    New Rider, new to New England

    Just got my first introduction to Loudon. Still speechless. A lot of fast riders and a track (surface) unlike any I've ever seen. And I thought skiing Tuckerman's would be the wildest thing I'd do in New England.

    Native southerner, long-time road rider, new woods rider. What do they say: mix gas, haul ass?!

    glad to be up here.

    Husqvarna TE 300i, actually I spend more time picking it up. Have been riding it at Hop Ev and Jericho.

    And a track only GSXR 750 that is a better bike than the rider. Built by KWS Motorsports in Charleston, SC.

    Bought a Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer to ride with the neighbors but think that bike is on the way out - can't get use to the seating position of an adventure bike. It was my concession to old age but I can't get on the weight, size and seating position.

    Welcome! I just picked up a TE300i last week, to upgrade from a 150 XC-W. Hope to see you at some Tony's Track Days, or at Loudon for NEMRR. The 100th Loudon Classic is coming up in a couple weeks, and some NESRians (myself included) are throwing our hats in the ring with the pros.

    Charleston, SC so great access to Roebling Road and Road Atlanta. Both tracks with super fast sweeping turns.

    Sounds like maybe you need the new KTM 890 SMT...

    Welcome! KWS did some work on my R6 back in the day, wonder if we ever bumped into each other at some tracks down south. Surprised to hear about the Tiger 1200, I have 60k miles on my Gen 1.
