Well, I never thought that it would come to this, but I am leaving the motorcycle-riding friendly state of Florida. I moved down here 20 years ago, leaving Detroit and the auto industry behind to work in the space launch industry. Had a wonderful time, and rode some memorable rides with a lot of memorable (and a few not so) people. I am retiring in early December, and though a lot of people retire and move to Florida, I am retiring and moving out of Florida, and north to Indiana. When asked why, the answer is simple; I have no family here, but my wife has 3 kids who live in Indiana, and with them come 6 grandkids and two greatgrandkids.
Spending the first 45 years of my life up north, I already know what to expect. I won't be riding year-round, but come spring I will have the shiniest ride in town! I will update as I get there. Anyone in the vicinity of Peru or Kokomo, give me a shout and we can touch base.
