| | Re: florida stinks!! Florida doesn't actually stink, but it does have an odd smell; a mixture of salt, sand, sulphur decaying vegetation and sawgrass...to me, it smells like home. Born and raised in south Florida. I checked with my brother, a former state trooper and Marian County deputy and he says the same thing Skyliner said. "Ride sensibly and obey all bike laws and you're in the clear. Ride careful and enjoy...and stop looking over your shoulder for 'The Man'

| | Re: florida stinks!! The statute is on the net- FL DMV. but takes some finding- No I think Florida is good- I asked a scooter shop owner inj Jacksonville who had a motorized bike in his window, and he said he didn't think I'd be bothered- in short test rides I wasn't, and saw a few bikes pass my apartment this Spring. When I move there permanently- I'm putting saddlebag baskets on and hoping I can save miles on my car. |

| | Re: florida stinks!! Hey John Grisham I live in South Jax Beach. I have a red and white Schwin Point Beach. If you see me go by stop me I'd like to talk bikes with you. I got a buddy of mine hooked on MBs. I've only heard of two other people at the beaches w/ MBs.
My bike is almost all stock. Upgraded airfilter, 36 tooth sprocket. That's it.
