Was on the Gulf Coast a few years ago, St Pete Beach, in the cities, be alert, very busy in the city, out of town better. On the Atlantic side, better riding for sure. Good luck what ever you do. Enjoy

I spend the month of March in Fort Myers for Red Soxs spring training games , lucky that my brother lives there and has a Sportster and a Honda VTX. So get to borrow the Honda and spend many days in the Everglades. Lots of great rides its like a early spring coming from RI

Thinking of taking my RK with me....how dangerous are the drivers? Any good roads down south Florida..should I? Or shouln't I take the bike?
I have done all the touristy stuff by car....
Thanks.....
Come on down winter is our best riding time here in South florida. Lots of back roads east of Fort Myers with very little traffic and the Everglades are beautiful, Riding around lake Okeehobee is ready nice lot of little towns. There are crazy drivers everywhere, it's no different than where you live. You have a blast here.

I trailer my Ultra Classic every year From central NY to Bonita Sorngs, Fl., not far south from you. Lots of good riding here in the winter and some good bike night events in both Fort Myers and Cape Coral. I'm here from late October until early April, did 3500 miles last season and only 1800 while home in NY for the summer. Check out the Florida Crew. Don't leave home without it!
