Hello everyone.....

[Art708]

 My name is Art and I just moved back to Florida after being away in SC for about 15 years. I am living in Jacksonville and just recently bought an '08 ST1300. I have owned many bikes in the past including 5 Valkyries, one of which I still own and ride. The ST is a different riding experience for me as this is the first Sport Touring motorcycle I have owned. I  hope to meet up with some more Florida riders for lots of good riding.

Hi Art, welcome aboard!
You will like the ST. I had an 04 and an 08 and put over 250K on the two.
Also from the Sunshine State but the South end.
We have monthly Central & South RTE's which you can find either on the calendar section of this site, Facebook (MSTA-Florida) or our State website:  http://www.flmsta.org/rides-1.html
We have been looking for someone in your neck of the woods for a long time to put together lunch rides in that area (Florida is a long state). Maybe once you find your way around up there that hat might fit....maybe?
Regardless, looking forward to meeting you. -JEP-

Welcome Art!  Florida does have a pretty active MSTA group and you should hook up with them when you have a chance.  Take a look at the regional rally/event calendar and you will find some that are within easy riding distance of the Jacksonville area.  Hope to see you at one this year.

Welcome Art! I'm up on Western NC but perhaps we will meet at an MSTA event somewhere.
