OK guys, I live in England so can't comment on taxes or cost of living but I did look into weather requirements before embarking on a drag racing career in the States.
In the West, Earthquakes, Wild Fires and the occasional Volcanic eruption if you are far enough north.
In the North, to much snow and Ice, far more than I am are used to in England.
In the East, depending on how far South you are, there is still snow to contend with and the odd Hurricane coming along the coast from the South.
In the South and I did live there for a while in the early 80s, much to hot and the Hurricane season to deal with.
In the middle bit and it is a BIG bit, haha, Tornado Ally.
And then what about the wild life, I din't fancy being eaten by a wolf, Alligator, Mountain Lion or Grizzly Bear.
With all this in mind, I was thinking along the lines of North Georgia.
All this and I haven't even got a bike to ride so I make inquiries and find one in Florida.
I fly over and pick it up and start the long ride up to Boston MA to get is sorted.
So where did it break down, you've guessed it, Georgia.
Enter Bill Benton who dragged my sorry ass up to Atlanta and as a lot of you know, the rest is like me, HISTORY.
I didn't pick North Georgia, it picked me, haha.
Sam.
