I think you need to come to Nebraska.

Now granted, you're gonna miss out on some of those fine English fixin's, but we got steak man! And loads of it.

Sure, there have only been about 8 Piaggio products sold here in the last 20 years, but think of the free time you will have!

And just think of all the corn fed gals you can pick from!

Come to Minnesota. I have a GL that needs a little care...

Oh, and there's this really friendly single girl you should meet. Lives a few door down. Looks just like the hotties in some of the Porche ads. Yeah, she's got one of those too. Asked if they made my bike in red since it would match her car...

But I'm happily married and you should meet her.

Damn that thing is fast!

+1 on coming to the NW suburbs of the twin cities... (especially if you're willing to work on moderns once in a while).

Minneapolis is actually known as a bastion of microbreweries. We can keep you libated.

HP Sauce is the balls! I had some again last night with my chop.

You are a nice guy Rover Eric but I'd like you better a half continent away.
I don't want too much of a good thing.

Right? double your income......

The weather would be the toughest battle. I need my vitamin D injected sunlight.

Been to the U.K a couple of times. Good times......

Don't listen to any of these people.

You need a challenge. Go to Vietnam and fix their scooters.
