If you like riding a motorcycle, just wait till you throw on a snowsuit and hop on a sled. Besides, you'll want something to do in those winter months (other than staying in the house and bitching about winter) and snowmobiling is a great option. You may be surprised, but don't knock it till you've tried it.

Yes, there are. But, keep in mind he's currently in SoCal, where hot women run rampant. While there are hot women in Boise (I dated one for awhile), there are few that are going to match the appearance of the women in SoCal. He's going to see several women, but he's conditioned to seeing them much more often, so it will seem like there are no hot women in Boise, at least until he's been there for awhile.

Then you didn't see much of it. The only stinky part is near NYC, where the city dumps its trash.

South Jersey, and the Jersey Shore is beachie keen, and the pine barrons are pretty pristine woodlands.

The city is where the stink is. You need to get out more.

Although it will be different than what you are used to right now, I'm sure you adjust and grow to like it more than you think you will. If anything it will get you out doing things you may not have otherwise done.

One thing for sure, the rent is dirt cheap.

I've found shops to service my scooter, my Beemer and my Katoom. But the closest Aprilia shop is in Portland, Oregon.

Local scuba diving consists of several lakes and streams. Not necessarily bad.

Don't know what the honey situation is like or even the twisties are like, though the Katoom should be able to get some offroad workout done.
Seems like you are pretty positive and foreward thinking about it. You will save a shit ton of cash in CoL. I would say you could use the money for some new toys, but you have a bunch as it is. Plus the real estate is probably a ton cheaper, you could buy a pimpin house with land for a fraction of what you'd pay in SoCal.

Very true, I lived outside of L.A. before moving to Mi..... Culture shock!!! Then I moved to NC from Mi, again culture shock. Cost of living, not even close!

How did you like LA? I've been thinking of getting into one of the "Big 5" agencies in LA after graduation. The thought of how much I will be paying in rent alone scares me though.

The AMA headquarters are here in Columbus, so that is my plan 2. Though I'd like to work with the roadracing series, but that headquarters is in Florida.
