[NashuaMatt]

i'd love to go but i'm headed out to NYC in a couple hours.

next one hopefully?

[keeena]

I have to be home at noon because I have someone coming to buy my quad. They can't move the day/time because they have a truck rented.

I could roll with you from 202/2 for a bit, obviously can't do the whole day. If you're cool w/ that, let me know which route 2 exit: 16 or 19.

[venk25]

I'm in. Will be going to the Rindge, NH meeting point. Anybody from Salem/Nashua/Amherst/Merrimack want to ride together to Rindge ? PM me.

[Josephd14]

Keena I believe The 202/2 exit is 19.. Where would you want to meet there?? at the king Phillip Resturant.. It's right off the exit..

[MissTwisties]

A bit late to answer him...LOL

[MissTwisties]

I didn't get an exact count, but would say there was probably about 50 bikes today at the meeting spot in Great Barrington. The morning ride was chilly, but enjoyable. Good riders to share the road with, it was fun! A few pictures I took, I specially liked the Ducati and the Bandit shown:

Stephan's ZX-10 and my bike


Yum...


Yes, please..



What a crowd...




Nice!!

More pictures from an STN member: Audifans Photo Gallery :: Great Barrington Ride 04/26/08

They say there was about 65 bikes total. About every make/model was represented, there was even one Harley Davidson and what appeared to be a dirtbike...LOL This link shows a picture of about just every bike in that big group!

[Doc]

5 over speed limits is slow....lol 15 over is a bit more fun and depending of the area and the roads, sometimes I go faster. Not sure how "fast" Rob's group might be, but maybe it would be wise to stick with yours anyway. Also, don't know where I'd meet you guys, I'm in Southwick MA, Great Barrington MA is about an hour from me taking the main roads (maybe 91 North then Rte 2) but taking back roads would take longer and it would be nicer. If you guys are leaving from NH, that's not in my area at.all.

Where do you go after Great Bari? Going back towards NH?

15 over in the CORNERS! NOT the straights.

[MissTwisties]

15 over in the CORNERS! NOT the straights.

He clocked me at 52 in a 35 zone in a tight corner...that's 17 over. Still, didn't feel like I was going that speed at all. (I'm talking about my other post getting pulled over after loosing my speedo cable on Friday)

[REDST]

It was a good ride with a good turn out. Here are a few more photos.

From the Citgo on 119 and 202.

[ChR1s]

Turned out to be a great day for a ride. Helluva turnout at Vince's. Must be the food? With some bikes coming/going, overall count of attendees is nearer to 70 bikes. Good on Keith for planning another successful get together.

BTW, Vince is the trail boss for the upcoming 3-State dual-sport/adventure ride on May 18th.

Fun ride. But I thought the pace of the medium speed group was a bit slow, I should have gone with theothersean's group. I can't believe how many V-Stroms there were. The flat black one looked straight out ot The Road Warrior. Here's some pics.

Trying to get artsy here and fill up the frame with just bike parts but my photo skills and camera suck.
