened to you moving to Oklahoma? Glad for you that it didn't pan out. I lived in Florida for 10.5 years. I miss it.

The employer and I just couldn't work out a deal we were both happy with. Didn't have that problem with the new gig in Florida. I'm glad now.
