Ya I know its been cold there but hell nothing like NY. I so wish I had my truck to get all my stuff there but at least its a start gettng outta NY. Anyways its been a while I guess my heads been elsewhere but I just wanted to share this with the forum because ide love to meet some of yous

I can comment on Hudson, as I stayed there for 1 month many winters ago. It's a small, quiet community right on the gulf coast. The beaches are all rock and mud. You need to travel 20 min south to get to Clearwater, the first nice beach. In terms of scenery and nice riding around there, not much at all. However, it's still way nicer than NY this time of year.

A great scooter day trip from Hudson would be to head south on US19, take US19 West at Tarpon Springs, then the causeway at Clearwater that will take you out to US699 (Gulf Blvd). From there you're 50' to the ocean all the way south to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, past Sarasota, back on US789 (Gulf of Mexico Dr), down to Port Charlotte, and a bunch of beautiful state parks.

I wish I could take my Swing and join you for that great ride.

God you have no idea how bad i wish i was going to have all my stuff there, im so lost without a truck to pull my trailer. but i have been to hudson for a 2 day stay i know tis off the beat and path and well im not a beach guy. I just want a good gym as im gonna try out 4 of them befor i make my decision and to get the hell out of NY and shes so godly nice to open her house to me as i do for here in ny. I herd there is some good riding terain up in that part of fla. But yes a nice ride along a beach is just awesome weather your a beach nut or not. Ill be on jerrys wifes bike so ill be following him. Ill have mycar so ill be doing alot of driving down there. Ftlaud. naples for visits as well as other places. Time just cant go fast enough till i get out of NY, Thank you for the heads up

I'm all for someone escaping from New York since I accomplished that myself many years ago, but I have to warn you it was 19F in north FL this morning. Even with the great protection afforded by the SWing that's effing cold. At least we don't have snow.

One good thing about FL especially for riders of small scooters, although not everyone will agree, is its flatness. The Helix I hope you get to borrow will do 75+ all day with nary a hill to slow your progress.

Hudson, well, most of the west coast, is very nice. I'm sure some of us Floridians can suggest several day trips for you.

Being Wingless won't mean you can't get a little S'Winger action while you are here!! We'll be finishing up the 3rd of our local S'Winger builds right after you get here. So don't dawdle and you might get to do a I-have-no-axe-to-grind, "first impressions" report for the forum.
