    hey from taunton ma

    Hello, I have been riding all my life and now more than ever since I met my wife. we like to ride my ducati 1098s and her triumph daytona 675 or our duel splort klx bikes any good place we can find.
    I am hoping to find some great riding places and find a track day for us. we drag race but want to do a track day at NHIS soon.

    As I first read that I thought, wow, he really must hate her

    Must be nice to walk out in to the garage and see those choices looking back at you.

    I'm in Taunton too. Sign up for the BoMo track days next Monday and Tuesday. I'll be there and could help you get set up.

    Welcome to NESR. I'm close by with a new obsession in both ducatis and track days (not together though). Let me or anyone here know if we can help you out with some trackday info.

    Hi from Hart Street, Taunton. Home of Boston Moto (shameless plug). 749R here. I have a tire machine also for any tire changing needs you might have. Reasonable rates.

    Re: hey from taunton ma

    Thanks guys. Good to know other riders are close. How is bostonmoto for beginers? my wife wants to do a tony track day for more instruction and a slower pace (its Her 1st sportbike)..Thats ok because I do not feel like dumping my perfect black 1098s anyway as I will push it hard.
    We are unnindg out of trails to ride..anyone know some good places the cops will not arrest us for ridding on?
    Degsy ,I just went down hart street where are you located..I did not see any shops or signs. I need someone to tell my wife she will not crash her new daytona! (if it ever gets out of presision triumph shop)

    Welcome! For offroad riding, you can check out the Miles-Standish Forest in Plymouth. Miles and miles of trails. I'm leading a street bike ride through there on Saturday.

    I rode my 675 at the track last year... I went down :/. User error though. I like to find my limits the hard way

    Re: hey from taunton ma

    Bostonmoto is fine for beginners. We revamped our entire novice program this season, plus we also offer an intro to trackdays package also. (both of which have been met with great feedback).
    I've been slugging out dirty miles all season in Freetown, but it's rugged and nasty. I know of some other stuff reachable with a plate headed towards the sandier regions SE of you...if you catch my drift...

    SteveBen, BostonMoto has an intro package you can add to your first trackday for hands on instruction. Its the way to go. Ive done Tonys, Bostonmoto, Penguin...if you like any of them they will help you out. Tell them its your 1st time or that you wanna go slow and you'll be all good.
