New rider in North Florida.

[TRUCKDRIVER]

Just wanted to say hello. Bought a 2000 ZX12R last week and looking forward to doing a lot of riding soon. As you might suspect from my username I do a lot of traveling already. And you would be correct. About 100K a year. I look forward to meeting up with some fellow riders in this area. I live in High Springs. Here is a link to some pic's of my new ride. https://picasaweb.google.com/Floridaheavyhaul/2000ZX12R?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLW-no7I2Ne5bw&feat=directlink I plan on doing some touring mods to the bike. Would welcome any advice. Ride safe.

If you venture north for some twisties, give me a shout. we're usually running around N.GA, E.TN, and W.NC on the weekends.
 As far as advice, my first addition was a radar detector!

Welcome. What do you do far a living?

I am going to assume that your question is an honest attempt to ascertain how I managed to earn the funds to purchase such an awesome ride. Basically I have this really BIG truck that is attached to a really BIG trailer. Together they have 8 axles. I navigate this contraption to various businesses across the entire 48 contiguous states. (57 if your last name is Obama) Once I arrive at said business establishment, I separate the two vehicles I arrived in and drive a large piece of equipment that the aforementioned business needs to have relocated to a different part of the country onto the deck of the trailer that I pulled to the business. I then secure the piece of equipment with chains and ratchet binders. Then I navigate the Interstate highway system of the United States and deliver said piece of equipment to a different business. Where upon I reverse the loading process and leave the equipment at its new location. I do this repeatedly. And have been doing this process for many years now. I hope this answers your question. If not, suffice it to say that I am a direct reflection of my username. thanks for your interest.  

[TRUCKDRIVER]

Thanks eFn.... Will do that.

Actually I am just a sarcastic wise ass. Welcome once again.

I just looked at a map of where you are. It must be armpit hot there right about now. I spent a lot of time in Fernandina. It was nasty there even with an ocean breeze.

Welcome.
I've been wanting to visit Ichitucknee this summer.  I haven't been there in 20 years.  Has it changed much?  Let me know if you come up Jax way.

[TRUCKDRIVER]

I have only been to Ichnetucknee (think that is spelled correctly) once. I have been to Ginny Springs twice. So I am assuming they haven't changed much. I live about 200 ft. from the Santa Fe River. The level there goes up and down quite a bit. And yes the weather here generally sucks year round, as far as I am concerned. Today it sucks really bad. One of the main reasons I drive a truck is to stay the hell out of Florida. I HATE Florida. Only good thing I can say about it is that there is no state income tax. We came here for my wifes job. I am from out west. I didnt like humidity in Vietnam, and I still dont. And yes, I am an old fart. 62, to be exact. Was well aware of the sarcasm Mr. Black. I also exhibit that trait. Will let you know when I head to Jax on the bike.

Excellent.....  He'll do fine.

Welcome  

I would guess that you bought a fast bike so as to get you as far away from Florida as quick as possible    I spent my summers there as a child; I hate it. And yes, I'm a west coaster as well and moved east because of my husband's job. We're just biding our time before we go back though   <--- east coast

Might want to check the coast to coast ride in N Fl on November 12. Look for the coast to coast web site. Just a day ride but it covers some great roads in N Fl.  I am from Atlanta and never new N Fl had so many good roads
