    New guy here on the northshore.

    Finished my MSF course 4 weeks ago (in the rain) I'm a first time rider (havent even been on a bicycle in 10 years)

    picked up my honda CBR F4i 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it. Havent really had much riding time due to the rain but I'm back on track now.

    just looking for some people to meet up with and ride


    I'm originally a car guy, you may have seen my car in the area before. Its a dodge srt4



    I also drive a primered flat black tahoe.

    (no pics right now)

    and now an F4i

    Hey dude, welcome to the forum. What part of the North Shore are you from? I'm in Topsfield & there's a few others in the area.

    I'd hapily ride with you if you're lookin for someone to ride with & learn from.... not that I can teach you much, but I've got the titles that say I can

    I've seen that car before... there's a crew of roughly 300 of them that all park in Worcester on weekends in some shady parking lot looking to race anything that drives by

    Sorry, couldn't help it. I never understood the SRT-4 thing, it's a Neon. I just don't get it.

    Welcome, you'll find a wealth of info here, good groups to ride with, and more sarcasm and vulgar jabs than you can shake a stick at.

    I'll give a little credit to Pete on this one... he had some good hints for better control on shitty roads.... I tried it and it worked... I guess he almost knows what hes talking about!!!

    ...
    Welcome!! I'm not too far from you... hit me up if you're ever north of the border... I don't do much riding in Mass... honestly just dont think the riding is that great down there :-(

    I guess some people have never seen what an SRT 4 with the right money spent in the right places will do.

    Re: New guy here on the northshore.

    Welcome to the forum. I am from Haverhill. I am always looking for another to go on a spirited rip. I know all the good roads on the North Shore and in South East New Hampshire. I used to race around in my b18 civic but that is just too slow now:-)

    the time passes quickly once you hit 31! Then you'll be telling tales about your "great riding days" and how the wind blew you off the road, was that on HMR??

    yeah i've been down to the worcester meets like once or twice, I'm in a league of my own and dont bother with those guys.

    its a neon and i've come to terms with that, she's not everyones cup of tea but she's been with me through some hard times.

    479?? WoW! Check out the rides and events forum. Varying degree of skill set. Novice to expert. Me, I would do a somewhere in between. New bike for me too.

    Hey Rich, welcome to the site. Good to see you actually posting on a forum again.

    If you don't remember me by username...
