Landed a new job back home!

[burkbuilds]

I've been driving (over 100 miles) to Atlanta for two years now to work and go to college. Last week a company 20 minutes from my home ran an add for pretty much the

same job I do in Atlanta. I applied and got the job! Same pay, but I won't have to maintain an apartment in Atlanta anymore, (which isn't exactly cheap) and I will spend

about 5 hours less each week commuting back and forth. I signed up to take all of my college classes on line, so I should only have to go to campus twice per semester to

take the exams. I am really looking forward to being home with my wife and family every night. That might not sound like much to some people, but I am really excited

about it. After two years of being a weekend husband and dad, being a daily part of my family's life seems like winning the lottery.

I bought my Vulcan 500 new the Summer of 2009 and I've put right at 40,000 miles on her since then. Once I get back home to stay, I think that type of yearly mileage

will bite the dust. Probably won't put 10,000 miles on her in the next year or so. That's okay, most of those miles were just running the super slab, not exactly the most

enjoyable way to put miles on your bike in my opinion. I'm looking forward to having a little more time to run some mountains around home and take a few more back roads

just for the pleasure of riding, not just as a way to reach a destination. :2tup:
