I'm moving to Boise, Idaho comes 1 JUN 10

[fnfalman]

No more SoCal sunshine and beach bunnies for me.:td:

[tommymac]

Who did you piss off to have to move to idaho.

[Tsunami]

Yikes! Why??

[Amber Lamps]

Who did you piss off to have to move to idaho.

this!

[Amber Lamps]

wow...

[derf]

wow...

yeh but 2 miles north is the square landfill.


No in all seriousness it sucks worse than anything I can tell you

[Rider]

Fuck that, I'd quit before I'd move there for a job.

[marko138]

Idaho isn't all that bad. My cousin lived there for several years. All he did was tattoo ppl and fish. That's a pretty good life.

Coeur d'alene is nice, but Boise? Not fucking cool.

[marko138]

Yeah, that's where he was. Had his own shop there. Now his shop is in VA. Much closer for tattoo work. I didn't get any ink in the 7 yrs he was out there.

[OTB]

wow...

Go 5 miles east though through Boise Natl Forest...whoooeee. Miles of switchbacks, paved and dirt.

Ride the Katoom everyday for a month and never ride the same stretch.

Days ride to the Oregon Coast
Days ride to Yellowstone
Calispell, Big Sky, the Bitterroots,
Coeur d'Alene, Nezperce, Snoqualmie.......

Man, I can think of a lot worse places to live...............

I'll help you move in and get settled....but we need one or two days to ride around and explore...............

If you don't ride motorcycles, hate water, the mountains, clean and clear air and winter and wintersports, Boise is a bad place to live.............

I think he must have done something right..........

[marko138]

No doubt, Leigh.

[Homeslice]

Boise is like Denver, except less nightlife & entertainment....

You fly in, and everything looks brown....

Dry, barren most of the year........Hot days, cold nights.....

Sure, it's a gateway to lots of outdoor activities, but the city itself? Lame IMO....... It's just a cow town.

[tommymac]

Apparently its a good place to live if you hate black people too :( I believe its one of the more racist states and has a lot of dem dar neo nazi types

[marko138]

City livin sure isn't for me. I'll take country any day.

[tommymac]

City livin sure isn't for me. I'll take country any day.

As long as its in PA :lol:

[VatorMan]

Reverse Beverly Hillbillies is more like it. Sorry dude.

[marko138]

@Tom. Well ya. I happen to like living in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

[Homeslice]

Commonwealth = communist :lol:

I believe you're talking about Sandpoint, that's a few hours north.

[marko138]

@homeslice. How do you figure? Pa is one of the best states in the country.

[tommymac]

@homeslice. How do you figure? Pa is one of the best states in the country.

best for what :lol:

[marko138]

A lot of things. Sweet roads, outdoors, gun laws, etc.

Better than NY that's for sure. Better than Cali.

[Rider]

best for what :lol:

For collecting your money as you drive through.

[tommymac]

For collecting your money as you drive through.

Thats new jersey :lol:

[marko138]

Ya, Pa does not collect your money at our borders.

[Rider]

Thats new jersey :lol:

The only thing I remember about Jersey is that the entire state smelled like a landfill.

[Homeslice]

A lot of things. Sweet roads, outdoors, gun laws, etc.

Better than NY that's for sure. Better than Cali.

How do you figure better than Cali? The best riding roads in America are in San Diego County. No broken-up East Coast or Midwest roads can compare, not even the Gap.

And as for gun laws, sure it's probably a little harder to get a CCL here, but other than that it's not much different.

As for Philly, most of it is a dump IMO. Of course, you did export the worst of it to NJ (Camden).

You cant beat Cali. You can surf, golf, and snow ski all in the same day. :rockwoot: Not a good place if you hate traffic and the school systems sucks though.

[marko138]

Won't argue with you about Philly. That town sucks mostly. How bot your 10 rd magazine limit? No thanks. Your state is a mess. I wouldn't move there for any amount of money.

