Re: Newbie First Post

I have a feeling that if I went to the dragon I would be disappointed. Would probably be too crowded for me. I like to ride more in wide open spaces where I can go at my own pace and not worry about 100 bikes in front of and behind me.

cheaper than nada? I don't think 10.50 is gonna cut it. Unless I worked 24/7. From what I've heard the housing costs out there are through the roof.

Re: Newbie First Post

Don't you people work?

I lived in Northern CA for a bunch of years before I came to Phoenix. Couldn't stand the attitudes from the majority of the people there. Plus the "winters" were too cold - yes, I am a baby.

120 degrees in leathers is pretty brutal, but I like my skin on my body, so I got used to it. Working on getting a mesh jacket, but don't know how well that would hold up to pavement. There are crazies here that ride in shorts, wife beaters and no helmets. Those are mostly the cruiser people, but I've seen a couple sportbike riders w/o a helmet, too.

Iowa often has the lowest gas prices in the nation. I'm not sure how we are ranking right now. Also low cost of living.

$2.65 for 87 right now.

Is 87 the cheap gas where you live? Here in Davenport and in most of Eastern Iowa 89 is $0.10 cheaper.

Well I'm sure you would love to know how much go-go juice is here in the UK. Average between 86p and 96p per litre. That works out and at around $7 - $8 per gallon!
