Moving to NORFOLK VA, how many months of riding can I expect

[riccoh]

Well just got the news today that I will be relocating in 9 months to VA. after spending 7 years in Hawaii, really looking forward to mainland living butwill loose on the year round ridding, and trying to make a decision on the toys, should i take them there knowing that I will be at sea and not much riding or should I get rid of them here while I can get a good roll on the dice as far as selling? I already have a guy looking at my 07 tomorrow and I have an offer on my 10?
If you are in the VA let me have your opinion

I'm a couple hours north of VA, and you can ride all year as long as there's no snow, but it is cold. Some people just use heated gear. For me there's maybe a couple of okay days in November. Than I usually don't ride from December to February, and then you'll get a few okay days in late March. So about 7-8 months of riding weather.

I'd DEFINITELY keep at least 1 of your bikes (no 2010's here, you'd be the only one you lucky %$W@#$), because VA has some REALLY NICE roads !!

You could probably make a killing on your 2010 if you sell it after the move. VA gets plenty of good riding weather.

I was stationed at Fort Story(VA Beach) from July 2006 to June 2008. I rode pretty much all year although Dec, Jan, and Feb were hard because of the cold and the wind. I only rode a couple of days during those months.

Thank you all for the info.. i will def bring at least the 2010, I do have a buyer right now that is willing to pay my asking price ... but I'm leaning into taking her with me.

I live about 2 miles west of Norfolk in the Shenandoah valley. I started riding this year around the beginning of April, and look to ride into early Nov. Thats here in the valley. Should be a bit warmer toward the coast. Like was said before, some really good riding here in Va and neighboring states. Beautiful scenery too.... Welcome..........
