I have been in Florida 23 years. Moved here from California and Ohio. The weather is great. The hotter it gets, the more Cody's Beer to drink. Riding motorcycles is great and Florida is biker friendly. Fishing is fantastic. We have Salt and Fresh water. We have no State Income tax. Homeowners insurance is cheap along with kind of inexpensive car insurance. Vehicle registration is cheap and cars don't rust out. The roads are smooth and don't have chuck holes like up North. We wear shorts 12 months a year and ride around with the top down 12 months also. I could go on and on but this State is Great! .........The Villages makes it just that much better!
