Default getting transferred??

May be getting transferred from alberta canada to fort worth Texas. Kind of excited to make the move money is good and definately more riding time down here than the 2 months i get in canada. Health care down here is payed for also i will have my wife and step daughters with me instead of seeing them 6 months a year. Also cheaper bike parts and i wont have to smuggle parts across the border in my suitcase any more. Yes a nostalgic motor gaurd will fit in a suitcase.

Hmmm. most that I know or have known that have lived in that area consider the D/FW area to be Sheet Hole,(no offense to anyone from that area) but you know what "They" say, "it's what you make of it".
Congrats on making more $ though and gettng out of Cannok land.
