Well... I thought I would make it known that I accepted a position with the company that I work for to relocate myself out of the East Coast area to Minneapolis, Minnesota.:eek:

Yep, I made the decision after a month of debating. This means riders of Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa to watch out for this crazy rider!!:blah:

If all goes as planned, I will make the move in October of this year. In the mean time, I will be making visits to Minneapolis.

It also looks like I will be taking up "snow mobiling".:eek: :( .... Hopefully I will adapt to their cold weather!:confused:

Anyway, I thought I would let you guys know where my head has been this last several weeks. This is not 100%... There are still opportunities for me to either back out, or look at other locations, but as of today, it looks like it will be Minneapolis, MN.

I still plan to be an EXriders.com member!:D I also plan on doing the EXriders.com rides in West Virginia in the years to come!!:cool:

Welcome to the land of 10,000 taxes...LOL, it's not too bad here. You just adapt to the weather, snowmobiling helps you from losing your mind in the winter. :devil:
Good luck!

:eek: :(

I assume "Off" mosquito repelent will work???:( Thanks for the input!:D

I work for a company called LaFrance, with a division called Benmatt Industries... I will be switching from LaFrance to Benmatt. I will be a salesman for them.:) Note: Our headquarters is in Concordville, Pennsylvania. I would be the only representative from the company in Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa.

BTW... I thought there was a lot of snowmobiling in Minnesota.:confused: I also thought there was a lot of snow there too during the months of November to February. (normally).

Oh yeah, there are a lot of sleds, all the guys I ride with have both Quads and sleds (I bum one of my father-in-laws). Last few years have been pretty inconsistant for snow. I got about 300mi of riding in this year just locally.
