Saw a couple of Lightings running around Jacksonville, anyone here? A red one and a black on Atlantic Blvd. Hit the dealership and got a mirror, lot of cash just to get that nut. Saw guys & girls riding all over and every type of bike. Found a Vespa dealer that's new from the last time I was in town! BUT what took the cake was on the trip home just west of Toleto, two BMW riders pulling back on I-80/90, it was about 20! heading into the sunset! THAT had to be a cold ride heated suit or not! I want to ride and the weatherman just posted a "Winter Storm Watch" for up to 9" of snow by tomorrow. Waiting on Spring. Bridy | ||

Yeah, but the trade off is curves. You can ride all year turning rounded tires into squares. | ||

Just remember, there are maybe 4 curves in the state, unless you visit Daytona during spring break, and the heat and humidity SUCKS most of the year and makes for an uncomfortable ride wearing leather or NOT!! | ||

No no no, as a Daytona resident, the worst part is not the heat or the humidity, its that the climate thins out your blood and anytime it drops below 60*F everyone freaks out and wear 6 sweat shirts, 3 pairs of pants and beanie. Only to peel it all back off by noon. | ||

actually after over 25 yrs in florida anything under 70 is cold and i don't take anything off unless i'm inside or above 70. | ||

Well I grew up in Jax and now am stuck in Indiana. All I can say is at least you can ride all year down there.  Here I get to back the bike out and let it run for 15-20 mins to get it from going sour from sitting a 1/4 of the year. And it just started to snow...again.  Maybe I can live on the beach!?!  | ||

Im moving to florida, as soon as they get some good mountains. | ||

I just got out of my in-ground pool. Of course, that was after I took a nice ride up A1A this afternoon. Mid 80's with sunny, blue skies!  | ||

I am seeing Georgia, Tenn or South Carolina in my future.... Still good climates, with a little more twistie action! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
the biggest reason why i'm dealing with the below 70 temps that i'm deffinitely not used to up here in greenville. yet! | ||

Suppose be around -21wc Wed. here. | ||

I live in Jax. It's been home to me for my entire 25 years on this earth. Now, all the math scholars out there can deduce that I have only been able to drive for 7. But my point is I wouldnt trade our so called "winter" for the twisties you have up north. When I say winter, I mean like 2-3 days of near freezing temps then I'm wearing sandals again. Now unless you live by the Dragon, then we can talk. But otherwise, it's killing me that I cant ride for just a few days, I couldnt imagine having to wait months. | ||

I did a seventeen year tour in and around Tampa. Would have stayed if not for the crime and over-running development and traffic, oh and I ended up with allergies. Ahhhh dooooo love riding in these here East Tennessee mountains. Sixty miles from the Dragon is just far enough to get warmed up as I get there. | ||

I'm just outside of Jax. My bike's been broke since last summer so the only riding I've done is on the Tourist Trophy video game  We actually have very few winter riders compared to the summer. Wimps. | ||

No battery tenders needed here.  Actually, their factory is near here. |
