Well, Massachusetts is gonna LOVE my driving record. No tickets, no accidents in over 14 years. I figured out a long time ago, car tickets are wasted points. I did commercial telecom in the D.C. area for about 20 years after the service and only got points on the bike. At some point, I figured out that if I kept the stoopid rat racing on the bike out in the hills of the Shenandoah Valley and chilled in the suburbs, AND learned how to manage traffic court, I'd quit getting points. I'm golden now. I dunno what goes on with group gropes up there, but if it involves crazy stuff, I'll be fading away. Every rally and/or poker run I ever went on down in Va. involved doods crashing or getting tickets, so I just quit riding with others. After my divorce 17 years back, unless the chick of the month had a girlfriend with a boyfriend on a bike for us to go off with, I never rode in a group after about 1990. Doods down there wanna ride side-by-side or tailgate, so without firm rules, I don't ride with anyone but a chick on the back. You doods seem a lot more sensible in that regard, but I might have that wrong, too, cause at heart, I'm a moron.
I don't fear death, I fear not getting croaked and winding up in between healthy and dead, for life. First rule of this stuff, especially on the street is, no one gets hurt. So no stoopid stuff. And any nutty stuff needs to be twisties far, far away from traffic and preferably during the week when the morons in cars are at work. Anyone can go out on the Pike, 128 or I-95 and yank the throttle, but to me, the twisties are the art form and straight line interstate high speeds are for morons, given the laser and radar the Law uses these days. Dunno about Massachusetts, but in Va., 100MPH will get your ass cuffed and thrown in the back, and if you run and don't get away, they WILL pummel yer ass when they catch you, so I don't do that stuff. Maybe I oughtta paint my bike pink for that attitude, but through two bikes and a hundred and 20 or 30 K over thirty years' time, the shiny side is still up and I wanna keep it that way. Yall will never get me out on the track, been there done that at Summit Point years ago, but rides, I'm game.
Prince William County, Va. Redneck wonderland. Yeah, I was married and hadda house out there in Manassas in my married days. Lotta fat broads out there, my ex-wife included. Only thing there is an excellent motorcycle dealer and shop. Excellent chick-to-dood ratio in the D.C. area too if you filter out the fat chix. Even an ugly bastard like me can get chix in the D.C. area. And, there's a HELL of a lot of good riding to do down there, but other than that, Northern Va. and the D.C. area in general can lick me. But I'm not bitter or nuttin'
Suffice to say, I'm lookin' forward to the move North.
