57 23 20 112 143 8a 2 100 yad yada

9 am gassed pissed as in seat

Fast paced cage passing

[MissTwisties]

There is a few of us leaving Basketball Hall of Fame around 9am on Sunday...why don't you join us? We could finally meet...

Pace I suspect will be anywhere from moderate to fast...but I for one can't afford another speeding tx (well it's more about not getting any more points taken off my license...), I'm going to court in Oct. for a $200.00 one... I'll be keeping it moderate...

[Wishbone]

Unless they were for doing 50mph over in a 25mph turn, I'm not impressed.

[richw]

I am from near the Casinos and am burning west to start the fun early.

I will probably return east of Quabbin

[FastJohnny]

I'll be at the Hall of Fame at 9:00. Most likely with a couple other guys.

[richw]

ah the classic ct ma schism

[The Snowman]

Dumb question...

Does anyone ever ride with the intention of doing a "faster than Hardley Albeson pace", but slower than "knee-dragging" pace?

I hate feeling like I'm holding people up when I ride. I know I've been known to do 60+ in the twisties, but I'm really not that comfortable doing it. (that, and I don't feel like getting slapped with any tix and insurance points)

[richw]

My only real bug is getting stuck behind cars without passing.
Guys who want to be seen in the towns


If someone is slower in the turns they usually can make it up in the straights if they are willing... no problem

I am sure there are people to ride your pace just invent a ride and say medium pace 20 over etc. whatever your sctick is and see who salutes. I might do one on my burgman etc

[FastJohnny]

Burgman huh? I regularly take my pocketbike 60-70+ into the twisties.. Just man up and do it..

In all seriousness, I usually ride at a medium/medium-fast pace. If you get left behind in the twisties, you'll find everyone waiting for ya at the stop sign. It gives you time to ride your ride, and everyone else time for the adrenaline to settle.

The ride starting from at 9 a.m. from the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield will be moderate. What it means (to us anyway): anywhere from 15 to 40 over speed limits. Rip the twisties, catch up on the straights. Yes, there will be passing on yellows, as long as it is SAFE. You are responsible for your own passing and to make sure YOU feel safe to do so. Respect speed limits and no stupid shit in the villages/towns/school zones, etc. Wait for everyone at the corner of road change. Just use common sense. Well, we all have different meanings as to what "common sense" is...

We're gonna try to get togueter for lunch Rich...you guys will be too fast for us...

[JeffL]

Yeah, bikers are scary, I'd pull over too.

[FastJohnny]
