I guess riding down south on the East Coast is getting to be out of the question. Looks like the great west for future destinations for me. VA, NC, SC, now FL don't want us biker trash to ride there anymore. So be it. I'll happily take my NY money elswhere, where we're more welcome! >:( ;)

Howie,
Why are you including VA in that statement?  The increased penalties that were forced on us, and the law has since been repealed, was only for Virgnia residents, not for non-residents.  But now even we won't get hit with the extra BS fines...it's back to "normal" here in the Old Dominion.   ;)

"As of October 1st, anyone caught doing 30mph over the speed limit in Florida faces vehicle confiscation, five to ten years in prison and a ten-year license suspension. Bill HB 137, which was signed into law earlier today, was originally targeted at motorcyclists, but was amended at the last minute to include all vehicles."


Just to keep this in perspective, it applies to motorcycles (and all other vehicles) that exceed the posted speed limit by at least 30 mph.  Is it really a bad thing to have keep it under 60 in a 30 mph zone?   Under 75 in a 45?  You get the idea.  And it's happening a lot down here.

Two things have led to this in Florida.  Sport bike riders, particularly in Miami and Tampa who are literally hitting triple digits in four and six lane busy commercial areas with heavy traffic and speed limits of 35 to 45 mph.  It's really getting out of hand.  Secondly is the Florida Turnpike.  Last year the FHP was on the news talking about how speeding on it was epidemic and drivers were no longer just doing 80 and 90, they were routinely over 100 and many times way over 100.  The speed limit is 70.

Is this draconian?  Possibly so but so is the total disregard for the safety of others by the offending drivers/riders.  I'm not worried in the least, myself.  It's not me they're after.

LOL...you made it through Virginia unscathed if I remember correctly, even if it did take Gary, Wayne and Me 30 mins to catch up to you on Skyline Drive.   ::) :P

I think I may have implied "I'd go to jail if I rode like you, or at least loose my CDL". ;D

It would be a shame to see Cybil hanging by chains on the back of a tow truck dangling back and forth as the tow truck driver takes it to the impound.

I'd bet I could talk 'em out of taking me to jail, and confiscating my Motorsickle.  Hell, a crazed woman was threatining my life, and then the throttle stuck!  I was runnin' for my Life, for Christ's sake!  Is there no help for the Widow's Son?  Later-HUBBARD

Latest word on this Florida proposed law is that it's expected to be DOA IF it ever gets out of committee.  Lots of opposition from lots of folks especially after they added autos to it.

Current version penalties, to the best of my knowledge are:

1st offense 30mph+ over - fine.
2nd offense 30mph+ over - fine plus possible jail time.
3rd offense 30 mph + over - vehicle confiscated & a jail sentence.

Applies to autos & scoots but appears designed to give crotch rockets 100 mph+ speeders & street racers major legal problems.  In some areas of Florida it has gotten out of hand & they could/should take it to the track, IMHO.

VERY doubtful it will get passed, but lots of folks are watching it & misinformation is more prevalent that good info as is the case so many times.

Hey Brother Hubbard!

Add to that list of excuses:
