    Question Richmond, VA?

    Anyone know of good places to live in the greater metro area? I'm looking for something outside of downtown preferably a nice new suburban area like SE Aurora/Tallyn's Reach etc.


    VIR is about 2hrs away, does anyone know any great riding roads in Virginia?

    I'm sorry you're moving there

    You can ride 33 and 211. I used to ride at Summit Point raceway too. ALthough, you're close enough to go to VIR instead (much better track surface for sure)

    Richmond isn't that bad, I lived in Norfolk and Chesapeake for 4 years. Best advice I can give you is stay the fuck away from the bridge and tunnel on I-64, and go to VA beach in the summer and score with all the dumbass hot blondes.

    Yeah, so am I. But it has to beat the time I relocated to NJ...

    I'll create an account and check out DC SportBikes, thanks for the tip.

    Actually turned down a gov't job in DC since it didn't pay enough to keep up with the costs of living in NoVA/DC. This pays slightly more and Richmond is cheaper than DC (though the "good" areas seem more than similar places here).

    Hmm, guess I'll find out what bridge and tunnel you mean when I get there...

    They get snow out there? Or can you ride all year round?


    Mmmm dumb blondes.

    The bridge and tunnel is what will take you into Norfolk in which then you can take 64 to VA Beach. One thing you will notice is that VA has a ton of interstates and there is an exit or entry ramp for every damn road.

    Snowed once when i was there and it was a fucking joke, although the people there act like its the end of the world when it happens.

    And the dumb blondes are all tourists so its that much better cause you'll never see them again!

    I just got back from the East Coast and so did ZX10Grrl. She said the best way to house shop in that area is decide how much you can afford and then look for that. Housing is stupid expensive out there. There is a lot of good riding though and I'll try and get you some more info from her. Good luck and we'll miss you!
