The old Little Monadnock Family Trails roads are still mostly accessible as well and there's a lot of stuff on the powerlines over there that most deem still rideable (despite the fact LMFT shut down several years ago).

Also check out Flatlander on advrider. It hits a bunch of class 6 roads in this area, everything from mild to wild.

Well that stinks about the private land under the power lines. That’s the kind of stuff I want to ride and there is a long stretch of it I’d like to explorer. I grew up on dirt roads in VT and I’m sorry to say those are kinda boring to me. I like the kind of roads in Barre Ma that you posted pictures of on advrider.

I’ll keep looking around for more options.

Flatlander and Tomato Trail are both decently local, they have some really good stuff. If you want technical run Tomato North, it's got a really good mix of easy and technical dirt.

Also if you're on FB, join the New England Dual Sport Riders group. The guy who runs that group owns Field and Forest Rec who does NEAR every year. There's a shit load of good class 6 roads within a 30 minute ride of Jaffrey, you just gotta kinda know about them.

What are these Barre, MA roads? I ride there frequently

I assume he's talking about my pics of Tomato Trail, which goes around and through Rutland State Park.

Ah, well I probably know all those roads then. I’ll have to check out the route, I think I have it downloaded onto my gps already.

Was in the low 50's here before noon. So long lunch and a ride around wachusett reservoir.

But roads were sloppy. So extra long lunch and a bike clean up.

All nice and shiny again

Found a Corbin seat for my bike on marketplace for $20. I’ve never used one so I figured why not try it out.

Seller was close to Malibu so after I flicked the tie down and said “that’s not going anywhere” I got to enjoy the Malibu canyons and then a nice cruise lanesplitting down PCH.

I'm surprised I'm the first one to post here today.

Took the triumph out to run some errands.Attachment 60688

I took a trip to motorsports international to check out the new kawi 40th color scheme. They had a zx14 in stock and it is sexy af. If it was a zx6 or zx4rr i have no doubt i would have bought it just for display.

Too much salt kicking around for me. Well...actually, lack of a proper place to wash it during the winter is what shuts me down.

I've washed at the car wash 3 miles away, but even in 3 miles it's grungy again. Heated garage with hot water and a drain. or maybe a wet/dry vac

I know what I *NEED*, I just don't HAVE it. :lol:

Short ride (30 miles) up to Florence up 79

Took the little donkey out for a ride. It's been a month since I bought it, and I must say it is a fun little machine!

But when I got home, I decided to take the other green bike out for a spin.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...34d9c184e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1c2db8e32e.jpg

got my K-Pipe out today, first ride of the year, rear tire was soft, fired right up as if it was already warmed up, no choke, oiled the chain and rode about an hour or so, just around local town roads, I hafta get a different saddle

Doing the old 3-hole change on the Street Glide after work. REALLY hoping to get out for a spin when I'm done.

I rode my K-Pipe to physical therapy today, been going twice a week for a couple months now for my range of motion with my right hip and lower back pain. With a goal of being able to throw my leg over my motorcycles, couple months ago, I needed about a 6" step up, proud to say, I can do it from ground level now (barely). The past 3 sessions included throwing my leg over a beach ball that was sitting atop a 5 gallon pail, almost identical to my K-Pipe & V-Strom seat height. Today we went out in the parking lot and practiced on and off my bike, standing in slightly different positions, another 20 reps

Small local loop. Tons of bikes out.

I accepted a new job and will be taking the week off 5/20-5/24

I have to be home morning and evening to do Dad things, but will definitely be riding a few days this week weather permitting. Most likely will be trolling around the Vanilla Bean. I’ll post here when it’s more specific, but certainly wouldn’t mind some company if anyone wants to take a hooky ride.

Didn't get to it as I hoped. But it looks like I'll have plenty of time with this shitty weather to get it done by the end of the weekend.

Procrastinated all winter and now we’ve had a couple days over 100 already. Maybe next year!

Headed to Myrtle today for a beach break, it’s bike week down there next week so that’s cool. Might actually test ride something if I get bored.

Finished last day crap and took an hour ride with Degsy around Rehoboth.

Pan Am woken from hibernation today. Approx 100mi just wandering around today.

The Saville Dam with these folks today .

Ive been taking a different bike out every day. Took the hawk up to ny the other day. The gsxr is still trapped in the garage surrounded by muddy fields and driveways. The ironhead I've been doing local rides around vanilla bean just cause it's terrible on the highway so I stay local. Nsr I've been tuning so mostly just terrorizing Sturbridge with it. Braaap.
