So you guys south of the Mason Dixon have to let us know that you're in a different country, too!

Hey city of sin (pddpimp)!  I moved from Denver to south of the Mason Dixon almost a year ago now.  It feels like a different country some times.  But I can't beat the weather in the winter.  Speaking of that, how cold is it up there?  Supposed to be mid 70's this weekend.   :)

OH MAN...I don't know what you are talking about. It's almost 70 deg here...Well, in my house  ;)  Yeah, I've often thought of moving out of state. The damn job market and housing market have taken that thought away for a while.

Favorite quotes I had heard that were about the south:

"Get off me Pa, ya squishin' my smokes."

Sam,

You have my hours.  I'm on shift work and sometimes it's hard to "snap out of it".  Prolly harder as I get older... - I don't wanna know.

OK Frank, perhaps all newbies should be required to fill out their address if not their bike also!?

Beta should have stuck around Colorado. Still no humidity, bugs plus we've been in the 70's all week while those Bama, Joeja, etc boys have had that funny white stuff. Go figger (insert banjos here)

Believe me, I'd go back to Colorado in a heartbeat.  I miss riding the twisties in the foothills.  All that's around here is flat straight runs with everyone on a stretched Hyabusa.  Hondaman and I both got caught up in this crap economic downturn.  He managed to stick around the area, while I had to move out.  But I'm employed this year as opposed to the same time last.  Speaking of that, I need to buy some more parts.  It's about time to get a working speedometer and tach put on.  I'm lucky I've avoided the fun conversation with the local law... "Why no officer, I have no clue how fast I was going."
