Go west young man.Regards,Tom from sunny Az!

 

I moved to NW Arkansas from Dutchess County NY a year ago.

I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy.

You can only ride 10 months out of the year.Actually you can ride 12 months out of the year but it does get a little cold here in Jan/Feb so the rides are usually only a couple of hoursfor those months.

The riding really $ucks here. Nothing but quiet country roads, farms,ranchesand the Ozarks mountains and national forests..etc.

There's way too much affordable housing.

Property taxes are way too low.

The economy is strong thanks to Wal-Mart, JB Hunt and Tyson.

Bikes, Blues and BBQ already has too many people attending every year.

People are way to friendly.

Your 2 days ride from NY, Calif,one to one and a half days from Colorado, Sturgis, Florida,andChicago.

You can play golf 12 months out of the year.

Really does $uck here. Definitely go to Florida, NC, SC or Arizona.

 

Hey, SC_Compact, clever and funnypost! However, it would have been betterto notpost it. You're contributing to gettingmorepeople moving into Arkansas.It's irritatingthatthe once-good areas are being increasingly inundated withnew hordes of people - many of whom are obnoxious, expecting, manicmorons. After being forced to abandon coastal California (too crowded, crazy, expensive, andfull of illegals and non-English speakers), and soon south Florida (the same), I'm like more and morepeople today - wondering where to get a nice home andland in a moderate climate area with lowcosts of living,friendly people, and peace.

Thanks to everybody for your info.It's important forallof us to continually speak up in phone calls, e-mails, and letters to our senators and representatives, and voice our experiences and opinions. Many politicians are egotistical, power-and-money-dominatedliars and con artists, but some care, listen,and respond to voters' concerns.Speak up about everything!

 

Speaking of power-and-money-dominatedliars and con artists, see theincredible documentary "Zeitgeist, the Movie" at www.ZeitgeistMovie.com - especially the part about 911, which starts at 40 minutes and 30 secondsinto it. It will blow your mind and change your life.

 

I live in Indianapolis and it isn't bad here at all. You ever think about moving father south in Ohio and foregoing the 100+ degree summer days and all the blue hairs in retirement towns?

Even in Indy we have maybe 60 days that you can't ride and probably less down by the river.

 

Finally, a post that makes sense to retirement areas. I'm in Wisconsin. My bike should last close to that 200 year mark also.
