    Sunday 4/13 Motard/dualsport

    I want to spend a day exploring the roads in my area and wouldn't mind some company. I'm guessing it'll be a 50/50 mix of dirt roads and bumpy paved roads...perfect for a Motard I can even mix in some trails if anyone feels up to it. I'm riding my 525 with Pilot Powers so I don't want to hear any tire excuses
    Not a crazy pace, just want to cover 100-150 miles...which shouldn't be a problem.
    We can meet and leave from my house at say, 10am? Arrive with a full tank of fuel...and that's ready to ride at 10am
    Pm for directions, I'm in western RI near the Ct line

    motard wheels, really?
    that might actually be better, as I'm sure I still won't have a skid plate by then.

    I didn't have my skidplate on the for the Pachaug ride last weekend I haven't swapped over to the Motard wheels yet so either way is fine with me...and I'll do the same planned route. I do plan on using some of the Pachaug loop but the more fireroad/quad trail type ones. Also discovered a cool trail that comes from the paved road and leads into my backyard...if people are up to it

    Grumpy old fart = richw

    The part where it says PM for directions will indicate that you won't be in for the next one

    On a brighter note, there has been a huge improvement in Sundays weather forcast

    bike too big
    gearing too high
    suit too bright
    girlfriend won't let me have my testicles for the day
    air pressure too high for off roading
    music selection on the mp3 player is not what I was looking for.

    Mark, bikes are loaded, see you in the morning

    you just need to convince your girlfriend that she likes bikes, and bring her along, or better yet , get her riding her own, that way you can spend "quality " time together.
