Well after spending 25 years in the Granite State I certainly tired of the winters and finicky spring/summers. Yes, it is a beautiful state in which to ride with the choice of urban, mountains and seacoast. Yes, being an income tax free and sales tax free state is wonderful (MN is a killer, worse than MA or CT!) but the year round sun and pick your climate, state of AZ calls! And, having already ridden numerous times in the sunshine state, it has some great geography, from the desert, to clear lakes, buttes, mountains and forests.
