Sunday 8/5 Ride: 225 -> 119 -> wherever

[978chris]

What's up guys, just wanna say thanks to everyone who went. It was good to get out with some other bikes again. I had an awesome time, although I'm pretty fuggin sore now. I'm sure tomorrow will be worse. It's been awhile since I was on a bike for so long.

Anyway, It was cool meeting all of you. Hit me up for more anytime.

Nice ride! I put about 280 miles today. A bit more traffic than I expected, but it wasn't too bad. I gotta say we were lucky to get away without any tickets today. Sheldon, you lucky SOB ) And then I had a cop on my ass right before Concord rotary I don't think he got me and Mikey on a radar, cause I saw him right away when we got up that little hill. Well, he pulled out just when we passed. I guess he was trying to see if we were gonna run or smth....I slowed down and the cop just pulled to the right. Phew....
Here's a crappy cell phone pics.

looks like a decent group. Sorry I missed it.

[Jayspeed]

Cool ride today. Nice to meet some new people and good to see some people again. Sheldon, that was totally cool that you ran into your friend. What a relief! Thanks for leading.

[BigShel]

Thanks to all who showed up, I had a blast and I must say in all my yrs on 119 I have never seen a cop, and I am glad I saw one I knew.LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways What happen to all the other people who never showed up?

Great ride fellas, vermont was awesome and the weather was even better. Shell thanks for doing the lead even though you pussy out rt 17
Good meeting new nesr members (by the way joel ur gs 500 was smoking on decel) and hope to ride with ya again.
Ned you should really get some rest on sat cause with all the streching and leg flinging you were doing on ur bike gets a little distracting.
I thought the cop was going to pull you over fer sure but I guess today you and Shell had luck on your side.

I ended up heading outa peterboror with Ryno, Awsome ride, and I figured we would run into you guys, but guess not..

[hammadown]

Great meeting you all and putting a face to an sn. Too bad traffic sucked b/c we left so late waiting for other people

And the only cop between east ass fuck and civilization and sheldon knows him...you lucky bastard!

[978chris]

lovely.

yea I'm running pretty rich right now. waiting for an exhaust in the mail & I'll be rejetting before I go riding again. that bike is more high maintenance than any chick I've known...

maybe I should stop taking things apart?

hope to make that ride again soon!

It's the only way to learn. Hey btw, cops don't hassle you about no mirrors?

Yes, that and other rides again soon. Anything good close to where we live, for the weekday afternoons?

... there was that one time we were passing those 2 harleys & I got some NASTY headshake in the turn going past them. I crapped my pants but I kept it a secret.

No shit, I didn't like them shakes either. I didn't get a headshake ( thanks to damper ), but I was a bit uncomfortable passing them as well.

Yeh, I did some stretching today, I learned it from you It does take some numbness off of your "frozen" body parts.
No, I thought the cop was gonna pull YOU over. I kept the speed at limit when I saw him. It was 25 when he closed up behind me. You passed me doing like double that.

[nerijusj]

Oh, one more thing. Did any of you hit a pothole on that twisty mountain road between I-91 and Rt. 2 ? I did and it didn't sound good. I thought something cracked on my bike. Holy f@cking shit. It was a nasty one. Well, got home and looked all over the bike. Everything seems to be fine, except the rear shock compressed so much when I went over it, it let the rear wheel hit the license plate ( which is tucked in ). It scraped some letter/number paint off of it

[978chris]

i hope I wasnt making anyone nervous. let me know & i'll definitely work on it. I hardly ever ride with other people; especially at that quick a pace, so I'm open to feedback always. there was that one time we were passing those 2 harleys & I got some NASTY headshake in the turn going past them. I crapped my pants but I kept it a secret.

Haha nervous? No. Let's go faster.

At least you weren't wearing Adidas and a sweatshirt.

Feedback though, yeah I felt a couple times like some people thought I was a little close to them. Let me know if so. Maybe it was just me. I'm used to racing bicycles and enduro so I don't notice being close.

Hey, great ride yesterday guys. That was a lot of fun. Although Route 2 sucked coming home! Damn that was such a long ride on that road.

I think we should go back to VT, but next time head up to the Northeast part of the State and make a weekend trip out of it!

Oh my god I was getting so cramped up on 2 with no turns and stuff... Trying to find all different ways to sit on the bike.

I missed my '97 zx-9r, those little mini-roll-cage looking things that supported the windscreen made such a good place to grab onto and prop yourself up.

[ahtune69]

I thought that pld man was gonna run ur ass over.

[978chris]

Rofl, you know afterward while we were riding I was thinking what if he was just like fuck it and ran over my bike.... He can probably afford it, lol. I think I saw that in a movie once.

I'm in!

[CBRRdee]

Man what a long ride, but it was fun though. And it was nice to meet everyone. Nothing like the first road of twisties to get the blood pumping, huh? Just to let everyone know, I renamed that road "Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!"...

And the road that we got on when we exited 91 coming home was pretty good too.

Well I think that we all agree that Sheldon is the luckiest mofo that we know. Maybe I'll have him buy me a powerball ticket...

Looking forward to riding with you guys soon. Well not too soon! My kitchen pass is only good once a month...

[Slyder]

NE VT? why bother...cross over into NH and hit the better roads.

Either way, you guys wanna do NE VT or NH, I'm in
sucks I'm so far up here, seems like the majority of you guys are down in MA. Bit of a hike.

Next time we ride you should meet up and show us some of those roads.

I agree.

[Slyder]

can do, you guys ever go ride around the mt washington valley? Kanc I bet, but there are other decent roads here and there to check out.

Hurricane mtn road is pretty sick.

[978chris]

I've heard those are good but haven't made it up there yet.

Count me in.

[KillBill]

I'm down for this Sunday........head into VT perhaps?
