    Moving to CT this summer from Texas via Florida

    Hello all!! Well just found out I have to move up north for a new job! Never been to the cold you guys are getting now and don't know how you handle not being able to ride year round. Guess I'll have to learn or pick up the new MOTO GP game for the winters. Any way trying to see how the riding up there is during the summer months and possibly find some people to ride with and show me the ropes up there when I arrive..

    Mornin, lots of Connecticunts around.

    I lead a ride out of Middletown every Tuesday night over the summer. Average about 15-20 bikes. Hope to see you around.

    I can tell you.. coming from Oklahoma to New England, sticker shock. I went from a 2600sf house that cost 81k to 1400 something SF house that was 199k.

    There has been significant variation in the market since, but be prepared!

    $199k! That's downright reasonable!
