lol....actually somewhere in west va is my goal. close enough to ky and oh and smack dab in the middle of quad country:D i cant live close to taco....he has issues:eek: :blah

[kabd69667]

i live in central ohio. Pretty nice actually. Snow in the winter, hott in the summer. You have some big cities like akron, cleveland and columbus within 2 hours of driving. Its a small town where i'm at. A lot of farms and wilderness. and there's some good riding spots, 7 tracks, ect.

[Pappy]

yeah ohio is a cool state.....ya'll has some mean police:grr :macho

i will be researching taxes etc....land value...blah blah blah!!

west va is an easy jump....very liberal state. keep the ideas and reasons comin....i could be your neighbor:huh

[kabd69667]

guy432 lives up in masslion....but the further north you get, the cities then to get bigger. and hey, you have gt thunder and baldwin in ohio too. two good companies

[Pappy]

yeah true....thats one reason for staying centrally located in those states. when i move....i will be working for myself. so the closer to the market the better

[DEAL]

Canada.
Or kentucky , either one.

[Pappy]

not bashing canada....but with thier gun laws.....they would move me right into a nice jail cell:devil

[forum]

CANADA! haha.

YEs there is snow here. But its only like 0 degrees celcious (ware i live near toronto) OO wait you yanks still use the crazy imperial system of measurement. So i might as well be speaking french. If you can live without a gun and feel more comfortable with your neighbors not owning enough guns to suply the army then come on up! hehehe.j/k

our gun laws are very strict up here!

[Pappy]

yeah me and snow dont work.

i have nuttin to say about canada....other then ya wont catch me with an addy there:p i am a citizen not a subject:blah j/p:p

[CBW]

COLORADO:confused: :D

[Pappy]

hey Pappy im in southeast ohio right by athens taxes well were to poor to pay them and as for the country you can pee right of your deck and nobody will see you 2 1/2 hours from cincinatti 1 hour from columbus 1 from wv and well kentucky we try to go there as little as possible (sorry Rico) Lancaster is really nice thats where im am originally from good schools and the crime rate doesnt rally exist. your local stuff domestic theft i will proble be moving back in a year as soon as i sell my house.

[Pappy]

yeah chavez....takin a leak off the back porch is a big plus:D

[YLW400]

Delaware isn't too bad, I dont guess....I mean I wouldn't have moved here if I had MY way about it... Also, I can leak off of my porch at my new house...:D

Cool so whens the big beer bash on chavez's deck :D:blah :eek:

Better bring extra batteries for the digi camera for this one LOL

Also, I can leak off of my porch at my new house... Well De is a little closer to me than Ohio so maybe next time I gotta go :D

You guys are killin me.

Hey Kenny how about NJ the taxes are friggn crazy high (avg over 4 or 5K ) they have a damn fee for everything from toll roads to the highest registration fees in the country, and cant forget the highest insurance in the world, but on the other hand we also got the highest amount of spoiled little brats with decked out quads in the country and their parents got the cash to pay for it.......

[02 Red Rider]

I live in NW Ohio but that's a little too far North for what you are going to want. If I had my choice I would move down 'round SE Ohio, or SC Ohio like Chavez was talkin'. Down there you'll be real close to Wayne National Forest (Fun Ridin) and still be close to KY and WV.

[tants]

pappy move to NY. mabe even upstate if u wanna get away from the cities. that way u can visit me and mysticfalcon, even those crazy canadian boys!

[YLW400]

But 440, there is a fee for urinating off of my porch. A min. of a 12 pack must be brought to the household..:D

[Pappy]

440......it took me 3 trips to JOYSE to figure out what the heck a jughandle was:rolleyes: if them brats got $$$ then they can also afford shipping;) lmao!!!:D

im looking for slower pace of life......i want a 40x80 shop....20 acres with a few tracks for the kids;) a big arse hot tub...for the wife;) and i cant afford the east coast if i want all that:mad: time to move inbreed...uhh...i mean inland:blah

[YLW400]

[mysticfalcon]

Its a little outa the way but up here you can piss of the front porch :) every window in my house faces trees. And canada's Gun laws arent that strict. They let Crazy Canadian have a bunch of em and thats just not safe in any country. And as for snow you can just use the quad to get rid of it. my trails for teh quad have less snow on them than the driveway that was just plowed.

[400exNH]

Come to tax-free New Hampshire!!!

Seriously though, my wife and I were desperatly looking to move over the past two years. After making many road trips and seeing the different areas of the US, we realized where we live is the place to be. My point is sometimes you think the grass is greener, but in fact it's not.
Also if your serious, you better take road trips to these places and see what there all about for yourself.

