Pittsfield Forest (MA) Aug 4/5

    Pittsfield Forest (MA) Aug 4/5

    Anyone interested in an easy ride this Saturday or Sunday (Aug 4/5)?

    I stress EASY. I'll likely be with Renee and it will be both of our first times back out in the dirt.

    I'd prefer Saturday as there are less people out there, but we're flexible.

    You should have a MASS off road plate, or a street plate. I say should because there is always the chance you won't get stopped, but you never know.

    With 4 days to go, you should be able to grab an offroad plate by then.

    He broke his tibial plateau. OUCH! Knee immobilized walking with a cane. ALL guest riders on my dirtbikes will be required to wear knee guards and elbow guards.

    What's with this easy talk, Mister ex-Pro-MX guy?

    Sunday might be a possible with us. BTW, is Renee's bike road legal?

    ex-MX... yes. PRO? definitely NO!!!


    Renee's bike is only off road legal right now. Now that I'm a bit more confident with the electrical end of things, I will be putting the kit on hers when I get a moment. I already did the tires, so just need the kit and a chain guard and some reflectors.

    OK.. tentative plan for Renee and I is SUNDAY at Pittsfield Forest... usual parking area... ready to ride for 10:30.

    I'll find the google maps for the "usual area" if you haven't been there and post it up.

    We'll be sticking mainly to the fireroads for the first hour or two. After that, we'll probably hit some of the easier trails. If others join us, then we'll make decisions based on the group ability... or we can always split into two groups.

    Bring lots of fluids... supposed to be a hot weekend.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    takes two seconds at pretty much any DMV office. There are other posts floating around about the specific procedures. I know I did it recently with SAX and it was a breeze (even easier if he had a CHECK)

    Lightbulb re: Mass. ORV registration

    The Mass. DMV does not register off-road vehicles, the DLE does. The Springfield DLE location just happens to be housed in the same building as the DMV.

    Yup, that's the issue. i have to go into boston and everytime I've made the attempt traffic is so bad they're closed by time I get there. Maybe i can find time for a lunch excursion sometime soon.

    Ahhh....thanks for correcting that Chris. I always thought they were in all the DMV's.

    Jay... just come out here and do it. No lines...no traffic.

    I'll check for the map of the parking area now...

    Use Google Maps and type in:

    shamrock blvd, pittsfield, ma


    The parking area is on the LEFT side, about 1 mile past the little checkin hut.

    Remember, ready to ride for 10:30 (so don't be rolling in at that time)

    Sure, we can meet up at Friendly's... leave there by 9AM.

    Anyone else that's not sure how to get there is welcome to join us. (Exit 3 off Mass Pike... Friendlys is directly ahead when you get off the exit. Meet out back by the ATM "hut".)

    Just rode after a two week break. My ass was kicked in just an hour. I was just hangin on after a while. Serious blisters from the death grip. I'm definitely taking the KDX to the forest. That KTM is an animal.

    Exit 3, the Westfield exit is 4 miles past the exit for RT91 in West Springfield.

    The Lee exit is exit 2 and that exit is the exit of which you may be referring to. It's about 25 miles past Exit 3. So, don't miss Exit 3 or you will be driving for a long time before you can turn around.
