    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Went for a 100+ mile mid-day tour today, stopped in Shirley MA to remove some layers as the temps went from 60 toward 80. Jeez, my helmet looks kinda big, likes it's a size 5XL or something, and it appears to be floating, levitating ... .

    Last week I went out three or four times on the Guzzi, nice ridin' weather.

    Kerry and I did the loop through Greenfield up to Cosby's place and back down 116 yesterday. A quick but classic ride. Weather was beyond perfect!

    I’m glad the “Ninjette” is getting used a lot more than it was before you saved it.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    I got out for the first time in a couple weeks this morning, took the Husky to the Rutland prison camps and rode around there for a bit. Mostly just testing out the TuBliss system I installed over the weekend and my new tires, thumbs up on both.

    I rode to Boston and back, for work. First time I think. 40s before 5am, and boy does Storrow suck. Surprisingly fast traffic both ways though.

    Off-road but my new tires are way better on the road than the Bridgestone E50’s the bike came with, so definitely the sportiest street riding I’ve done with this bike. Even on brand new tires, so much more confident on the street, pretty good off road too.

    I do want to pick up a sumo wheel set at some point…

    Up on to a scale. Exactly 100lbs lighter than what I weighed my 1290 Super Adventure at.

    It’s nothing special, mostly fast gravel unless you want to go around gates and avoid the rangers. Kinda fun though, it takes me about 15-20 min to get there, it’s my go-to if I want to see a little dirt but don’t have much time. I ride my Scrambler there too, so you know it’s nothing too crazy.

    Everytime I’ve headed to Hodges the gates have been closed, bad timing I guess. I might give it a try next weekend, I think I’m going to go camping in the Berkshires on the Scrambler this weekend.

    What gate? The one right here?

    That's just for the quarry itself, not for the trails. The Army Corps of Engineers opened the trails about two months ago. You can go around that gate without issue.

    Check here for confirmation. https://www.facebook.com/HodgesVillageDam/

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Going camping in north west CT or south west MA tomorrow afternoon. I was going to take the Scrambler, but I think I’ll test out my 501 as ultralight adv. Planning to check out the trans mass trail for a scenic ride and then just explore the rest of Saturday looking for dirt. If anyone knows any decent legal trails or unmaintained roads in the area and wants to share them, please do. Or if anyone knows a more fun route in the area than the TMT. The bike is ohv registered.

    i grew up camping at Macadonia Brook State Park, great spot off Rt 7 in Kent. i love that whole upper corner from there north to Great Barrington. used to live out there in Lee and work in Monterey. tons of nice backroads between the two areas. if you focus ~NWCT, Kent has great lunch spots and cool atmosphere. prob won't want to go much further south.

    BUT, for some 501 ADV action, try to get a GPS from the "Best of the Berks ADV" ride that went down last wknd. 80 route more towards Otis, but might have some nice nugs to hit.

    otherwise the state forests in the SWMA area are fun if you have OHV. October Mountain, Beartown, Pittsfield.

    EDIT: forgot to mention that you can camp at October but it's a crappy little area. only benefit is you can jam right out of the campground, right on Woodland then up Schermerhorn and explore anything from dirt roads to seriously rocky singletrack.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    This was kind of last minute and now I’m realizing its Memorial Day weekend and all the campgrounds I was thinking of are full… Might just have to make it a day trip and try again next weekend. Still a few more campground to check out, we shall see…

    EDIT: Found a campsite quite a ways away from what I initially intended, but it’ll do as a base camp.

    A brisk 40 degrees when I shoved off this morning. Temps soared to 50 by the time I rolled into the shop...

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    I rode yesterday to my doc appointment in Portsmouth, stopped at Rochester Motorsports to get my scooter inspected, and today, dropping off my K-pipe for inspection & new tires and picking up my UTV at the same time.

    Yeah this week is a too cold (for me) 40s in the morning, but a gorgeous 60s in the afternoon.

    Next week is a more acceptable 50s in the morning, but a more SWASS 80s in the afternoon.

    50 is my normal cut-off this time of year. But the last cling-on's car is in the shop and I felt like being a nice guy and let him use my truck the last couple days. The Corvette won't be on the road for another couple weeks, so I sucked it up.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Rode the 501 a couple hours west to the only campsite I could find on short notice: the KOA. I’m mostly a state park camper and was not quite prepared for all of… this. BUT I will be spending as much of tomorrow as possible hunting down dirt trails and unmaintained roads, downloaded a few gpx tracks as backup plans. Camping tomorrow night too and home Sunday morning. Giant Loop Coyote, Rogue, small tank bag, and Klim Nak Pak were able to fit a comfortable setup, and I hardly noticed they were there.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Ended up doing a couple of loops from the Berkshire 500, plus a lot of wandering around. Put a solid 300+ miles on the bike, had a great time. Did some October Mountain trails too, and ran into a few BDR riders, 4 on 7/890s and one on a WR of some kind. Overall great day, despite some major gps difficulties.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    too frickin hot to do and sawmilling today, went for a ride, everybody else had the same idea, north on 153 was a 35mph train most dropped off by the time I got to Province Lake, that was a mad house, the whole length of the beach packed, cars, trucks, bikes, motorhomes, parked on both sides of 153

    stopped at the Ossipee River boat launch in Effingham. talked with a guy there in a 1930 Model A Ford, he tries to drive it every weekend, 100mile minimum, all original, still has mechanical brakesWhere did you ride today?-img_0996-jpg

    ride back, I headed toward Kezar Falls, and took Rt 160 south, a lot better condition than the last time I was on it, to Rt 11 to Rt 110 back to 153 south
