Have you gotten your lobster license and gone out to pick-up dinner off the ocean floor? Yes, that's right, you can get free food just by getting the lobster license & a mask/fins/snorkel, along w/a bully net & a 'tickle stick.' When you go swimming, those FL lobsters backpedal faster than a Tulsa tourist caught in a Patterson NJ alley at midnight!

After today ya gotta wait awhile to get 'em legally again.

Winding up school for the summer term, I'll try to get up to see you in-person after this coming week. Yes, this is a good place to be after living in the NE all those years. It's even better in Jan. when you go outside to feel the evening breeze, and return to your "Florida room" to watch the national weather news about another killer blizzard dumping feet of snow on your old stomping grounds! And, year-round riding! Just be defensive, and assume the other person is going to do something stupid. It happens constantly. Turning right from the left lane, turning left in-front of you (they being oncoming traffic), stopping dead in the middle of the street until they decide where they want to go, agressive drivers using their cars as lethal weapons, people pulling guns in traffic, people leaving their vehicles to assault you, all-this and more, if you ride/drive here long-enough.

I cleaned-up after them for many years. Now I teach others how to do that.

ANd now, "New Resident Orientation": if you don't like seafood, it's time to develop a taste for it. Here's a partial list you can start with:
http://www.palmbeachcounty.com/directory/Restaurants/Seafood/
This is by no means 'all-inclusive!'
Several good chains are Flanagan's, Legal Sea Foods, & Bonefish Grill, there are others.
One of my favorite restaurants is not on the list above, it's in Boynton Beach, on the water (Intracoastal Waterway) & is "Two Georges" http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/12/772687/restaurant/Miami/Two-Georges-Waterfront-Grille-Boynton-Beach
Lots of atmosphere & safe parking for the bikes.
ANother place not on the water but literally two minutes from Two Georges is Hurricane Alley. This is the kind of place you bring your out-of-town friends you care about to experience the funky side of FL cuisine. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/12/771515/restaurant/Miami/Hurricane-Alley-Boynton-Beach
The following article from the local weekly alternative paper (New Times, it comes out on Wed. I believe, free you get it at restaurants and shopping centers in little racks where it is stored for distribution, good for 'what to do' events for the coming weeks. Just ignore the escort ads and the pain clinic ads in the back pages) is a good one & it actually mentions the two restaurants I already recommended.
http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2010-05-20/restaurants/a-guide-to-south-florida-s-cheap-seafood-dives/2/

OK, your assignment is to study these places and to decide at which one we're gonna do the 'face-to-face' welcome to FL!

p.s.: lotsa unmarked cops, even w/out-of-state plates! You have 30 days to get your FL driver's license, auto insurance, and FL vehicle license once you decide to live here. And no, you can't take nine months to make-up your mind!

p.p.s.: no insurance required for FL motorcycles! No-kidding!

i PHILIP , I WILL CALL YOU OVER THE WEEK-END ! .. unk:

 

[COP RUNNER]

[Thevmaxrider]

Glad to hear that things are working out good for ya Tim!!! Lots of cops to run down in Florida!!! Seem to remember them lined up on the on ramp to the highway and one with a radar gun on the overpass. They LOVE their speed traps!!!!

 

[tugla]

Yep they sit with like 6-7 cars on the side of the road popping people. If your gonna run you have to out run all of them.

i think the more important question for CR will be, how many spikes do u have in stock?

Congratulations Tim , you will probably never look back. Po-Po likes for both wheels to be in contact with the pavement at all times . Severe penalties if you disagree. Keep an eye out for blue hair and white knuckles on the steering wheels' cagers in front of you. LOL :rofl_200:

Looking forward to driving down sometime soon to meet some of the Floridians.

Some of your state-wide neighbors will be coming up & through pretty soon via my city Atlanta, for the annual Tail of the Dragon trip ( N.C. / Tenn. border ) , August 25 - 28 . Some ride up , some trailer . Always a good time.
Look forward to meeting you.
