Hello Neal038 welcome to this friendly and informative site. That’s a fine looking bike and there is no reason other than bad weather to hold you back from riding. I used to winter in the Hollywood area, but recently bought in The Villages, and do plan on riding there as much as I can. The summer weather can be very hot, but the bike will operate just fine. Just remember to ride responsibly and safe, and good luck. Send along some photos of your travels.
