Florida, Love It Or Leave It!!!

I like riding in mud and sand, in hot nasty humid weather with lots of mosquitos,and getting stuck in traffic in the Florida Keys for hours on my motorcycle, that's why I ride and live in FLORIDA...There is no place like it.

FLORIDA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!

And if you are tempted to slip around the line of cars in that lovely traffic, there is a cop on a HD hiding in waiting to give you a ticket. I rode all the way across the USA from CA to the Keys and got nabbed trying to stop my air cooled bike overheating.

Welcome to Florida! (and sign here for the ticket).

i couldn't agree more. in fact, i wish a lot of these people would leave. if things are so much better where you came from, go back.

i'd rather live here than anyplace else.

Wife and I want out of Orlando into the Country. We were thinking of moving to the Ozarks until the ice storms this winter.
I'm thinking maybe near Osceola NF or Apalachicola NF is a better choice.

Ozarks are nice, however, google new madrid fault. I hate quakes, take a hurricane any day over a quake!

North FL is great and no state inc tax!
