When it comes to others on the road, it's no better or worse in FL than anywhere else.

"Florida Ice" (that slick residue right after a rain) catches folk for a surprise - cagers and bikers. Also, summertime heat coming off the road is more intense, so proper hydration and road glare are more of a consideration than in other locales. Add to that, for air-cooled bikes it can be more of a concern to be stuck in long-term traffic jams.

While those may be the negatives, the positives include a long-time (11 month, 3 1/2 week) riding season (I avoid 4th of July) and many places to visit. Bike Week and Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach have to be seen to be appreciated.

Keep the rubber side down....
