Touring Florida
Hey Guys and Gals,
Have a few questions about the riding in Florida. Getting ready to make the move there. Not disappointed by any means. Much warmer, less clothes on the ladies, etc. But the roads are also much much busier.
Always driven in a cager on 75 north/south, 41 north/south, etc. These roads would be nuts on a motorcycle no doubt. Going to be living just north of tampa and looking for some good backroad riding etc. Have checked the sites that have scenic routes like motorcycleroads.us. But wanted some info from the good local people?
Appreciate the feedback!

There is actually a "Florida Crew" board on this forum.
You might want to check them out as well.

There are actually alot of nice two-lane back roads here and some good riding. Done some riding with the Florida Crew as well and they are a great group of folks and there is a true wealth of information there to point you in the right direction. South Dakota to Tampa, Air Force?
