It's a warm day down here. I have been stuck at home, but I was walking around my property with just some shorts on. I would guess high 70's.

Never any problems at all. Unless you're doing something to really make yourself stand out I dont think they pay any attention to us. Just keep the speed down to a reasonable level like any other vehicle, that will always be something they'll hit you up for.

It was a great place in the '60's and '70's. Now days when I visit it's way too crowded for me and too many and high taxes, fees and rules. On the other hand, North Central Florida, No state income tax, friendly country folks, nice country roads, little traffic, and we can carry guns.

never gotten a ticket on any of the 5 bikes I've owned over 20+ years.

Weather rocks. Roads suck due to too many people.

Stay away from Orange, CA is my only caveat.

Reason I asked and posted this was, here in my area seems like everyday there's another group trying to make another law or ordinance against bikers. Cops are looking for revenue and hassling allot more than usual.

the main purpose of the police is revenue generation. does that happen in SoCal? Hell yes it does and CA is sliding down hill steadily, financially speaking. The cops are out writing more tickets. That system sees citizens as a checkbook. No different anywhere else, but maybe more prevalent in certain areas.

Some day people will step up and put the LE system in check. Maybe. Probably not.
