Coming Home!

[SLANT i]

Hello all

I grew up north of Boston most of my life but moved to southern CA about 4 years ago when Saleen hired me to build their supercharged engines. Since their last bankruptcy it's been a serious struggle to make ends meet out here and I'm moving back to MA to try and get back on my feet.

I figured I have ocmoto.com out here and have made some fantastic friends and been invited to some incredible events. I'm new here and don't think I know anyone on NESR but I hope this will serve as my east coast replacement for a community of friends/fellow riders

Welcome home!
Where about's north of Boston?

[SLANT i]

Thanks, I'll be in Andover at my parents' place... for now.

[Kenn157]

Nice! Well good luck. We have a few folks in and around Andover. I'm in Salisbury.

Please shut off the lights

Death panels can still find you in the dark.

Wiil the last worker leaving Cali.. Please shut off the lights

yeah right, if there were decent jobs in CA still I wouldn't be leaving. I can ride all year here! It will end up being "the last person unemployment denies benefits to"

I kind of miss snowy winters anyway, I'm ready to come back.... I will miss being on the bike every day though, and splitting lanes, and filtering at red lights.

sounds good but people don't have to be in Andover. I'm so used to everything being far away out here I don't mind longer rides. Even when I was growing up I was always driving all over creation for events and dinners with friends on nasioc.com (subaru club). Maine, to western Mass, to CT and RI, if people say it's worth the ride and I have the gas I'll probably be there

I would but the company was sold to a canadian guy about 3 years ago so there aren't any goodies laying around anymore.