[Pappy]

i own 60 acres just east of parkersburg, west va. i had never given thought to building there simply because the job market was non existant. but since things have changed for me.....its a very real possibility. some nice land too....make a sweet gncc practice course.

better check for internet ACCESS..:eek:
..or what would ya do w/yourself ...??

coarse there always satelite:D

[Pappy]

haha yeah ...sunshine is hard enough to get piped in there;)

i geuss a 56 gay or ...what is the other one...whatever it is..lol i will have it im sure.....and yes...im a net junkie:devil

[SlapNutz]

r u openning a powdre coatings store? :confused:

i want to drive my gas gas to yours shop if that whats going on:macho

Three different Riding Districts: CRA, AMA District 11, AMA District 12. Theres alot of good companies too: Baldwin Motorsports, GT Thunder, Pro Fab Atv, and Four Stroke Tech is just a little east in PA.:macho

[QuadTrix6]

stay far away from NY, i hate it here, i'm a country boy :D

[QuadJunkies]

Hey Pappy... I would never suggest you move to Idaho cause Idaho SUCKS!..(although there is some beautiful counrty out here) But.. I bet you would love Oregon..Very beautiful , great hunting and fishing and LOTS OF SAND!!!:blah :blah Im determined to get some of you out west to give it a try and you will be hooked.;)

[Pappy]

JOE....its not the direction yer headed in....its the fact that YOU are doin the drivin:p

get out why ya can.....the ratt race is for ratts:macho

[Pappy]

QJ.....if i ever come out west....they will probly have to drag me home kickin' and a screamin:p

[Ben]

You already know you are moving to WV so just decide where. :eek: I recommend the Parkersburg or Charleston areas, or the area in between them for what you are looking for. Then I can just drop of my parts to be pced and not ship them :p

[NDrider]

If you want wide open space and low crime rates, move to North Dakota. Other then that we have nothing else to offer here.:D

[Extremeracer167]

Well here in Western PA, things are easy going. Lots and lost of places to ride. Im not sure what taxes and that crap are, being 18 i dont have to worry about property tax just yet. But def. everyone around here is VERY nice, and things are just layed back! WHat more could ya ask for?

[MSL]

Move to Missouri :rolleyes:

[sportraxrider10]

central ohio is always a good choice, i wouldn't suggest that you go up north because you always get lake effect snow and you said you don't like snow so. i live in northeast

[Pappy]

WELL, with a shop at the house...and no worries about drivin ta work....let it snow...let it snow...let it snoooooooooww:p

[ZRacer]

This thread is useless because Pappy isn't moving anywhere!!! I will rip down his forsale sign on his house daily if I need too keep him from moving!!!

[4punksdad]

[RideRed04]

Oh man, if we had pappy and joe living next door to eachother...boy oh boy! Pappy, this should be one heck of a compliment to you, everyone wants you to move in close to them...lol. Well, if you dont like snow, wisconsin would be the place to go...january 6th, and we have more grass then snow:confused:

kiled

[wheeltrax]

I agree with my fellow Wisconsin ppl. Come here! There are alot of places to ride. plus the snow isnt that bad. we have had a messed up winter the past few years.. its almost like canadia type messed... j/k. snow.. 40º.. then snow... then 50º then more snow and so on... other than that its cool.

How much snow is up there by you. We have a cottage a few miles away from castle rock lake and Im wondering if its worth taking a trip up there and going snow riding soon. Or is it like down here in southeast wisconsin that we have like an inch or 2...Thats no fun!

[Derek]

pappy come up herre and ride with us. (tommy, me, jay)

There is NO snow here Nuthing at all....The only thing white in our yard is from somone TPing us....oh yeah and by the way it is supposed to be 48 tomorrow here and 44 on wednesday....

[400exNH]

Pappy are you really going to move , or is this just another one of your lies. I thought I remember seeing a thread awhile back from you regarding saying your "goodbyes" the forum, but that never happened. :p

[Pappy]

i was leaving. but i was asked to stay.....so i did. and as far as lies? you dont read enough i reckon.

and yes....we are relocating. you just dont pack up and move a family until a few things are inorder. we have situated ourselves to where we can do this when the current owner of the business i manage retires. i wont leave him until he cashes in....made that promise 12 years ago:)

[Rip_Tear]

Good luck on the move Pappy, I know its not happing soon but. Hope you find a good place! I am looking forward to finishing college and building a place on a lot with some acreage definatly over 200. The gun laws aren't that bad, they probaly wont even have any soon, with the way the one is going now. Most people haven't even registered their guns.... Doesn't matter though. Have fun! Are you planning on building a house?

[Pappy]

we havent decided to build on our land...or purchase another. thats why we have a year to plan it out.

