So Kelli, how did you enjoy the Melissa Ethridge performance?

If you're ever in this part of the country on your bike, check out NC Hwy 80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you want tome more hardcore twisties, make your way south to Hwy 276 over Cesar's Head.
LOL, you think I went to PGH for a concert? No, actually it was for my son's graduation. It was a great time and for the first time in five years I'm getting along perfectly well with my ex. Win and win.
I'm considering trading in the Ninja for a Honda CBR 600. I'd do a trip that far on the bigger bike. I have a bunch of friends I'd like to visit down there too, including you. Especially if I'm possibly moving to the west coast. I want to see all my friends, old and newer, before I do that.
Where on the West Coast might you be moving, Kelli?
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Bay area. Several reasons. First, because I'm not tolerating extreme cold in winter and high humidity very well these days. Two of my kids also have asthma, as does my ex, so we would all benefit from the climate change. Second, both Dan and I would have better job opportunities in our fields there. I would do engineering again and Dan would do his emergency management thing. Third, half of our family will move with us because my SIL can move there with her job, as can my ex. Fourth, because two of my children are extremely talented in the arts and my son seriously wants to be in film production for a career. They'd have better opportunities to at least get a foot in the door there than here in Buffalo.
Dan's best friend that he has known since childhood lives there too. Moved there two years ago.
Right now it's just a little more than an idea. It could be 2-5 years before it actually happens.

Well, kewl! I grew up in the Bay Area and still have lots of family there. If you move there, it's almost a certainty that we'd get a chance to meet up sooner or later.

I have a suggestion regarding bikes, given the fact you're tall enough to handle one of these:
Cut straight to the chase and pick up a Suzuki SV1000, a Kawasaki Versys or an older Concours. A Connie made from 2003-2007 is a capable machine and you have the resources of COG to keep you on the road.
Yamaha's FJR1300 is another good choice if you can find one reasonably priced.
As far as I'm concerned, Honda lost me as a customer when they dropped the Valkyrie in favor of (yawn...) yet another V-twin clone, coupled with the fact that their two wonderful supersport touring platforms - the CBR1000 and ST1100 - were reduced to one, the ST1300...which IMNSHO handles like a pig.
And the older I get, the less I want a new Gold Wing - though I think the pre-'88 models are still cool. Especially the Standards (non-bagged version).
