Won't be able to make the helping hands ride, but I'm planning to attend Q-S-&-L on Wed.

http://www.cabelas.com/p-0011148229550a.shtml Red Ryder BB guns have gone pink too. Saw this at Cabela's. Well, start the little ones out while they're young. If I had my way as a kid, I would have taken this over the stupid Barbie. You might shoot your eye out!

Yeah, no clue. Although that stereotype pretty much applies to NorCal, half of Long Beach, and all of West Hollywood. CA might as well be its own country. Maybe split it into two states like the Carolinas...

Sounds like a good place to start meeting the forum folks. Count me in! Might bring the other half too.

Yes, CA is still burning to the ground. It'll be 101 degrees in La Habra tomorrow (where I used to live). Seems like jumping in the ocean is the only solution to avoiding the heat. I'm so not missing that.

Now that you mentioned it, I followed my other half here to Columbus. He lived here for eight years, moved to CA for about seven, and then brought me back home. Yes, I do like it here!

Hardly. You can actually "live" in Ohio rather than scrape by on rent every month. Other than the large selection of twisty canyons, CA is so overrated. Besides, living there for a quarter century was a bit too long for me.

Hey Everyone - I'm a new transplant to Columbus, OH by way of Orange County, CA. Just introducing myself to the forum. Here's a little about myself. I've been riding for about six years and have traveled all over the United States on my 2007 Yamaha FJR1300. I am the former director of the Orange County Spirit Riders, a chapter of Women On Wheels. Although it was a bit hard to say goodbye to legal lane splitting and months without rain, there's a lot more open road out here to explore! I've ridden to Columbus from CA a couple times but now I'm here to stay. I hope to restart the lost Women On Wheels chapter that was once here in Columbus. Looking forward to meeting everyone else and swapping some bike knowledge! Christine
