June 28th Ride - MA/NH/VT

[DucDave]

I'm out....weather looks crappy and I'm still wasted from 3 days at Calabogie.

Have fun!

[Wishbone]

I think that's a great idea.....if we are gassed up
and ready to roll at 745 or 8 we'll be all set.

Wishbone....you got this?

Well when and where are we gonna meet up? When I left from my place on bell hill it would take me 30-45 mins to mm

[R-S-V]

Well fuck me I'm out of this one afterall. Was supposed to be back from NJ today but am still here, will not be back in MA until tomorrow.

Have fun, I'll catch the next one.

[The Snowman]

I'll be slabbing it up from Bellingham on 495, anyone heading that way? I hate doing that shit alone.

Rob, should I bring your tie-downs? Oh wait, the Gixxer doesn't have shit for room in that tail section.

i would be very disappointed.

anyway bigshel lie. there is no good loop. it's just a loop.

so as usual we should head down to trail from 100 becuase after that it's not really good but i guess we don't wanna take 8a. we can do 112 and put us about 10miles east but we might run into ambush. not much option. we have to include 116... only half hr and i wont miss it this time.

ok who's leading?

[KillBill]

Rob, should I bring your tie-downs? Oh wait, the Gixxer doesn't have shit for room in that tail section.

He's got an 848 now

[KillBill]

John - you meeting me still at Mobil?

[The Snowman]

He's got an 848 now

Whaaaat? Since when?

[The Snowman]

Well, started to wheel the bike out of the garage to find it spiting out. Not going to ride through 30 minutes of that crap at BEFORE the ride starts.

I'm out.

BTW, from the MA line south, the chance of rain has bumped up to 50% after 1pm.

Have fun.

[KillBill]

[Nate Dawg]

I'll be leaving my place around 11. I might slab it up and see if I can meet you guys somewhere along the way.

[tWeEzy]

damn this rain, im going back to bed

[BigShel]

Well Guys it looks like the ride is off, its raining here in Bedford, this shit sucks.We will have to try again.

[Cheese]

Heading to MM to meet those that might still be up for a ride.

[jRhino]

im still in, see you guys there,,

[slammp]

I'm here. Got wet. Ran over a squirrel but I am riding today. Sorry to miss some of you guys. But I can't sit at home another day.

[DynoTune]

mist/fog here as well.... everything wet... and dark...

[Kham]

was about to head out and !@#$%

oh well.

[BigShel]

I showed up and the ride was a little wet but we still manage to hit the RC Road and the Townsend National Forest Raceway. Then it got really wet. Bill, Cheese and the other 2 hardcore rain riding Nesrians pushed on. How was the rest and again this weather Sucks Big Dick. When I run into that chick MotherNature I'm beating her ass.

[yellosuzku]

I was gonna join this ride til a co-worker of mine called me last night to meet him for a ride. Left my house at 630 went to Richmond, NH to meet up with him and we did a solid 252 miles with little rain and some nice sun out in NY. Very foggy in North Adams and only drizzled on us, I guess I'm pretty lucky I was further west and missed the rain you guys ran into!

[Wishbone]

I wish I could have pushed on too. When I got home and let the bike cool I only lost a very small amount of coolant. It appears only to be when I shut off the bike or put it in neutral that it leaks (only when the pump is not spinning) . After checking out the fz1 forums I realized that I didn't use a special agent on one of the gaskets that seal up the impeller of the water pump. So I need to buy another $3 gasket and 4$ gasket sealer junk then take the whole @*^%$ing thing back apart and redo my work.FML.

It was nice to see a few old faces and meet so new guys.

It was also nice to go over RC road for the first time in a few years, and after I have been to the track. It really put into perspective the things I have learned over the past few years of seat time.

Hope the other four guys had fun

[slammp]

we are in Pittsfield by right now and it's sunny. We did
A couple hundred miles so far and still need to loop around to head back. Shel you missed a hell of a ride.

[slammp]

well nothing comes free. I got jammed in traffic compng back on 93 after we all split up and them the sky just unloaded on me. Like 45min in absolute torrential down pour. Up to that point the rode was great. I think we did more than 350 miles up to Vt and back.
