So I'm moving to Idaho in 2 weeks and I don't see any posting from Idaho riders... what's up with that?
I'm going to be working at Big Twin BMW in Boise and really looking forward to meeting folks and learning where the good riding is. If there are any Idaho folks on the Forum (besides our President) chime in and help me out if you will.

Jeeze Steve, if you went to Montana you could at least raise some dental floss :D Good to hear from you and good luck with the new position!

Thanks Gary! Time to say good bye to the East Coast and head to to big sky country. That would be Idaho big sky, not Montana. Since I can't be a Dental Floss Tycoon, I'll try to become a spud specialist. And I can still have a Pygmy Pony!

Welcome to Idaho!

Hi Steve,
Just a quick note to let you know that there are indeed riders in ID that read the forum besides our President (my next door neighbor and local corrupting influence). Looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you once you arrive here in Boise. Lots of great riding here in the west that you can discover. A lot depends upon the type of riding that you like to do. Are you a GS rider, twisty mountain roads, wide open high desert with WOT, etc.? We have plenty for each style of rider that can be mixed and matched to your liking. Are you riding out here? If so, which route are you planning to take? ---rick:wave
 
Hey Rick, thanks for the welcome.
We're going to be Uhaulin' out, leaving CT around June 3rd. Plan on I80 across to Salt Lake then up. Going to be my wife and I and our 4 dogs so want to get this trip done.
I've got a R1150RT waiting out there (my 2nd, love that model) so mountains for now and a GS in the future.
Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the riding community!
 
Things moving (fig and lit) in the correct direction.
Pleases me to see that as you know not so good for you lately right?
Don't you eat that yellow snow.
All the best to you Steve.

:waveThings are looking up. Time to say goodbye to the Northeast and hit the reset button and move on. All is good.
Gotta head for St Alfonso's now for the pancake breakfast and get me some margarine.:dance
 
You're going to enjoy the Stanley Stomp! Great rally.

Moving to Idaho

Don't get your panties in a wad just yet! You'll meet a whole bunch of people in Boise who will take you in hand and lead you on many fabulous rides that will make you pull out your Connecticut map and kick sand on it! Even if you have to meet our illustrious president (who frequents Big Twin), I guarantee that you'll be welcomed and enjoy all of the BMW riders in the Boise area.

I am anticipating just that! Folks I have met so far have been great. Last time I was out, it seemed the only grumpy person I could find in the state was me. Just doin' some ground work here.
 
Well CONGRATS on the relocation and new employment.

Wishing you nothing but the very best!!!!:thumb:thumb

Don't let El Presidentie convince you to dance with Sheep!

Keep us posted. I'm looking forward to a lot of ride reports full of pictures so us in flyover land can drool with envy!

Welcome To Tater Country!

Hi Steve!

Welcome to Idaho. Big Twin is a great dealership and the folks that work there are really nice. I bring my bike for service there and also stop by to drool on the K 1600GT! There are quite a few BMW riders and also a local BMW club that is pretty active. The riding north of Boise is spectacular (hwy 21 from Lowman to Stanley is magnificent).

When I stop by Big Twin later this summer I will be sure to say hi!

Regards,

Kurt

Kurt, looking forward to meeting you. We're buying a place up in Middleton and are very anxious to get the move done and get out there. Thank you for the warm welcome!
 
SALEM too:)

Don't forget the Salem Rally in July:). We too are moving to Boise, maybe a year from now. Wife has Masters IT Schooling many years ago and has work there in the Boise hospitals. I retire:). She will be there in a few weeks working. Beemer riders here for 40+ years. California still a great place to ride and see, JUST do not live here if you like your money kept in your pocket!!! State is robbing us:(. We are ranch property owners here and need land of same in Boise area, horses and so on have to move with us. Think your DOGS are a match? I have pets too, just a few very large ones:). Wish you the best from Conn., to the West. You'll love it out here. I came from Virginia 35 years ago, California was picked and now time for another. Look forward to being there myself and have ridden most all of it thru the years, not so far from CAL.. Randy
 
More to ID Than Boise

I know this post is late but wanted to join others in ID with a welcome Steve. I'm up in Central ID (God's country), with many other BMW riders, our unofficial group: Heartland Moto Locos BMW riders. We live from McCall and Cambridge at the south to Grangeville in the north. I provide local service for a variety of BMWs. Most of our folks also frequent Big Twin so I'm sure we'll be crossing paths. If you're up our way, check the anonymous book under Pollock, ID. Ride easy and we hope to see you this spring.

Just fyi- The BMWSportttouring.com people just did an Un Rally in Moscow Id in the middle of June.

great roads and great times. BMWMOA's sister group would have liked to see more of the Idaho and close by States join in. 86 from across the country showed up out of the 90 some registered. just sayin.....
 
I live in eastern WA but ride in Idaho frequently. You are going to really enjoy the variety of riding and great people.
