[last night's ride report] Routes 133 & 97 in MA

[spicy]

Just went for a spin last night with ff36buell and TLRMan on routes 133 and 97 down to 1A. Great roads, nice a sweeping twisties, and they have just repaved a hefty chunk of it.

It's a little more north and (eventually) south than my usual stomping grounds, but I'm seriously considering adding it to the list. Got some nice load on the engine (nothing major, still in break-in), but some decent moderate-accel runs in 4th and 5th gear from 35-55 or 60ish.

Put on almost 100mi last night with them on my new '07 SV650S. TLRMan had to leave a little early, so ff36buell and I met up with my brother and girlfriend and a buddy of mine at Richardson's in Middleton and got the new tires a little worked in on the twisties around there/north reading.

So if anyone saw a group of riders with a buell and an SV650S (and either a bumblebee frankenstein-TLR, or a black CBR600RR and a red Ninja 250, 'twas us).

Looking forward to doing it again, and now I'm at about 175mi on the bike . Can't want to rack up more...

The entire north shore (including the roads listed) are my usual stomping grounds. They certainly aren't the best roads, but for the area they're fun. I'm pretty sure I've seen TLRman more than once riding around there.

We should try and drive the road to Wingersheek (sp?) beach sometime. It's a very tight road, but even at a safe pace (and an off-time) it would be a ball.

Once I'm back from London we'll have to go out...
