Knot sure if this is the right place to put this so I will put it in a few spots. I am being transfered (for work) from Dirty Jersey to California. Since I am senior of the losers being transfered, I have my choice of cities to work out of. I will be commuting in a company pick-up truck so lane-splitting is not an option. All I do when I'm not working is ride / race my Buells and ride my road bicycle. The cities I get to choose between are San Francisco and Los Angeles. I am basing my decision on distance to racetracks that have trackdays and racing and work commute time. I am searching Roadracing world & motorcycle technology for track riding groups and racing groups. Any info/advise that helps me make my decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. | ||

Be advised, if you are like millions of other people, you won't want to drive in Los Angeles if you choose to live there. And if you do, the stress of dealing with anything more than a 30 minute commute will force you to seek either early retirement (to a much less populated area) or another job. I'm not kidding. There are good people that used to work on my program, but when the company relocated the program near LAX, they couldn't cope with the daily horrendous freeway traffic jams and quit after about 6 months. Oh yeah, the option of using public mass transit instead of driving solo is a joke because, although it is reasonably affordable, it's just not convenient for most people I've spoken to about this. However, if your company has a plant in an outlying area to LA like, for example, Ventura, Palmdale, Victorville, Redlands or even Temecula, that might be a W H O L E lot better, IMHO. So, how does SanFran look now? | ||

Thanks for all of your help. I have decided to work out of the shop located in "Hayward". Anybody from there or near there ? | ||

You chose the right place to move to if you are a motorcycle enthusiast. The Bay Area is the best place to ride bikes. | ||
