Afternoon, gents.
I live just outside of Athens, Georgia and have been researching the different clubs in my area. They just don't seem to be a good fit for me. I've been pokin' around the UC forum and it's seems like a good group to link up with. I especially like the service efforts mentioned on your website.
A little about me...
I'm 42 with a wife, 10yo daughter and 8yo son. We're newish to cruiser ownership, but have had exposure to LCs beginning when my friend in high school got a new 80 series in '96 for her birthday (lol) and another friend picked up an old silver 60 when we were seniors. In 2013 when my 00 Suburban was totaled I decided a 100 series would be the replacement. I scoured the nation looking for the right one - even walked away from a 03 in Thundercloud with 98k on the clock over $1000. Asking price was $14,999

(if we could go back to those prices!). Up against the clock with having to drive a rental, I settled on a 2004 Z71 Suburban that has done everything I've expected of it.
Fast forward to 2018... It was time to start searching for a new vehicle for my wife. She fell in love with the 200s and we started casually looking. It took over a year, but we found a great deal on a low mile 16. Just last week I picked up an amazing 13 after a 10 month search. And here we are!
A few questions, if I may...
Do you accept members from out of state and what would y'all say the ratios are of the club in terms of models? Some clubs don't appear to really have a good representation of 200 owners, which is fine of course, but it seems like there's a prejudice there among the guys who own 100s and older.
Thanks for the time!
