First time carving foam. After I'm satisfied I'll fiberglass it!

Better check the zoning code for FL wherever you choose to begin business. Start here if you're looking in the Orange County FL area: https://www.municode.com/library/fl...deId=ORCOCO_CH38ZO_ARTIVZODIESZOMA_S38-77USTA
Ask for a zoning determination letter (ZDL) from the municipality or the county if it's unincorporated. Be aware you may not be able to use the space you find for your intended use(es). Don't think you can get permitted for one thing and do whatever you want. Speak to the local government, get the ZDL. Be sure you have the necessary permits, inspections, and other paperwork to avoid not being able to do exactly what you want. Normally, a landlord will provide you with a list of permitted uses according to the local government, but get the ZDL to ensure your uses are allowed. There are separate permits and inspections for things like 'hot work' (oxy/acetylene use, or other welding/cutting) , wrecking yard operation, vehicle repairs, paint booth, etc. Be sure you get recognition and approval for all uses for the location you find.
What's called elsewhere a 'business license' is called a 'business tax receipt' in FL.
Sounds like too much of a hassle, will look elsewhere.
Unfortunately, FL has surpassed NY as the 3rd most-populous state after CA & TX. With that comes regulation. Unless you decided to have a largely internet-based business and were able to locate in one of the more-rural areas of FL (there are plenty of those) where there wasn't a city, just a county government, then you are going to find the regulation of businesses is the law of the land. Anywhere you go, you need to ensure that your business plan is going to be allowed by the local authority having jurisdiction. Get it in writing before you spend any $$$ on a lease or property purchase, and don't rely on a landlord to provide you with the most up-to-date info.
The only fault I see with this is that it does not take into consideration the weight of a rider. There will be a certain amount of sag in the suspension, depending on the rider. These motorcycle companies set up the bikes around the average adult male, and when you are short and rather light, some bikes that the simulator says I could flat foot, such as the Triumph Speed Triple, I would not be able to get it off the sidestand while sitting on it. My legs just are not long enough, and my body does not have enough weight to it to compress the suspension as much as a heavier rider would.
That would be a good research tool for a new owner. I sat on a FZ09 the other day which felt like a toy in comparison to my Vmax. It would be interesting to ride one to see how the ergonomics play out.
I just got a leather shirt in the mail, its similar to the Xelement version but just a bit lighter, the Leatherup version is heavier, more like a light jacket, but it looks like a combination of all winter idleness and my shoulder work outs has increased my size, so i cannot wear XL shirts.Not troubled w/that here!:biglaugh:
