Great Day For A Ride

« on: January 09, 2010, 07:47:15 PM »

It was a great day for a ride today! Traffic on the PCH was a little much, helped a guy who laid his beamer down in the middle of it all. Headed up towards Malibu and started to get bored so I headed back to Topenga Canyon for some twisties! But alas, traffic again. Who does construction on Saturdays?! Even still, any day on a Monster is a good one!

You should.

Phoenix suburbs -- 70 degree winter, sunny, insanely low housing prices. Here are some brand new houses for sale:

$99,000 -- 4 Bed, 2 Bath, 2,154 Sq Ft

$99,000 -- 4 Bed, 2 Bath, 2,062 Sq Ft

$99,000 -- 5 Bed, 3 Bath, 2,424 Sq Ft

arai_speed the bike look's the "DOG'S" and road looks wonderful [moto]

Michael at the price of those homes I think that I'll have to move aswell, over here in the UK a home like the one's you posted would cost in excess of £500,000 and that's in the north west.

I'm envious of both you guy's Cry

JEBUS... I got a 'deal' on a 640 Sf place in Arlington VA 8 years ago for twice those prices... and I kicked ass for it, especially when it came time to sell.. But those prices bum me out a little...

I know if I ever sold my place in Arlington I'd never be able to afford to move back...

And all of you in warm weather... HATE! It was 14 yesterday when I got up. So over it...

I got out for a bit of a ride on 1/9. It was in the mid 40's here in Portland, no rain. applause

Yuu,

I am in the same boat. Prices in New Hampshire would be double for the same house in Phoenix. If I ever moved out I would not be able to move back.

I keep meaning to get up to ACH, who know why I haven't?!

Mean looking bike, by the way! I think I may upgrade very soon. Cant decide between the s2r 800 or the new M1100? I guess there could be worse decisions to make in life!
