    Berkshire ride from CT Sunday 5-27-07

    All Day run through the Berkshires

    9:30 AM in Suffield, Ct start... Duncan Donuts on 168

    Gassed; Pissed; Ass in Seat


    Paced to be medium to fast

    There will be car passing where able double lines, downtown but not around curves.

    Mostly small numbered roads heading North over up to Vermont.


    We had fun last year with a good turn out and no difficulties.

    We expect all bikes and riders to have proper paperwork...
    If there is a LEO stop and you get BS for this I have ZERO sympathy...just TTFN.

    Wish I could go...but I'm not sure how "fast" is fast for you guys. I'm being told I can keep up pretty good on medium-fast paces rides, but some riders are just WICKED fast, I'm not one of them, and I don't cross into the triple digits. lol

    You guys are in luck -- I have it on good authority that EVERY LEO in New England has got Sunday off this coming holiday weekend.

    Twist it!

    There's only one way to find out.

    PB's R6 is going to have to pass muster at the inpsection station this Saturday though. I think the Powers on the ZX10 are good for maybe one more weekend.

    Yeh LEO's got extra money for "Click it or Ticket"

    SO we do expect more roving armed tax collectors....

    Maybe I am off but would expect that Sunday was the less traveled day

    ChR1s would like to see you and P . We may actually have 2 groups that could logically shake out in the fast, Not so fast.

    I will plead extra caution as most of us including my self do not have a lot of miles under or belts so far this year.... maybe on deaf ears.

    Yeah, Sunday is likely the day to get out -- but early departure time from the congested areas is often key.

    We'll be taking the bikes out for a bit Saturday to see if they still run and if I can still ride. Not sure about Sunday yet though. If we do get out, we'll likely stop in at the Cow on the Roof and the Big Key. This is one of the heavy travel weekends for the part-time VT residents, so not sure how far north we'll be bothering with this early in the season for us.

    We made it to The Cow this late afternoon. Still heaps of sand to be found in the more funky areas. Rt.112 between Rt.143 & Rt.9 is crap, with some wheel swallowing pot holes. The Autobahn section is clean though, and no traffic when we hit it.
