Throwing it out there

[fz6guy]

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone was interested in going for a ride around western, ma area? I live in Monson so northern CT works as well. I'm a beginner, only have about 500 miles under my belt so far so it will not be the most spirited of rides lol. I generally keep it 5-10 over the limit. Ive never ridden with anyone except my father who has a harley so I'd like to ride with some other sport bikes. No, I'm not 16 lol I'm 23, my dads just a cool guy haha. I'm on vacation until next sunday so if anyone is up for showing a newbie the ropes, taking in some nice roads, let me know. I went up around quabbin reservoir a couple weekends ago, that was a nice ride. Something like that?

I'm in Bolton but ride around the Wachusett reservoir and the surrounding town roads often. some great riding around there.

there is a group that trries to meet in Worcester every Tuesday to go riding, there is a tread called Worcester Area on here that pops up every week around that time

btw, got any good pictures of the Tornado damage? Monson was the hardest hit I heard!

ok cool I'll check out the thread thanks! And yea I've got tons of pics but most are just trees down and whatnot. I felt weird taking pictures of peoples property damage for some reason. I'll post some up if you're interested though. It was a crazy experience that's for sure, the amount of damage that took place in literally like 2 minutes is insane. But we were one of the lucky few, the house is fine really but the environment is so different. Went from really nice woods everywhere to zero trees, we basically live on a field now-no more shade!!

PM me if you ever want to go out. I ride an 08 fz6. Wouldn't mind showing a new guy around.

I can't do it this weekend but I live in Willington CT and drive up through Monson all the time in search for good roads. This is my first year riding so you won't have to worry about unmatched riding styles. I ride with a couple good guys usually, if you keep setting up rides I'll try to make them!

i'm down for a ride. i have a lot of free time while i wait to start my new job. i don't know the area at all, really, since i just moved here, but am happy to tag along and help out a new rider.

Awesome, I will think about a good ride to do. I really enjoyed going up around quabbin, I took rt. 181 through belchertown, then hopped onto 202 for most of the ride then 122 to 32a and 32 back to monson. It's not a really long ride, about an hour and a half or so. If anyone has any other ideas thats cool as well. I'm thinking tomorrow (sunday) morning?

I don't have a street bike anymore or I would meet up with you. My apartments are in Palmer so I am there all the time. (I live on East Longmeadow/Springfield line)

Our area has some great roads, but you need to venture off the bigger ones with route numbers ... look at google maps for all those tiny black squiggly ones!

[fz6guy]

Haha ok cool I will definitely check out the black squigglies! thanks
