UMass people?

[Cougar296]

No shit! Nice to meet ya. I was on the TLR. Me and the guy on the R6 usually are out that way most weekends and at that Mobil by 9a-10a. If mornings are your thing & pace was OK, feel free to shoot me a message if you're ever lookin to ride.

And yeah, do try to make it out to Taconic...worth the trip.

I'll definitely be out there again this upcoming weekend, maybe once during the week. I usually prefer to get out there in the morning to minimize the possibility of traffic and cops. Over the summer i used to get out there reallllly early and run 116, rt 2, then up into VT. The pace was nice too...for awhile there I got split up from you guys when you passed a car and I didn't follow...had to haul ass to catch up. As of right now the weather looks great, so I'm thinking I might head out to Taconic Saturday morning to check it out.

Hello Cougar

I get off work at 4pm on thur. If you want to meet at the intersection of
Rt10 and 202 in Westfield. There was a bar there called Purple Onion the sign is still there but the bar is closed. I work very close to there and could be there at 405pm. Interested?

As of right now that looks like a good possibility...there is a very slight chance that I may not be able to make it, but I'll know within the next day or two. I have some hefty assignments due this week and an exam, but should be done with everything for they week by Thursday. If anything changes i'll let you know, but as of right now I'm in.

So you've never been up 116 to rt 2 west?

[Cougar296]

Anyone down for some rides in the near future? I'll probably be out Tuesday afternoon pending good weather (weather.com shows small chance for PM showers).

[GNTurbo6]

Anytime after tomorrow is fine for me. I don't have tests till Monday and Wednesday next week.

[gixxersixxer]

I have my bike at UMASS, there's some really nice roads in Dracut to hit up

[GNTurbo6]

Are you talking about UMASS Amherst or Lowell? Dracut is a long ways away from us here in the western part of the state.

That said, Cougar and I are planning to ride in the early afternoon tomorrow post up here and I'll give you contact info if anyone wants to go.

Yeah I have a couple buddies who stopped riding after they moved out East for that reason. Nice to see you're sticking with it... drop me a line sometime if you want to ride.

On that note, I'm gonna loop around the Quabbin this afternoon if anyone's interested in joining me.

[morganater]

Well, I guess I'll revive this thread...

Dean, you graduated? anyone still at UMASS Amherst?

I'm still at UMass...just moved back up today.

[Danz19899]

i dont go to the school but i tend to end up on Rt116 a lot its probably my favorite road in mass. it may be probably 80 miles from my house but i've hit it 3 seperate days this week lol

[deslock]

anyone still at UMASS Amherst?

Yeah, I'm a permanent fixture

BTW, we're riding tomorrow at 9AM. FYI, with so little traffic early on a Saturday morning, Belchertown common is
only 15-20 minutes from UMass (also, there are several gas stations between UMass and the meeting point).

[gixxersixxer]

UMASS Lowell all the way

[morganater]

lol nice, just saw this now.. whoops

[GNTurbo6]

Looks like we got quite a few people in the area now. Should be fun once I get my license back.

[sdog30]

I live on The bottom of Amity St. (right around the corner from the football stadium) There's a few of us going for a big ride tomorrow morning.

[morganater]

is that your yard with a bike always for sale on Amity?

[sdog30]

is that your yard with a bike always for sale on Amity?

Yup, that's me.

I'm not a dealer or anything...I built the white CBR last year and had my YZF that I wasn't riding for sale and ended up trading it for the Ninja 250. I was going to give it to my girl, but she thought it was TOO TALL?!?!

So, it's for sale, but it doesn't look like it's going to sell before winter with this economy, so I'll probably store it for the winter next month if I don't get any bites. (sorry)
