Leaving Florida.....

Hollywood · January 27, 2006, 01:46:26 PM

Well those of you that know me know I have been waiting months on a promotion to go thru. Well I finally got it. Me and the family will be relocating to Greenville, SC in a few weeks for my new Account Executive position. Sad to go and sorry to leave a lot of good friends behind but looking forward to many more places to ride and a lot more $$ to ride with.

I am in the process of looking for a large farm in the area to make our new home. If I find what I am looking for I'll have a very nice practice track and plenty of room for everyone to come visit sometime.

Congrats!! If you hear of any other controller/manager accounting jobs let me know, my wife is "looking" at other jobs out there. She has 10 years of exp. with the same firm here in Ohio and is currently a manager (can't say the name because they have offices in 3 cities in Forida) she doesn't like florida

but she does like the Carolinas & Ga. just thought I would throw this out at you.
Good Luck,

yunt2ride · January 27, 2006, 02:33:24 PM

Congrats on the promotion. It was fun riding with you what time we did. Sorry to see you go. Enjoy it.

Moose · January 27, 2006, 02:57:59 PM

Man I sure hate to see a friend go, but I would do it for the promotion also. Can't wait to hear from you when the dust settles and you have time to have some of us up to camp and ride. Enjoy it to the utmost Steve, life is to short not to.

LakeMaryKid · January 27, 2006, 03:04:35 PM

Damn steve, its fabulous you got the promotion man! Congrats, but im sad to see a good friend like you leave!!!! You will have to make a few trips down here to ride eh wait no where to ride. Well once i get a truck maybe a trip up north is needed. Stop in at your place then on to Luis's place in Tn. lol

TurboBanshee_kid · January 27, 2006, 03:22:25 PM

Good luck with the move. Have fun up in SC!!!!!!!!

From, David

backinsaddle · January 27, 2006, 03:50:16 PM

sorry I never got a chance to ride with you...I suspect you'll find much better riding areas in that neck of the woods...good luck to you and yours

z400stunter · January 27, 2006, 03:51:46 PM

I'm jealous. Good luck. How much is an average house in that area?

Ida_Mann · January 27, 2006, 04:45:12 PM

Mrs.Nightbreed · January 27, 2006, 06:45:04 PM

Well I would say I am glad to hear about your promotion and good luck and all but ...that would be a lie...

WHO SAID YOU CAN LEAVE

You can't just up and go like That!

Miss you already

Have fun and be safe! Let us know when you get settled and maybe when we come through that way we will stop in a ride for a day or 2

T2 · January 27, 2006, 07:55:27 PM

Congrats on the promotion Steve, like everyone else said, sad to see you go, but I am looking at the postive side to this, now we have a place to go in SC, and you can scout out the good riding spots and than plan some group rides up there. Let us know when you are leaving, mabe we can plan one more group ride B4 you leave the state. Well Good luck with CSE.

Congrats steve, on all accounts, stay in touch. Many Blessings you and your family.

eric · January 28, 2006, 08:11:16 PM

Wishing you the best Steve and hoping we meet again.

Here's a pic you might remember. Good times my friend!

Da_Mtg_Man · January 28, 2006, 08:34:32 PM

Does anybodu have any of him hitting a tree. I'm sure there's some out there. I know at least 3 times....

Congrats Steve. If you conduct yourself at work like you do out in public then you definitely deserve the promotion. You are one heck of a stand up guy.

whos this guy?

[attachment deleted by admin]

Hollywood · January 29, 2006, 11:12:01 AM

Thanks to all you guys. No worries I'll still be a regular on here and still be coming down for a ride once in a while...probably while it's to darn cold to ride up there! There have been some great times and yes there have been more than a few tree instances. lol I should know more by the 1st of the week as far as when I am leaving so I'll know if I am going to have time to get a ride in b4 I go. If not I'll come back for one after we get settled in.

BTW I am looking for an enclosed trailer before I leave so if anyone see's one let me know. 7'x16'-18', V-nose, tandem, brakes and ramp door..preferably around $3500.

