This is the bike i got for fathers day and put it up on the lift with only 20 miles on it.

The tear down

Beautiful collection and nice lift. If only we all were so fortunate to have a similarly outfitted garage.

Thanks idaho, we are thinking of moving to Idaho, maybe the Eagle or meridian area. My brother lives in Boise. its just so clean there.
We will have to ride if we make it, well be there in sept. to look around for jobs and homes

I agree with Idaho_Thrux, nice bike and mods DRTYRAT30, I'm jealous of your set up, and I'd KILL to have a shop and lift like that or a shop like 4Triumph. I've got a barn with a gravel floor, cracker box and every hand tool a poor boy could need. Its hell to be poor!

I have to agree with you there DRTYRAT... lookin good! Loose the front reflectors and I promise not to tell. If you're a serious rider (and I think you are) you'll probably want to upgrade the suspension next. Adding progressive fork springs is a major benefit IMO.

Drtyrat, you do have one nice looking ride there (I posted my first response before you posted your after pics). It is indeed pretty nice here. I live near Eagle. House's are cheaper than California, but then again wages are a bit less too. If, however, you have equity on your current house, you should be able to do pretty well here. Let me know what industry you are in and I would be more than happy to give you a bit of direction in where to look for work.

Well, i do road construction for the last 10 years, for the city i live in. But i'm trained in alot of different things. i do have about 80k in my home to use. Just want a nice place to raise my 9 year old.
Thanks for the help

Regarding where to look for work, here are a couple good places to start that would be in your current line:

http://www.mcalvain.com/ (Construction company that does a lot of major roadwork projects)

http://www.achd.ada.id.us/Default.aspx (Ada County Highway District)

With all the residential construction going on in this area, there also should be a lot of opportunities with smaller private engineering firms that are putting in road infrastructure for planned developments.

Regarding where to look for housing, you might also want to check out Middleton and Star. Smaller towns a bit further out, but you can buy more for the money.

In general the schools are pretty good here (especially the Meridian district which includes the schools in Meridian, Eagle, and Star).

Thanks, My wife is in Banking and can Transfer to Bosie with her work. so i will have some time to look around. My brother is in real estate investing so i could tag alog with him also. I'm up for a change i have been operating equipment for a long time. We really like Mountain view high school and all the meridian schools so far. we will be there labor day weekend to visit and to prospect. I love Golf also maybe find a place on a course.
Thanks for your time,
