    I'm thinking about heading down there... can anyone suggest a route to Fall River from the North Shore that doesn't involve I-95 / I-495?

    don't know a bunch of you guys, but if you see an old geezer w/ a red beard and an old, gold Katana... c'mon over and introduce yourself

    Vanson Open House 4/27

    I thought the open house this year SUCKED donkey balls.
    There were only 2 star boyz's there on piece of shit beat up bikes. They fell over alot, You would think that for all of the years they have been stunting they would be more proficient at it.
    I guess its better than what i can pull off, I was just disapointed , I have seen better from them in years past.

    Biker Billy wasn't there this year either, so the food was just okay.
    Yeh I know its free food that I didn't have to cook so what am I bitching about.

    As with a lot of this type of event the crowd sees the stunters and wants to impress the crowd as well, so the side street as people were leaving was a launching pad for wheelies, stopies and burnouts, Which is stupid cause they have a section of the parking lot set aside for that, why do it in the street.
    This one guy stoppied down the hill and toppled over spilling his oil all over the road for everyone else to track through, THANKS A LOT PAL. Then 3 guys through it in the back of a pick up and took off. HMMMMM? wonder if they were afraid the cops would show up.

    Then to top it off, Vanson is located in an area where ther is no good way to get there or home. We hit traffic the whole way home. I guess its better to be out on the bike in traffic than on the couch when its raining.

    Oh well perhaps it will be better next year..........

    I agree the Vanson Open House was better other years. However, where can you ride to, see a gathering of bikes, and get a free lunch?

    As far as the Star Boyz skills, most rders can't pull a wheelie, never mind drag the tail at 10mph. How about pulling one up while sitting on the tank. Pretty impressive...... Ask the guy who was trying to impress the crowd with a stoppie gone bad. As a result he had to toss (litterly) into the back of a pickup.

    All and all, the weather was great and we had a good time!

    question

    How were the deals on the Vanson gear?

    Any good deals on 1-piecers or pants?

    Would have liked to have gone down and met some of you guys but I was looking at houses all weekend, VERY depressing.

    I thought the show was a bit disappointing. However, the ride after the show was good. We hit some traffic, but the roads were nice and twisty.

    Vanson leather is always expensive, I doubt I would ever buy one of their jackets. I didn't see any real deals at the open house, I really reccomend NewEnough.com for good buys.

    It was good to meet some NESR members. First time riding with NESR, will do some more rides in the future....

    What roads did you take home? cause all the ones I have ever taken home from there over the years have not been twistie?

    Although we might have been going in different directions, all depends on where home is I guess.

    We took back roads through Attleboro, Rehoboth and Swansea. Jumped on 195 for about 2 exits to get to Vanson. We did see a few cops though, luckly we weren't flying though. After Vanson show we headed out through Lil Compton, and Dartmouth with a few other riders. Roads were great and you can see through most corners.
