I have a question because I have seen that quote before. What does it mean? Is it I want to ride with people but don't what to be in front. Or I want to ride with people and I want someone to show me around? Or somethine else? Im not trying to be a smart a$$ just wondering.

[kingkawi]

For me it means I would like to go for a ride with different people and I am always looking for different places to ride so if someone has a cool route suggestion i'm up for it. Thats just what i'm asking.

[sdog30]

I say 9am, I've been working in Granville all week and there are some pretty nice roads up there. Eric, you ever been up by the toy drum factory on Water St? Maybe we can meet up in the Belchertown-ish area and do reverse loop up 116 to 112 and down to Granville?

Hey Danz, yeah I had my kids this past weekend and haven't had any time to take it apart, but I'll be at it tomorrow. I have hope I can solve the issue. It's either carb or spark plug related.

[Danz19899]

good luck man you hope you get it going. i hate carbs lol but i have them too. engines need 3 things to run air fuel and spark. sometimes its a bitch to figure out which ones missing.

i may be up for this ride if i can pry myself out of bed

[kingkawi]

belchertown is past quabbin right? 9 sounds fine

It boarders it. It's on the other side of Palmer, right before Amherst. I got the bike running today and the battery is on the charger, so should be ready to go. Chance of thunderstorms, but I'm willing to ride either way.

[deslock]

Where are you guys meeting in Belchertown? I'm interested in riding.

[kingkawi]

I'm riding either way also just name the place

[sdog30]

How about in the center of town? Right were 202 and 181 meet is like a grass area center common and there is a parking lot on the south side. Probably want to gas up prior to meeting. Here's a map:

[kingkawi]

That sounds good to me. be there at 9

[deslock]

Unfortunately, I can't make it. Have fun and ride safe.

[sdog30]

Okay, here's the deal. Should be three or four of us (sorry you can't make it deslock, danz maybe you'll be there) we'll meet at the center of Belchertown at the corner of 202 and 181 in the parking lot by the pizza place on the south side of the common at 9am, kick stands up at 9:15.

If it's poring when I wake up, Eric and I are bailing, if it's cloudy with a chance of rain or not raining hard and looks like we'll be able to get a good ride in, we'll be there. Anyone is welcome to join us, but like to keep the ride smaller (8 or less), here's the route I'm thinking:

Summery is shoot-up 202 to the Shutesbury chute to 63 to 47 to 116 to 112 to 23 to 8 to 57 down to Granville (Eric will probably lead through that part since he knows all those roads through Russell and Blandford real well)

If it starts poring at any point during the ride, we can end the ride or stop for a break, not trying to take over the ride kingkawi, but think this will be a good route, welcome to suggestions.

[kingkawi]

that sounds good. I just wanna ride

[EJLemo]

Sorry I am not going to be there. When I come back from INDY I will show you around WMass

[Kenn157]

Is it raining in central MA?

[sdog30]

I'm thinking of bailing, too. I really want to ride, but starting a rid in the rain sucks and the sonar map just shows green all through our area for most of the morning. Don't want you coming to Belchertown for nothing.

Might try and fit in a small ride if this clears up late morning.

[kingkawi]

unfortunatley didnt check the computer before i left. i showed up and was so lonely maybe next weekend.

Rule of thumb, ALWAYS check before you head out.

You never know what may happen.

Sorry man, I thought you were going riding either way, but tried to let you know early enough. Sucks too because it stopped raining and become sunny like an hour later. The dopler image looked like it was going to rain all day. I think I'm going to go on a short ride myself after I eat and if I get dumped on, so be it.

[kingkawi]

no worries i rode by myself for a while then headed home. my fault for not checking like i said maybe next week. same time same place?

[kingkawi]

Just looked at the ten day forcast looks like rain next weekend all weekend so might have to reschedule again.
