Seriously; where should a bikie retire?
"Luke" wrote in message ... I'm surprised no one's ventured this proposal, so here goes. Forget about a house; invest in a luxury motorhome and you can have your pick of locations Actually that idea was already proposed: "Tom Nakashima" wrote in message news:... Have a base condo in Baja California's retirement area and a luxury Motorhome. -tom My friend is a fly-fisherman and gave this idea, and he's really living it up (milking it for all it's worth). He's been retired for five years now and the motor home has been a joy , free to travel and not pay the high hotel fees. When he gets tired of traveling the roads he's back at his base condo and enjoying the good life. -tom |

He also had a house in WA, and would go back and forth twice a year, snowbird-style. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. I know several mountain bikers who enjoy Baja, but I don't think I'd want to brave Mexican roads on a bike, at least not that part of Mexico. There are too many wild and crazy Americans enjoying the "wild west" atmosphere down there. Also, Baja is not as cheap as it used to be. Personally I'm tempted to move to British Columbia, particularly on the island, where it looks like there's great riding all over the place. I sure see a lot of bikes there. Matt O. |

Toured there this past summer, but it is really a MTBer's paradise. You know you're in B.C. when the MTBs cost more than the cars.... Luke |
