RE: wear to live for the best riding

There are deals to be had in California right now. The mortgage crunch has a lot of homes selling way below their previously CRAZY asking prices. I live in Escalon, California which is a small country town in the central valley. It's about 1.75 hours East of San Francisco, 1.25 hours South of Sacramento, 1.5 hours West of Yosemite.

We can ride highway 49 through gold country, ride to San Francisco, head over to Santa Cruz, down to Monterey etc. It is a really good location to ride out from. I have been to Hollister, Redwood Run, and Street Vibrations every year since I bought my Indian. There are a lot of gear heads hear, a bunch of my buddies and I will be doing Sturgis this year...

By the way, I rode most of last year clean in to November, parts of December / January and the weather is starting to warm up to great riding weather again already. Will be riding three or four days this week.

I was just kidding actually. I have 80 acres there can't sell it. My dad left it to me. I have never been there or seen it.

RE: wear to live for the best riding

The wife and I have debated this issue for a couple years now. Being from NJ we know what bad is all about. What we've concluded so far is No Florida (too humid), No California (too California), No Northern States, although they are the most beautiful, and No Deep South. We will be checking out the western Carolina's and the Missouri/Arkansas border area this year.

Moved to TN. six years ago. All things considered, (climate, scenery, cost of living, etc.) TN. is hard to beat.

RE: wear to live for the best riding

I too struggled with this question prior to retiring and chose to live full time in an RV so we could go and stay in any part of the county, picking the seasons to enjoy each area at its best.

Theres no place like home, at least for me here in east Tn., I live next to alot of good riding in alot of places just like Tn Houndog said, if I want to travel out of state NC.,Ky,Va, they are all a stones through away, Smoky Mtns., Foothills Pky,BlueRidge Pky, ShadyValley,Mtn.City, up hwy 70 to Va.,I could go on and on, also the weather does get a little warm in the summer but you have all these mtns. to ride in and stay out of the sun, like I said, no place like home.
