I actually live down in Port Charlotte. The commute is worth not having to deal with the hussle and bussle.

No trouble with cops out in North Port?

Welcome!! I was in the Coast guard from 87-91 stationed at BMB on a 210. I still live in the area and ride all over south Florida. If you look hard enough you will find legal and illegal places to ride.

BTW, an 86?

You need to upgrade..

Not at all. They have been leaving people alone for a while. Only problem I have is people leaving their trash for me and my family to pick up.

Which 210? What rate? Upgrade..Bikes?.... Do you mean downgrade? If Jesus rode a bike it would be an 86 TRX250R I can rebuild the top end faster then most can do an oil change. It is actually a 330cc two stroke running race gas....Granted on the trails its 90% rider. But if you ever want to be skeered my bike does the job.... Stupid fast race gas only and the smell of 2cycle oil and race gas smells like Angel piss. I will never give it up. Dont get me wrong. I enjoy the wifes 4 stroke from time to time. LOL I kid I kid. I do love em all.

Dauntless, I was an EM. Nice bike, but you will find more places best suited for a utility ATV than a bike like yours. Just saying.

Haven't run into that issue down where I live. Sand, Trails, And long stretches of open. More sport quad friendly here. A utility would just piss me off. Not that you cant find a fun place to ride one here.... Just not my type of fun.
