Hello everyone, another new guy here. The name is Christian, I am 24, and I live on the West Coast of Florida between Tampa and Naples. I have three "bikes" so to speak:
2006 Yamaha Vino 125 (scooter)
1981 Honda CX500 Custom
2006 Suzuki SV650S
I just started riding again so to speak and am looking forward to looking around and hanging out on the forums. For some reason I have found it hard to find decent local riders.

Don't forget to check or post in the Florida local forum. Chances are there will be someone from your area on here.

Maybe I should have noticed the local forums...
Here are pictures of the bikes/scooter:

CX500C:
Vino 125 Classic:
Florida weather is as usual - 90/78 with 50-70% chance of T-storms everyday. It seems like the rest of the nation is burning up lately.
I run a small palm tree business here, and have to go to Miami often, across the Everglades. I figured the SV would be a fun bike to shoot across Alligator Alley with.
Vermillion - sorry to see you had your bigger GSXR stolen. I was looking at a GSXR600 before I bought the SV - I just couldn't afford the insurance (even though you don't need it in FL).

nice rides man!
hmmm... i would think that insurance rates would be cheaper there since it's not required by law. i guess not.

Welcome. I am jealous of your candy red CX500. I have that crappy teal and black color. As if that bike isn't ugly enough!
