A lot depends on how passionate you are about riding, how long you are down here, and what other interests you have. There are a lot of things to do down here and if this is your first time here my initial thought would be to leave the bike at home. Distracted driving is a problem everywhere and I don't find Florida to be much worse in this regard. I am an avid motorcyclist and vigilant in paying attention no matter where I ride and I have found plenty of decent areas to ride nearby. I don't ride as much here as I do up north mainly due to so many other things to do in The Villages.
Be careful in the roundabouts, while riding or driving, as far too many folks have no concept on how to correctly navigate them. The number of folks turning left from the right lane is staggering.