Honda328i · January 29, 2006, 02:12:45 PM

NOOOOOO! You can't leave! Who is going to take pictures for Dirt Wheels now?

Congratulations on the promotion, you will go far. I'm happy for you.

Just make sure that farm you buy has no trees! Take care my friend, happy trails. :W

It would be great to do a last ride again in ONF, like the ones we used to do off of 88. Before Steve leaves and before the forest gets closed down. When is your last day in FL?

My last day here looks like it will be the 13th of Feb. but I will have to come back after that for some of my stuff and sometime before I ride I have to get a new clutch put in the quad. Soon as I know what a giood date is we will get in one last ride with everyone for the road.

Moose · January 30, 2006, 09:22:43 AM

It would be nice to see you and the family again before you leave. Looking forward to the ride, when ever it is.

GreggT · January 30, 2006, 12:07:20 PM

Gonna miss you, bro. Give our best to C and H. We'll come ride with you when you scope out the trails.

Glad I got to meet ya man ! Good luck !!

:ThumbsUp.gif

Hollywood · February 08, 2006, 12:24:54 PM

Thanks Quad! You too bro!

Well got most of my orders. I will be leaving for Greenville this weekend going to work a week or 2 while I am trying to find a house then I will be coming back to get all the quads and stuff and heading up there with the family.

I will also be picking up my new enclosed trailer Friday so the quads will have a safe place during the move. Ordered a 7x16 enclosed v-nose TransHaul with all the goodies for a smoking deal I could not turn down.

Moose · February 08, 2006, 12:36:08 PM

Good to hear Steve. When you have an idea what you want, trailer type, you won't be happy unless you get exactly that. I think you'll be happy with the V-nose type. Good luck up there and keep me informed.

450R_Matt · February 08, 2006, 11:03:22 PM

Good times, good friends. Going to miss ya brother.

Hollywood · February 11, 2006, 06:03:22 PM

Moose- No worries bro we will keep in touch. The trailer came out GREAT....it pulls like a dream too. Can't really go hauling ars cause of the wind shear even with the V but it'll pull steady around 73 or so.

Matt- No doubt lots of good times! We'll hook up though...Durham town is less than 2hrs. from where we'll be.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Hollywood · February 11, 2006, 06:06:29 PM

It is so nice having the enclosed. Been working on the inside since Friday...tile is down, shelves are up, toolbox mounted etc. I'lltake some pics tomorrow when I get done.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Moose · February 11, 2006, 08:39:20 PM

Looks great there Steve, I know you'll be happy with it.

T2 · February 11, 2006, 10:14:38 PM

Nice trailer Steve, glad you picked one up.

Hollywood · March 02, 2006, 06:12:09 PM

Well we are here and I have my beloved internet back finally! WoooHooo Now haven't been on the quad in 4 weeks and it is killing me. On the plus side it is absolutly beautiful here. Foothills and mountains everywhere. Have 3 MX tracks within 30 minutes of the house and about 10 more within 2hrs. Durhamtown is only maybe 3 hrs tops probably less. Plenty of OHV trails all over and much friendlier than Ocala.

Bigscrb15 · March 02, 2006, 07:12:04 PM

Spartanburg is awesome!!! My grandfather was born there and we have our family reunions there.

Rodman Dam, Hollywood took my quad across the pit at near 65mph to see the difference between his engine and mine,,,I asked him to go again so I could get a picture.

Hollywood · March 03, 2006, 01:41:29 PM

You guys just don't know what your missing! lol

Moose- Bring it brother plenty of cool places to ride...Sumter NF has about 3 OHV areas that aren't very far and lots of elevation changes in the terrain. I am sure there are some places up in the mountains to go too just got to figure out where. Can't wait till hunting season NC is one of the top places for Black Bear in the country...over 1500 were taken last year. Can't wait ti try out the 45-70 on one of them. Once I bag one of those I am headed to BC for a Bruin or Grizz.

Leaving Florida.....
