I have enjoyed reading your post here and I am looking for a group to form hope close to my home but at least when not able to ride I can keep intouch here and look for rides or riders close to where I live.

I get that a lot too. Actually it was kinda funny yesterday. I'm in FL for the holidays and had a Harley hat on.. Guy in the checkout line at a Publix (clearly a biker - leather jacket with a HOG patch, leather boots, etc) turns to me and says, "Nice hat, do you even ride?" I laughed and said, "What, do I not look like it?" He then proceeded to tell me I look like I would ride "them crotch rocket bikes" I laughed and told him what I ride. I'm 25 and I guess I don't look the part.

Well gentelman, It seems like im gonna be relocating back to the frozen north (Northeast Ohio) in the near future. Not sure if im looking forward to it but our kids and grand kids are all there and we are missing them real bad. Especially my wife. 1 or 2 times a year visits aint cuttin it with her any more. I have begun a job search. Thinking spring time will be when or if we go. Im gettin too old for this kind of stuff but it is what it is.

Feel your pain. I just relocated back to NJ for basically the same reasons except it's my parents and sister. God this place sucks. Best of luck to you.
