Hi from Warwick

[katana0215]

I have heard good things and test rode an SV650 there. They wanted well over KBB value, and the bike wasnt perfect. So I walked. Probably could make a deal if I went back. I'm leaning torwards the GS though. Looking at a nice faired one tomorrow and there's a naked one out in Hartford as well.

Maybe tomorrow if all works out well. I havent been to the Oakland Beach place since I got serious, but the looked like they mostly had new or near-new bikes there. I'm a new rider, and I dont want to pay for shiny if the bike aint gonna stay shiny. Cheap and shiny is ok.

my guess is you are talking about the blue SV that has been there for over a year, and is probably 1000-1500 over nada

Also in Warwick here... right near Oakland Beach... The bike shop did move down the street closer to the beach but are no longer dealers... just a shop. hit me up if anyone is looking to ride... my roommate and i are both riders. B

Definitely the same SV. Doesn't matter, because I just bought a GS500F. It was an awesome ride home tonight. Just cooling off, very light traffic.


I might be in for a ride this weekend.

[katana0215]

cool man, congrats on the ride.

Thanks Man. I'm loving riding so far. I just wish there was an easy escape route from Warwick. 117 west is just nasty. Some of the roads out west seem better, but getting out there is awful.

Why does RI have no east-west highway?

New England for the most part has no East West highway except Rt 90(Mass Pike).

Just moved to Warwick about 3 months ago. Let me know if you wanna ride sometime as soon as you find the right one.

[fjrrider RI]

only rt 37 will help once you cross warwick

[ed]

Rt 37 eh? I'll have to check that out.

From where I am, 115 isn't as bad as 117. Although we did end up doing some impromptu stop-and-go clutch practice on Friday heading west. Definately need to check out 37.

I'm getting more confident and may be ready to go for a ride soon.

Rt 37 eh? I'll have to check that out.

Follow 37 to the end, take a right at the light.
Go to next light, take a left (up the hill)
At the next 4 way stop, take a right
Follow that to pippin orchard rd, take a right. (caution, fun road)
Follow that to rt 12 and left at the redlight
The fun could begin at the red blinking light at 12 and 116

I will be trying this as soon as the rain stops and I'm in town.

Thanks!

yeah those are some of the best we have to offer

I was so psyched to get out today that I forgot to try this out. Had to turn down Jello shots so I could ride. Took a cruise down So County Trail.

Maybe tomorrow morning if I can escape for a bit.

Welcome from another Ed in Warwick, i should have tried just the name first. Warwick is a great place to learn to ride, nothing like cornering doing laps around the Apponaug loop, and how can you not love Hoxie four corners at rush hour. Good luck with the search.

God damn it Ed, get back to breastfeeding those twins.............
