    Moving to Boston from TX

    Moving to Malden for my job at NU. Been riding over 5 years now and doing the track this season w/~5 trackdays under my belt.

    Looking to meet and ride with some folks on here. I never do cwazy isht on the streets, never had the urge to pop a wheelie, and grandpa ride my bike on the streets and just cruise. On the track is where all the fun is for me.

    Anyways, Hi to everyone and hoping to meet'n greet a few on here. Been a member of the r6-forum for a while (r6rammy).

    One question I had was if my integrated tail light was legal in MA or do I need the stock blinkers?

    here's a couple pics of my street and track versions.

    Welcome to the forum, dude. Nice lookin bikes, diggin the blacked out street bike.

    Plenty of track addicts on here, I'm sure you'll fit right in.

    You can probably get away with the integrated lights if ya go to the right place. If not, ya might have to pick up some short stalks or something.

    welcome, but you're screwed. roads arent as good out here. malden sucks. and selection of tracks is probably much worse than what you're used to

    Your in Malden, go to GP motorcycles on RT 99. There on the left about 1 mile before you hit RT 1, they'll inspect you with the integrated tail lights no problem.

    Welcome to the forum. Moving to this area? What field are you in? Securing abandoned property is a lucrative market here. So isn't pawn shops, liquor stores, check cashing, and installing tint windows. The corrections department are always hiring. Hackarama is running strong too.

    You don't work in marketing? Everything I buy is smaller.........Lotta info, rides, trackday deals, racing, howto, and best of all there are friends to be made.

    PS Skiing is cool too.
