Got that job, found a pace to live and packers came yesterday and loaded the truck. Stuff won't be down in San Diego till the 6th and I don't start the new job till Monday. Drove the car down yesterday from San Francisco and am now in the airport flying back to pick up the bike.
Gonna take 3 days to drive down the CA coast to San Diego with a few interesting stops on along the way. Don't know what they will be yet, but looking forward to my first longer ride since the San Francisco to Victoria Canada ride last August. This will be the first over 500 mile ride with the new Street Glide. Can't wait to get rolling. Now, the fun stuff finally begins.
Been back in the country for 9 months now, looking for, and/or changing jobs and this is the third move. Been a tough winter, but it looks like we have found a good set up here in San Diego. Perfect riding most of the year. Whooo Hoooo!
San Diego is the best big city there is. The weather is perfect, the streets are paved with gold, the women are loose, people are throwing money at ya. It's like heaven on earth. Only down side is you're gonna have to learn a foreign language. Only 2.1% of the SoCal population are fluent in English anymore. That includes the people that were born here.
While growing in Dublin Ireland I always planned to live in San Diego, got there 2yrs ago while driving route 66, was not disapointed, its a beautfull city, have lived in Birmingham uk for the past 40yrs, Wish I had gone, even if ment a tour in Nam, that was the way to get in back in the sixties. Hope you enjoy it dude. Carpe Dieam.
San Diego may no be as green (color, not politics) as San Fran, but we replace that with tan on our women's body that they like to show off.
We got everything here, beaches, mountains, high desert and the desert all within an hour of each other. We even get snow in the mountians during the winter. Got cold beer, hot women, hot spicy food and cold beer.
San diego is America's finest city I lived there back in 82, had to move to LA to make a living tough to make it in san diego,but I will deffenitly retire there , lucky man, ride safe
Arthur,,,,,,,,welcome to San Diego, I've neen here since 98, retired here after 27years with the USCG. When you you go through Ramona on your way to Julian(bikers galore there on the weekends) make some noise. Not sure where in San Diego you'll be living, but the El Cajon dealer is probably the best of the 6 dealers here, they are expanding and have an on going "construction sale" on their bikes. Welcome to San Diego, watch out for the illegals.
