Nashville was a bust between what they were offering and not a lot of moto close by, so I passed. A Buick/GMC/Cadillac dealer in Tallahassee reached out to me on Friday and it seems the money is there, comparable cost of living and moto tracks close by. I think there was like 3-4 that pulled up on goggle real close by. Anybody have any insight into the area?

My GF lives up there currently. Nice elevation changes for FL. Not a whole lot of moto places though. Turns from really nice to really sketchy pretty fast.

The trick is to be outside of Tallahassee. As someone who grew up there and loves it, I will say I would visit before making that decision

If you are looking to move, Jacksonville, FL and Daytona have a handful of 4 and 5 star rated dealerships that are constantly busy.
Tracks with in an hour and half:

North Florida, Okefenokee MX, Pax Trax, Waldo, Hardrock, Spyder, Orlando MX

Tallahassee isn’t the best for moto. We drove 2-3 hours to race. I would suggest Jacksonville or Tampa area

Lived there for over 20yrs, North side of town is where you want to be whoever said no elevation change does't know Tally well, It's the only place in FL that does have elevation and is mostly a sandy clay base not just bottomless sand like the rest of the state. There as many Pros living and training in and around Tally as anywhere else and has multiple training facilities just a short drive away.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The recruiter that contacted me also has two Cadillac dealers in Jacksonville and St. Augustine that hes working on putting me in contact with so I will check out those two areas as well.

Also how is the Mtn. biking in those areas?

Not done yet, sadly. I had to work last weekend so I didn't have anything to update. I'm working on getting some small things lined up this week to try and knock out though.

Figures that would be the case with moto a long drive away.

There is a decent amount of private tracks around the area though, so try and make some friends. Go visit some car washes and see who you might run into. Wink
