Relocated to Hawaii my Kat-friends

[Cruisingram]

Had an unexpected economic downturn, and have relocated to Hawaii to lick my wounds and start life anew. Will be opening a motorcycle shop here in the next year, hopefully before the year is up and over. Live near Hilo, HI now, year round riding, but pretty wet where I live. However, drive a half hour, different weather- killer micro-ecology here!

Will be bringing all my bikes and tools over here sometime in the next six months, have a whole container full of crap, basically, my entire bike shop with ten bikes minus four walls.

Haven't been here in a while, currently bike-less, but hope to remedy that soon. Just now getting my head above water- it can be tough!

are you hiring once you open your shop?

[ZukiFred]

Well good for you, sounds like you are going to do great with the positive attitude you have.
Best of luck to you on the new business.

The big island has lots of climates- wet, desert, even arctic (go to the top of the mountain for the glaciar!)
Don't forget to visit Ken's House of Pancakes in Hilo. If you fall in love with the pancakes, I can get you the recipe (hint: it is the Clabber Girl recipe- yum!).

My ma-in-law bought breakfast there this morning LOL- I built my ma a house here back in 2000 , so that was the best place for me to move to, 'cause I had a place to live- I was stuck in Reno, NV when everything came apart, and I used my last 1200 bucks to move my family to Hilo and into my Ma's house. Took two weeks to get two jobs, and I was off and running. Now I have one good job, with all the hours I can handle to get back on my feet. now, I have to save about 6000 bucks to get my shop moved here, so that is my #1 goal. I have moved out of my Ma's house (she only lives there seasonally) after about 3 months, and have a nice little place in Pahoa, HI, but am moving again closer to Hilo and work next month- the Kaumana region right above Hilo.

So, I am working on my own personal bail out and recovery as we speak, hope to be back in the game in less than a year. Good lord willing and the creek don't rise.

No $hit? Let me know if you are having a yard sale, I live in Carson City, was just up in Reno today to pick up my tape deck from repair.
Tell you what, you'll miss the rides around here- I got a '11 C14 two weeks ago, rode it from CO to here in two days, then went to Eureka, CA on it for a few days, nice weather in the redwoods, would've taken high way 1 from Monterrey to Pismo, but the 101 got a massive mudslide.

Only thing I left there were two motorcycles on consignment from the company I WAS contracted to do business with, before my investor f'd us all up. One is a two fitty, and is for sale, the other one is to be crated up and shipped to me once a sale is made. In fact- thanks for reminding me, gotta call the consignor LOL
