To quote an older Anthrax tune, "Always room for one more."

Make sure to dress accordingly, here's the latest forecast for Middleboro:

Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a temperature rising to near 59 by 8am, then falling to around 43 during the remainder of the day. Southwest wind between 7 and 11 mph.

Sounds like the temp's going to drop off fast.

haha, great quote... so it's 10am at 32 commercial (rt 140) in foxboro then... (thank you google maps).

since i've never ridden with any of you (might have met some at the drunkathon, but was...um...drunk) i assume full leathers are recommended.

i'll be on the rc51, black helmet w/ #824 on the side.

Yikes, who am I getting mixed up with here? Track riders, eh? Full leathers, eh?

I don't own full leathers as of yet, but I try to dress for the crash. I just hope Santa is good to me this year.

Dont worry about it. Most of the people I ride with dont have full leathers. As crazy as it sounds I just feel better in them on the bike. They also extend my range as my seat is like a 2X6.

Not a problem here. We are all new at one time and most of these guys I havent ever met.

Starting to look like a nice batch of people so will probably not be moving too fast as not to draw a lot of unwanted attention.

**Degsy** · 11-26-06, 01:19 AM

10:30 Dunkin's at Middleboro rotary (rt44).

See you there.

**virtualbong** · 11-26-06, 01:33 AM

Just got in, so I should have enough sleep to make it to this ride.

Can we have a summary of the meeting spots? I have to go pick up my bike from my bro's in Burlington, MA, so I'm trying to figure out how much time I need to get to wherever the meeting spot is.

Can someone list the meeting spots (mapquest if possible) and what times? Thanks!

**Punjistick** · 11-26-06, 03:07 AM

Dunkin Donuts 32 Commercial St. Foxboro, MA at 10:00AM

OR...

Dunkin Donuts 10:30 Dunkin's at Middleboro rotary (rt44).

I'm pretty sure those are the right maps but I'm not 100%

**The Snowman** · 11-26-06, 08:08 AM

OOOOOO, 33 in Blackstone this morning. Going up to 40 by 9am.

The ride out's going to be a chilly one.

**ahtune69** · 11-26-06, 08:13 AM

anyone going from the Needham 128 area, could ride up towards 140.

**Kham** · 11-26-06, 08:59 AM

just got up. can't make it. sorry. but i'll be hitting blue hill later.

**old timer** · 11-26-06, 09:47 AM

I'll be out riding today but not down in the SW MA area...James , pm me your phone #...

**sxlova07** · 11-26-06, 01:52 PM

good turn out and decent weather made for a great ride today. funny how friendly the cagers and the harley guys were.....oh and how about that 100hp superturbo charged ford! lol he had hood pins and painted rim covers, cant forget about the plastic windows.

RGVER cant wait to see the pics that you took! well off to get ready for work. we should do a group ride like this at the start of next year

**union** · 11-26-06, 03:16 PM

Was a lot of fun today. We didnt hit everything I wanted to but it would have made for a long day. We can do the 2nd 1/2 next summer when there is more sunlight hopefully before the cape is completely congested with traffic.

I had a great time chasing Degsy down 105. I havent ridden like that in quite a while.

Here are the couple of photos I took. They arent that great and my bike didnt make them but its ok. I dont want to show everyone up anyway

If anyone wants bigger copies pm me your email Ill send you the full size.

definitely a good ride, can't wait until spring.

and you couldnt have had yours in the pics, 1 RC makes the other bikes look bad enough, can you imagine how it would be with 2?

**union** · 11-26-06, 03:40 PM

Oh ya what was with the two crackheads we saw today? THat one dude revving the piss out of that ford escort with the plastic bag window talking about how fast it is and then that other dude on the bike that passed us all only to slow down in front of the pack and pull wheelies.

It was great to meet a lot of new people out there. It was the first time Ive ridden with another RC51 out here which is very nice. I always felt like the odd one out when people started talking about mods and whatnot.

Once again Degsy made a good rabbit. We got going pretty fast there for a bit but it wasnt really out of control by any means. Besides it gave us a small chance to reat while we waited for some the catch up.

To those that have asked for the photos Ill get them to you as soon as gmail stops acting up.

**nerijusj** · 11-26-06, 03:41 PM

Agreed. That was a nice ride

too bad it's probably the last one for this year. Looking forward to meet you all next spring!

**RGVER** · 11-26-06, 04:11 PM

More pics from the ride, unfortunatley the most of the on the road pics didn't take (I need a new camera). Again pm me if you want full size

Great ride, hopefully we'll get at least one more in this year. Glad to see the ol' Ninja not totally overwhelmed even on fragged tires, a few carb issues to sort out but it ran pretty well.
Thanks to all for making the new guys welcome.
I wish I'd taken a pic of the supercharged turbo'd Escort with the front windows removed for weight reduction and replaced with clear plastic sheet, must not forget the super aerodynamic hubcaps.
