Originally from little ol' Chatham, NY. Now I'm down at Ft. Bragg, NC. The weather is definitely more cooperative down here for riding.
How funny. I work for dot in Chatham and lived there for about 8 yrs. Live in hillsdale now. Believe it or not, you are not the 1st forum member that I've seen on here from Chatham.
Beautiful area but don't blame anyone for leaving this weather and economy.
Born in Apalachin....moved to Newark Valley...left NY State in 1975....never moved back. I still visit every few years
just so I do not forget why I moved. Beautiful country, don't get me wrong, but there is beautiful country in less liberal states.
