Just remember that they're using the center garages this time around, so MTAG doesn't have to move all their shit into the north garages.

[MellowYellow]

Awsome, lookin foward to tomorrow for sure!!

[Epee]

I changed plans to go on over and meet up with y'all. So I'm in, no backing out.

It's not sounding like an all leathers, track plastics day pace, so I'll bring the big bike and me wifey so that I have those wonderful screams over the SENA helmet comm's to listen to on the leans.

She is planning on going to her office first and have me pick her up in Brattleboro, are we going through there or up from Keene to catch 91 to Killington way?

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of faces to put with screen names.

Weather still looks stellar!

Hate that it's such a slab up for some, thanks to those still committed to making it!

See y'all in Keene.

[Lxpony]

Look forward to riding with you again...

Dumb question, but is McDonald's in Keene on Winchester Rd or Winchester St? Their site only shows one on Winchester St, which is just off 12/110, whereas Winchester Rd is 119.

Please fill us in with details.

[MellowYellow]

Hey guys great ride today, very sorry for the mishap. I am ok a little sore, my nose, breast bone and tail bone feel the worst.
Yea I'm a newb to riding since April of this year. And relativly new on this forum.
I went into a left hander too hot paniced while leaned over grabbed a bunch of break, the bike imideatly straightened up and off I went into the soft shoulder.
The rider behind me musta target fixated (really i dunno) and went off right behind me and hit me. Him and his bike landed on top of me and my bike. Judging by the scrapes in the road and his rash I think he lowsided. I just drove straight off into the shoulder.
A blody nose and a few sore spots thats all thank god. Had full leathers on.
Damage to bike is not bad at all. Broken front faring & faring stay one mirror came off.
Luckilly I was able to ride home.
The other kid didn't fair so well wearing jeans and and no gloves rash on his knee and hand, his bike was totaled smashed front to back, had to get towed.

I know apoliges probally arn't needed but sorry for the carnage just the same. I will put up some pics as soon as I can. Goin down to start workin on it. Louden is next week.

[Epee]

You live, you ride, you've learned. You had the right gear on, you didn't take a ride in the meat wagon.
Such a bad feeling whippin' round a corner and seeing a bike binned up in the ditch. My best wishes to both of you to get things sorted out soon.

Everyone was so spot on, ignitions off, check for gas leaks, assess bodies, pick up bikes and make calls. We made the best out of a bad situation.

I'm glad you're still planning on making it to the track. Bikes, especially sport bikes, they're a process. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes the bug!

How much worse could it have been? I work in trauma units, I KNOW! You had full leathers on, full gear, SMART MOVE!

You would not have done so well with both bikes and other rider on top of you, in that ditch with less gear.

My wife and I both thought it was one bike, one rider, until we came back and saw you crawling out from under everything.

Get 'er fixed up, you know more now than you did before.

Glad everyone's ok.

In all honesty, this is why I have been avoiding big group rides this season. Just not into riding hot on the streets anymore. Too much to lose and really got a glimpse of losing it all one year ago today.

Jim, are you still gong to be able to make the TTD you were heading to next week?

[TDDragon]

Yeah glad everyone is OK. Couldn't believe that you both walked away pretty much unharmed from something like this (ie. bike dropping right on top of you).

Crazy though how many people I heard about going down lately on rides.

[MellowYellow]

Absoutley. Already worked on bike took other mirror off washed it rubbed out the scuffs. Emailed pics to Tony and posted on Born. I'll be there even if I have to wrench it Sunday night.
