Moving to California
Wow, just found out at 4pm I am moving to California with my job. I am excited!!! Get to ride the bike more than 6 months out of the year.
Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

South of Sacramento. Atwater, near Merced is where I will be working, have to figure out where I want to live?

Yep, you are going to dig it. I was a transplant from Detroit about 5 years ago. Great for riding, some of the best in the world. Has its downsides too though. Good thing you already have work!
I am in SoCal about 40 miles north of L.A.

You also have to figure out if your current ride is legal to register in California. Emission requirements are different than anywhere else.

Brought my bike from Detroit where there are NO emission requirements and had no trouble plating my ride. The sourpuss that inspected it had a little trouble locating a number or something but it passed.

Thanks, hopefully no issues. I am sure Regs will be a lot more expensive than here. How is Bike Insurance?
