April 3rd SATURDAY open season ride..(rescheduled March 28th ride)

[DRock]

New to the forum and riding here. I have a 2009 Ninja 250, I know I know give me shit, and I have put around 200 miles on it over a couple weeks of riding. I was planning on going on this ride after I found out with a friend but I don't think he is going to be able to make it.

I am not about doing 100mph on the freeway, matter of fact my bike can't even go that fast, nor am I about dicking around and doing stupid shit. If you guys are going for a nice cruise with some good twisty riding then count me in, I won't be able to keep up if someone goes wide open on a straight but I will be right behind you guys in the corners.

I just want to make sure I am not going to get lost since I live out in Holliston and won't actually know anyone on the ride I don't think. I was planning on going up to the Kancamangus of the Taconic Trail Saturday but my friend had to bail due to work, so this would be a lot more fun and give me some good riding time.

Welcome, you won't get lost or left behind if Ray does his job as a leader. However please read The Pace.

While you're at it please read The ride rules.

Look forward to meeting you!

[DRock]

Just read them both and they sound good! I am planning on being there unless something comes up but I already cleared my day in anticipation of riding so I should be alright. I will be the guy with a red Ninja 250 and the black Shift Vertex jacket.

Hope to see you all there!

We might cross paths, but I'm heading for another ride in NW Mass, VT.

Welcome to you and your Ninja.

I was on a ride last year with 26 people and if I remember right, at least 3 of them were Ninja 250's (including what I was on) so don't sweat it. We look out for each other.

[sdog30]

let me know how many people your going with the night before the ride so that i can call in the morning and make reservations for how many people are gonna be there

Not sure who's going? I've had some maybe's...Anybody that is planning on meeting me in Amherst, post a quote of this post (did that make sense?)

Thanks.

[bluej511]

Thanks.

So I have ZERO people confirmed, so people might show up at the meeting spot. I have 4 maybe's. Maybe just tell them 20 ish people. They can always add chairs or take them away when we get to the restaurant.

Not every will eat there, too. They might split off and get pizza or something?

R117 was closed today between R27 and R126. The bridge between the two had about 18 inches of water flowing over it. Was there around 3:30 PM today(Friday).

I don't think you guys will lose me at all unless the group decides to go 100+ on the highway. My bike tops out at around 85-90 and I really don't see the need to go much faster on a group ride as the speed limits on most of the highways around here are 55. As for the twisties, they are my home so you won't have a problem there.

Looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow!

What the hell is a speed limit? Is that like a rev limiter?

[DRock]

Hahaha yeah kinda!

[FAST GSXR750]

Hahaha yeah kinda!

No fear, you'll have good time. lol. See you there.

[Ray-Ray]

Hey evryone please dont be late. As of now I dont really know how many people are going. People are giving yeses then no's. So I am just going to shoot a ballpark of 15. Sdogg. Shoot me your # bro. either way, There will be no major speeding. Just some fast cornering on twisties.

[The Snowman]

Have fun and be safe, there's a lot of shit on the roads from all the rain.

[Stiggy]

I'm coming from southern NH with myself and 2 other bikes (Duffy, Gjarret), confirmed.

[bluej511]

platypus thats what i thought. Im just going for a long twisty ride tomorrow morning, might run into you guys on 116 but ill either be there before you guys or after. Going to do rt9 in vermont, its so twisty and scenic.

[EJLemo]

Can you dig it!!!!! Meeting up with SDog in Amhurst see you all in NH.

why dont you just ride with us? we are doing same route pretty much
just backwards

[bluej511]

haha um the route u posted in the first thread im guessing is the route right? Its not even close to what im doing though, 122 is beautiful and twisty and rt9 is usually completely empty and twisty as HELL. Im not into cruising and going straight i get bored. Mine is around 250+miles or something. And besides rt117 always has traffic on it one of the reasons i dont ride it much.
