    That sounds like a great conversation you had, too bad it has absolutely nothing to do with riding motorcycles therefore making your statement irrelevant. How about basing a decision on something tangible...
    I'm sorry you were unable to make the connection. And appoligize for offending you. Apparently your response, to the request for advice on Riding in New England, is to move to California. Excellent plan and I'm sure that will be helpful.

    EDIT: I thought the OP copped the attitude to DucDave. It wasn't - it was Jeff-6R. But I'll leave my posts so you all can gloat at my Interwebz reading comprension failure. I pm'd jtryz to apologize.


    never mind - see below
    Here's a suggestion: when you post a thread asking for help and advice, assume that the people replying are genuinely trying to be helpful.

    Send a PM, get on your bike and go meet some of them before copping the attitude. They have friends and local knowledge, two things it appears you could benefit from.

    Jeff, I used to live in Central Mass and moved up to Southern Maine for school but I go back home once in a while. You can trailer your bike to my house, about an hour and a half towing from Boston and then we can go out sometime and rip up RT2 West, AKA Mohawk trail. I did a nice trip the other weekend that ended at about 250 miles, From Templeton (where I live) to Springfield, back up to pitsfield, to the mohawk, then down 116, and back up to RT2. Not a bad ride good for a day of riding. I will let you know when I am around back in town and we can check it out. It would be nice to rip it up with a 675er too!
