Default Goodbye Rhode Island Hello North Carolina

Well after living in RI for 44 years my wife and I have decide to make the move to Summerfield NC. We have some good friends out there and have visited many times and fell in love with the area and the people. I look forward to meeting my fellow riders and 2nd amendment supporters out there and to explore the area on my bike. I will miss some aspects of New England my RI friends, family and amazing restaurants but I wont miss the lousy roads, overpriced real estate, rude people and lousy economy. If there is anyone in the greensboro area please let me know I would like to meet you and hopefully show me some great riding areas and where to go for indy work

Good for you. I would like to get out of this State. It was 37° this morning.

Good move and best of luck. Awesome riding anywhere in the mountains and I know a couple great Indy's in the area. Also loads of HD shops you can be at inside an hour. My favorite for parts as they always seem to have what I want is Crossroads in N Wilkesboro. Favorite for mechanical work is Tilleys in Salisbury. Their lead tech really knows what he is doing.

We are considering a similar move from Maryland for similar reasons in the next couple of years. Congrats on getting it done.

As far as Indies go, Tman Performance is right next to you in Kernersville.

My daughter lived in Providence for several years (grad school at Brown), so we visited a couple of times each year. I liked the area as a visitor, no way would I choose to live there! I've done a lot of work in NC, frequent visits especially Raleigh -- Greenville area, rode thru the state many times, really liked the area/climate/people. Have fun!

Lots of folks on Long Island said I wouldn't like N.C.. They were wrong.
