Retired and moved to Florida.

Welcome. I've been here 21 years. Worked, rode and retired here. Rode all year long. It don't get much better than this! I usually cringe when I read that people are "winterizing" their ride. Enjoy! (and you're going to love Daytona, the people there are absolutely the nicest you'll meet).
 
Eddie, I was reading your stuff over on HTT, too I believe. Before retiring to Ocala Florida we lived just inside the I-275 loop on the NW side in Northgate. At that time I was working in Reading not too far from where you were working with GE if you were at the Shepard Way and I-75 plant.

My wife is a beachaholic so we ride over to Daytona on a fairly regular basis. If you find Daytona is too pricy for you we are 90 miles west in Ocala in a small community called Marion landing. It's an extremely friendly community with all the traditional amenities: pool, tennis courts, gym, plus our own bowling alley that's free to members of the community. It's part of your amenities that are $112/month and have been for the last 6 years. Crime is practically nonexistent and taxes are low. The only time anyone leaves here is if they die. We sure aren't going anywhere. A friend that lived across the street from us in Northgate came down to visit shortly after we moved in and really liked the place. They came down again about six months later and liked it so much they decided to stay. They now live 3 streets from our house.

In regard to hurricanes, I understand usually all we get is a lot of rain. We haven't been here for a really bad one yet. Being in the middle of the state helps.

Sorry so wordy. Daytona really is a pretty cool place, know why you'd like it there If you get a chance, give Hog Heaven (restaurant) a try for great Bar B Q. They're on a west corner of A1A but can't remember the cross street, not too far north of the track.

That's a very good price on the amenities. Here in Central FL, you will find $300/$400 per month with price increases each year.