Like I said Pappy, the whole exriders regulars should move to the same spot :D somewhere where theyre is snow in the winter, sand dunes, and tons of woods riding, plus good neighbours that dont get b!tchy if you go on "dey turf dawg"....

looking at this map http://www.jayzeebear.com/map/usa.html#

Northern Iowa looks like a nice place to be!!!
-its in the middle of the states
-snow
-fishing
-low crime
-country side
-lots of riding

OR

Oregon
-beaches
-hot girls
-sand
-snow
-beside cali, nevada, idaho, washington
but is there forestry?

you do not want exriders to take over the east coast! small states!

but im actually trying to stay away from the equator LOL too hot!!

[buckNbanshee]

hey pappy come up here and live in Barbourville Ky

[Pappy]

^----see what i mean:devil lmao....taco...we wouldnt get no work done...same with 4punks and rico:D

ny right by me and lathers, tons of places to ride:cool:

[Rastus]

How about SouthEast Ohio?

Do you want to be closer to the River...like where I live?...or do you want to live closer in, like Lancaster, etc?

[4punksdad]

Just what I need.............a neighbor named joeroadking who is as wild as me. :o
hey pappy..........sounds like joeroadking is movin in next door. Maybe he will rent ya a room in the basement :o

[Pappy]

4punks....you'd get a lil pissed ....i'd be in the garage at midnight.....some maiden on the stereo......drinkin more then one should.....constantly firin up quads...or sanders....makin a royal ruckas.....

I wish I could, looks like my kind of place ! yeh my neighbors here are so petrified of me between me constantly fine tuning a quad, harleys with drag pipes, and my old vette with chambered exhaust they will not even look in my direction it is a little odd having Quads in the city (there must be somthing wrong with that boy !) !! ha LOL :devil man me ,pappy ,4punks man it would be fun ! guys I have got to get some pics up to show you maybe tommorow!

[Instinctz]

Well not for sure what your options are.. but as for oklahoma where I live is great. I only have about 4 acres, but thats because im 16, and didnt pick the place.

Benifits:
Rather low cost for land, and home's.
Lots of wood riding trails.
1600 acres of sand dunes, and trails 25 minutes away from me.
Snow for about 2 weeks added up out of the year normaly.
Decent weather for the rest.
Oppertunity to open paint shop / other atv shop (Thats what im doin.)

Mainly I like it because there is a mix of most everything, many riding spots that are from 500 acres, to 1600 acres, lots of private land that you can ride on, and the neighbores I have dont care if I ride around (never had problems). Land is fairly inexpensive compared to other areas near large riding area's (beaches).. plenty of forest and trail riding. The local law doesnt care too much about riding on roads, and will most likily give you a warning if your doing something you are not.

But good luck, finding a spot. I only know the state I live in, so cant give you advice else where.

[Foxrage]

Ohio is a great place to live but where ever you decide to stay get it close to ohio so i wont have to pay so much for shipping all the parts ill need poweder coat ill just bring them on down to you. Athens is a great place its i think in the top 10 or 20 cities to live!!! I sware thats a fact. That would be sweet too... Or right across the river around hunington is nice. Or maybe even good old MEIGS COUNTY OHIO!!!!! You have to watch out for the pot heads tho. Alot of cool riding spots that arent heard of and you have Millfield not to far away.

[TC17]

i haven't heard PA i don't think. i love it here. the city is small and dinky with forests. great trails. for every hour you travel there is a track. and not to mention Rausch Creek has 9 tracks. there is hardly ever any crime around here. land is cheap. very mountainy. you can ride trails, sand banks, track, rocky terain, and the hairscrambles are great here. there are tons of poker runs. the only had thing is the Red Neck Hooter girls.:rolleyes:

[Foxrage]

Ill make you a deal! i have about 93 acres of woods and feilds in the middle of no wear. It has my house and a 2 story garage on it. All water and electric lines right there. Ill give you a peice to build you our shop and house on and we can share the land to build and play on. All i want is some powedercoating!! Im serious TOO!!! we have a town about 2 miles away that does nuthing but riding we have tons of major riding places within 45 minutes. And im sure you could get plenty of business. One of the best schools on ohio. I live about 25 min from athens. You have a 12-18 months but if you consider it let me know.

[Pappy]

yeah i like ohio alot. i used to pull runs thru there and it was a beautiful state. i will have to take the wife on a few lil day trips out there and let her check it out.:)

[cjpoole1]

I would suggest middle TN or possibly central KY. TN is really the most centrally located state to all quad races. GNC, GNCC, and Mid-south Hare Scramble Series. The weather is pretty nice year round. Not much snow at all and not real hot, except for August, and a wide range of hunting and fishing. I could go on for days.

[Pappy]

i have family in tennessee.....johnson city...kingsport....and more that i dunno where they actually live in that state. nice place....