[tommymac]

Well thats true, but that holds true for staten island too :lol:

[Homeslice]

Just because of the gun laws? :scratch:

[marko138]

That and many other factors. Your state government is a wreck.

[the chi]

Congrats?

[Homeslice]

The traffic in LA might very well be the nation's worst......But down in San Diego it's no worse than any other major city.

As for school systems.......Not sure what you mean. As long as you live in an upper-income suburb, the school system will almost always be good no matter what state it is.

[goof2]

wow...

You can tell its a classy place since they spelled it "Towne" in "Boise Towne Square"!:lol

Sorry about the move fnfalman.:td:

[Particle Man]

soooo definitely mixed opinions on Boise :lol:

If it's a move up, congrats dude.

[LeeNetworX]

You can keep CA. I can't wait to fly home this morning so I can wash off the smell of bums, crazies, and San Fran's universal health care tax.

[fnfalman]

Fuck that, I'd quit before I'd move there for a job.

By all means, help the brother find a job that matches my current salary so that I don't have to go to Idaho.

[Rider]

What do you do?

[fnfalman]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. All the works that we anticipated in California fell through so I got assigned to the job in Boise. I can either take it or take a lay-off.

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.

Plenty of bums and other undesireables in downtown ATL...........The only difference is, there's a legitimate reason to go downtown in San Fran for entertainment. Not so for ATL.......Their downtown is a ghost town in comparison.

I heard the roads are pretty nice an hour or so away. Good skiing too.

The women, well, if you like 99.9% of them to be white, blond and blue-eyed........

....and don't forget fat.

[VatorMan]

Mormon. And hay fed bruisers. Best get your workout and Caucasian dialect on.

[No Worries]

I worked in the eastern part of the Idaho. Most of the eastern boundary of the state is the Continental Divide. The Tetons and Yellowstone is like going to another world. And there's a reason one of the many mountain ranges there is called the Sawtooth's. Half of the state is National Forest or Wilderness.

I've never been to Boise, but look at Route 21 going north. You pretty much can't throw a rock without hitting some twisties. And to the south, you have desert, gambling, and whore houses. There's flat, straight roads, twisty roads, and tons of off-road. A motorcyclist's dream.

As for honey, most everyone is into outdoor recreation, both summer and winter, so there's not much fat. Unfortunately, I'm sure Boise is even more cowtown than Denver.

Not every 5 feet like SFO. Not to mention the problem with it you can't change; it's in communist CA.

[Captain Morgan]

I lived in Northern Utah for awhile and have been to Boise. Yeah, your nightlife is going to suck compared to what you've had, and there aren't going to be as many hot women as you've seen in SoCal, but if you like riding your motorcycles, and can get into hiking, skiing and snowmobiling, you'll have an absolute blast. No doubt in my mind about that.

I can definitely get back into hiking again if I don't have to drive five hours to the boondocks like in SoCal. But that white powder shit? That's for the birds.

[Gas Man]

Sure sounds like Congrads are in order, as long as the company is paying for the move.

[OneSickPsycho]

So what are you doing? Same job, same pay? If it's same job/same pay, you'll probably be moving up significantly in the world just from the cost of living difference...

I think the motorcycling thing has been covered... but as far as women are concerned, there are hot chicks everywhere. I'd venture to guess that everyone posting down about the Boise talent probably ain't pulling super models... or even Sears catalog models anyway.

[Captain Morgan]

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.

I thought it was all over SoCal.:lol:

The only thing I remember about Jersey is that the entire state smelled like a landfill.

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.

Dont forget staten Island, he entire borough should be a superfund site :lol:

qfmft!!!!

[racedoll]

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.

[Cutty72]

And just think of the potatos!

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.

A lot of things. Sweet roads, outdoors, gun laws, etc.

Better than NY that's for sure. Better than Cali.

Well yeah the people, taxes, traffic, smog, gun laws are better BUT we have KILLER riding roads. And a shitload of race tracks. lol
