Default FL riding

As I've gotten older my riding preferences have changed
a lot.I am really tired of curvy mountain road riding.I now
much prefer the nice straight roads in FL.It is nice to ride
so much more relaxed cruising at a decent speed.You can
usually see what's coming at you & not have to worry about
the fool you are about to meet on the wrong side of the road
in the next curve.Hope to retire there in a couple more years.
Now if I can only figure out how to convince mama.You guys
definitely have the best riding around.

Hell Yea, come ride the FL Dragon, 318 miles with 11 curves.
Where boredom can become your biggest enemy, right after all the blue-hairs that can't see you.

Lol, most twisting you'll do is getting around the nuts in cages.

I agree with Miami. Nice to see someone not bitching about my home state. Yea it is hot sometime. Yea the coast is full of blue hairs. Yea the middle of the state is full of bugs. Yea it rains any where any time. But all this is outweighed by the year round ride. Hell yea!

The ones that bitch about my birthplace can just get the hell out if they hate it that much.

+1 on that Mike. I may not have been born here, but its my adopted state. I have an ex-wife because I wouldn't move out of it.
