Ok ... NOW, I need your expert advise. Hubby and I are toying with the idea of retiring ... someday...for now we're ready to join the ranks of "Snow Birds". Considering THIS is a good time (so they say) to buy a house down in your parts, where should we be looking.

Don't have a lot of specifics other than a safe area and ... from a biker's perspective ... somewhere where there is good riding...and warm! We're kinda thinking as far north as Vegas and far south as Texas/Arizona. Somewhere that has nice riding temps during our winter months (Jan - March).

The only thing holding us up right now is the exchange rate. It's in the toilet right now and I understand it's going to get worse ... But, we are still 'toying' with the idea.

Any suggestions?

 

Check out NM. I love it!

 

South Texas,near mcallen or san benito.

 

West coast of Florida.

 

south/central Arizona: 350+ riding days per year!!Ride north in the summer,and south in the winter w/ California,Nevada,Utah,Colorado, and New Mexico only a few of hours away! Not to mention alot of great people to ride with!

 

I second that. My wife and I will retire to South Padre Island in a few years.

 

I'm with David, but could be because I'm one of the great people he rides with!!

 

Interesting ... We have friends in Weslaco ... and that's kinda where I'm thinkin. Any comments about that area?

 

My wife and I own a condo on South Padre Island, so we get down there as often as possible. I too have a friend in Weslaco and have been there several times. I am by no means an expert on the inner part of the Rio Grande Valley, but I've been in and around enough to tell you there are some very pretty places to ride. I was stationed on the island in the Coast Guard in the mid '70s and rode my old panhead all over the valley.

 

I agree about Arizona .....and the great people to ride with ...haven`t got the chance yet to ride with them but they seem like a great bunch of coconuts ...lol
