We are hoping to get to one small vehicle and live with walking to where we are going or riding our bicycles everywhere. We really haven't decided on a city or state for that matter, but we are working on making some plans for 2010 after our youngest daughter is in college. I think what you are doing is something we want to try and push ourselves to do more of.

My problem is that I am a motorcycle person and currently own three motorcycles for myself. One is for my wife to ride on the back (Kawasaki Voyager XII), one for me (Suzuki SV650S) and a KTM 250SX for riding the local single track trails with some friends. I would probably have to drop to one motorcycle or none and that might be really hard for me. I also have a 30 x40 garage for my toys, so that will be hard to give up also.
