    New guy Boston North Shore - back riding after 30 years

    So, two years ago, kids moving out, decided to ride again. Got a used DRZ400SM and learned a bit (amazing how much I didn't know long ago on my RD350). Kinda got hooked again. Last year, got a 2009 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750.

    Often a solo rider. Sometimes groups are fun. It'd be fun to find some others to ride with. Don't like parades though. Don't like really loud pipes. Avoid the slab unless needed. 100-200 mile days.

    I survived my teens and 20's doing dumb stuff (e.g. late night sidewalk motorcycle racing through the back bay). Much saner now (limit +10-15, well, mostly).

    Folks at Seacoast take care of my bike - wonderin' if the rides out of Seacoast are sane or semi-sane.

    Welcome from Boxford (where the roads are terrific... except for one particular 20mph left-hander).
