    Gets to damn hot in Florida. My dad lives down there, between the heat and the damn love bugs it sucks. Just my opinion. The wife and I are South Carolina bound within the next 2 years.

    Yes FLA is hot and yes some idiot let some love bugs out at UF...but...from Oct 1 thru April 1...near perfect with a couple of chilly days !!! FLA holds as much as anyone would want to see and go, from the Theme Parks, to beaches, caves, forests and hunting and fishing till you get tired..Please stop banging FLA...your state, if someone were so inclined could find things equaling non appealing ... just sayin

    I've been to FL many times in the winter over the years, from stays of 2 weeks to 6 weeks. My favourite area is the St. Pete Beach area, stretching from Clearwater in the north to Sarasota in the south. It's not particularly expensive and quite laid back. Traffic does get bad from February on. There are lots of winter condo rentals right on the beach. You can have the Miami side. It's warmer over there (especially the ocean), but way too much congestion and nonsense for me from Ft. Lauderdale south.

    Love Bugs...

    Oh yeah - I remember those things...all over the front of my K5 Blazer.

    What's the best preventative for those sticking everywhere? Besides abstinence....

    You don't want to hear about the weather here in SoCal. Year round riding.
