    any good size pking lots in mass?

    I need a place to practice some wheelies in. I'm trying to do the right thing by doing it off road. I found a decent place in centennial dr. at Varian, but before I even got started, I got thrown out by some dweeb that told me he works there and I could not be on the property. Ooh, and he drove is bike over from his parked space to break the news....

    usually supermarket or home depot parking lots have been popular for that stuff. not sure if the guys have permits, but i've seen it later at night

    Yea go into the blackstone valley shops at night theres plenty of room. And actually if you go to the side of target you should be alright cuz no one can see you. Idk about cops though but its too far from u.

    It might be smart to ask the management.

    Look for industrial type areas... Loading docks, shipping and recieving areas that type of thing. Many are out in the middle of no where and don't get much traffic after 5 pm.

    You know, there this industrial park near me and right next to my driveway is a half mile of perfectly straight dead end road.

    Not sure how far north you wanna go for this but I imagine the road will be there for a little while...

    Cherry Hill Drive is near you. It's behind Beverly airport. Not sure if it's actually in Danvers or Beverly. Huge ass industrial park, and relatively secluded. No organized security patrol so far as I can tell. Deserted on the weekends.

    I've thought about practicing my launches with the SV there. Then they had that rash of catalytic converters getting sawed out of vehicles at Atrium & The Nashua Telegraph and the Hudson police stepped it up big time. I still see them during work hours quite often. Not sure about after hours... Just don't give Bergs the finger if you see him.. he gets all spooked.

    You should hit me up if you do decide to practice your launches. I'm certain there won't be an issue.

    ...and about the middle finger thing, try that shit again....I dare you!

    Route 1N heading towards Saugus seems to be a good place, at least according to the three dudes that passed me at balance point in t-shirts and back protectors the other night.

    Have you guys tried the Hockey rink parking lot up by Peabody HS ... not huge but relatively flat and not much activity ..... saw a guy ride a wheel all the way around the rink building one night
