Fall Foliage Group Ride

The Route I am planning is taking us up through Brattleboro.

But since it is still early I am up for modifying it a little

**Half Squid** · 10-02-05, 06:59 PM

Dave I did some riding today out in Western Mass around the top of the Quabbin and the route ends on rt 116 N where we could have lunch at Bub's BBQ then head North on the nice twisty/Scenic section of rt 116! If you left early you could make it to southern VT hit rt 8A, 112 or rt 100.

Let me know if you want to know the route?

Mike

**dave72370** · 10-02-05, 07:02 PM

Yeah That would be great,

Just PM me the route ok?

Thanks

Dave

Me and OT were out that way. We took a 100 mile loop around the res down 122, down 202 and back 9. Great day today for riding. Then got back in time to watch the Sox spank the Yankees.

202 is a nice cruise.

What a couple of wusses..
I did 270 lonely miles.
I took 62 all the way from Hudson to 32/122 to 202 then A few back roads to get over to 63 S then onto 116 North ( Sweet section!) Then I took 112 North to Rt East and headed home.
My Ass legs and wrists are sore now...
Saw lots of HD's a coupld of Squids, and a few Sportriders.

Oh passed by the Grass Sled races in Lancaster on rt117 when they were all packing up to leave.. Damn I forgot all about that...

I think that I can get a couple of Rossi wanna be's together for this.

I'm toolin' it up from central RI. Anyone wants to meet up in the 146/290 area (or closer) lemme know.

Personally I call it a "Massachusetts/Vermont/New Hampshire Road Atlas".

My 100 miles was so I could catch my kids baseball game on sunday. And when I say Kids I mean the Red Sox....... I wish Mike would have called me, his ride sounded fun too. I may have been able to be persuaded on going. Oh Well.

Will they take my kids with them??

I did a few hundred this weekend...not nearly what I did the past few...

**BusaBoy** · 10-03-05, 02:32 PM

Bastard!

My bike was a garage ornament aqll weekend. Wife was away so I was Mr. Mom.

I need to cheat with another Mom so I can go riding!

**BADBOY_GSXR1000** · 10-03-05, 02:32 PM

hello ladies and gents. I first want to apologize for not popping in over the weekend in NH. I had to pull some hours in at the job. But my purpose for stoppin in was to check in on this 10/23/05 run. I even considered throwing on a new front tire on my bike and letting my girl ride it while I take my buddies 05 Zx10. I might as well, since it's being stored in my garage. I'm eager to get to meat some of you and get a good one last final ride in. I told a few of my other friends who constantly ask me bout this run. So my question is:

1) Are the Boston and surrounding area still gonna meet up then roll to the main location? I know I read about some meeting at AlWife........

2) Do we have a route mapped out just yet, or are we going to swing it as we go? I personally don't care just as long as im with people that like to twist the throttle, and im all good.

I really need to get a laptop, so I can keep up with you all on the weekends..........................

**ratmloud** · 10-03-05, 04:01 PM

i didnt read the whole post, but interested.

whats the day,route, how many miles we looking at, and I will be coming from danvers ma. (20 min north of boston) where meeting?

**dave72370** · 10-03-05, 05:00 PM

Ok the route is almost all set. I am going on Thursday (anyone want to join me?) to make a test run and make sure it is all good. The run, for those who don't read the first page

will be October 23rd (sunday) It will be a couple hundred miles and just a great time.

More details to follow on Friday

very funny..............................................asshole
i took a look at it today and it needs an oil pan (on order) and i have to do something about the exhuast because its pointed at the sky right now. its a super-duper high mount now

have to try and contact MIG and see if i can still get parts for it since they are out of europe

also have to get a pair or rearsets for it from street and comp or something. i also need a stock GSXR 750 header if anyone has one, hers is crushed.

and NO i wasnt riding it but for some reason i have to fix it

**OreoGaborio** · 10-03-05, 06:17 PM

Just the oil pan not the block??? sweet
