    Riding sunday 4-1??

    Anyone up for some riding today?? I am in southern VT but will ride anywhere around here. Of course I prefer the lovely roads of VT

    I was thinking a ride over Hogback then up 100 into some sort of loop. I am up for suggestions here. Maybe leave around noon once the temps come up a bit. Pretty sano pace too as my bike has 130 miles on it.

    Riding sunday 4-1??

    I'm riding today but I'm in RI so needless to say VT is a bit to far at least this time of the year. If anyone in my area wants to ride let me know. I can ride anywhere between CT and MA.

    My cell # is (401) 474-9499 my name is Danny

    it's a maintainance day here but we might take them out for a spin in a couple hours. not for long, with the rain coming. if anyone in the area wants to join up it might get our asses really on the bikes.

    Riding sunday 4-1??

    Well I went out to breakfast and ended up meeting a friend and riding from there. Did about 150 miles up into NY then over back to VT. All good stuff. The bke is killer but probably getting a bit rougher break in than it wants. It now has about 280 miles on it. Plus it got a bit salty and I scratched up the nose wiping it down.

    Anyone have any advice as to how to keep a black bike looking good??

    Until next time....

    Riding sunday 4-1??

    I went up to Brattleboro for a late lunch (mmmm, falafel). Saw a couple other bikes out, but not too many. Overall a nice ride and found a VERY nice road with little to no traffic (not a single other car in 10+ miles). Pretty windy, road was in decent shape. Went from Northfield MA to Warwick to Wendell. I will definitly hit it again.

    Riding sunday 4-1??

    I went for a afternoon ride north on 153, frost heave are subsiding, but still substantial then across kanc to Lincoln, very little water melting into road, they've improve draniage quite a bit, only a short section is rough with pavment patchs Gas in Lincoln is $3.00/gal

    then I turned around and did the kanc back in the other direction,

    I didn't think I went that far, but I have almost 400 miles since friday morning and I didn't ride yesterday and only work errands on friday

    I'm getting to really like my V-strom and it's litre of power, gotta get my V-1 hooked up soon

    Oh yeah. They aren't bad at all.

    Then again, I crossed the bridge on 119, took a left, then a right and I was at my lunch stop. Did about 250 yards of serious traffic twisties in VT.

    I'll wait until the days are warmer longer to head up north.

    Didnt realize who made the thread.

    Kurt, wish I had seen this, especially since I have your #. Was tooling around a bit out in the Berkshires all day last sunday after a weekend on the bike. Shes got nearly 29,000 miles on her now. Dont worry, I'll put her to good use.
