What makes you stay where you live?
« on: January 12, 2009, 06:35:33 PM »
Here in RI as a cold winter night approaches I was wondering WTF keeps me here? I hate the cold,the snow and winter in general.On the bright side from April till Nov. I RIDE, fish, RIDE , swim, Ride, walk and try to enjoy the outdoors every minute that I am able to. There is a lot of beautiful landscape, the Atlantic ocean and a variety of good places to eat and just have FUN. Of coerce my family & dear friends. How many of you feel the same about where you live. KB

home is home, and nothing can change that. right chip?. i live in MA and while there are times i hate winter, with the exception of an apt. in Manchester NH. for a year ( spent most weekends back in MA ) it has always been home. i have moved within the state but still less then 1 hr from my family and only a few hours from most anywhere in new england.

i have enjoyed the adventures on my SERK exploring lots of other states, but home is home

To me, "home" is New York but I've lived in California for the past 18 years and have no intention of leaving any time soon.  Cali has the weather, culture, restaurants, variety of terrain (skiing, hiking, beach, forests, deserts, etc), great year-round riding, and it's where most of my friends are.  Yeah it's expensive, but you get what you pay for...

My family and friends! I gave up all of that to move down here 38 years ago because my lovely wife wanted to be near her parents. Her mother wasn't well. This is home including family and friends and not going to give that up again!

I have asked myself this exact question several times and it is hard to explain, but this place kinda grows on you i guess...no desire to move, lots of desire to go visit other places.

Could be because it was 84 on Saturday and 86 on Sunday and the ride is year round. OH and it will be in the mid to low 80's all of this week.  Sorry all you East Coast members

Opportunity, low taxes brought me 20+ years ago, got used to the nice weather, great fishing and hunting..
Not so much hunting left anymore, taxes are getting high and the fishing still is great...year round riding but the roads are boring.  A travelin jones is setting in but I will keep a place down here for November through March for sure

I am a rare specie.......a native Californian and we can ride in Jan. when it's 70F.  But the expense of it all causes me to be :nervous:

Home is where the USMC sends me...get some latitude, but not much.  I am not a huge fan of Jacksonville, NC, just is the east coast Mecca of the Marines.

When I am done with the gun club - Florida/home here I come -with maybe a house in the mountains near Luray also.
