    Motard-Only Ride - VT, this summer?

    I was thinking of doing this last summer, and I just never got around to it.

    Basically, I live in northern VT. I think I can put together a sweet street-legal motard ride consisting of beautiful paved twisties (I'm 15 minutes from the best part of Route 17), twisty dirt roads, Class IV roads, and easy trails. Probably a total of 150-175 miles, but the route would take all day. Very scenic, with lots of the dirt roads being through some pretty desolate northeast Vermont mountains.

    Any interest? I'm thinking late June/Early July?

    Put rain tires on if your worried about traction. I rode some muddy trails on my husky with no issues, and Zsolt67 did a bunch of fast sessions at mototown on his supermoto with rain tires.

    Hi I would be into this but I run a 250f with dirt tires. It sounds like the focus here is more street, is that true?? I would love to join you otherwise.

    Can I dirt ride with Jaret while you guys are out? I know you don't want to leave me at your house alone with your wife.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Hmm...we could probably do both dirt and tard, maybe one day of each?

    Who *can't* do the last weekend of June?

    And yes, we can hit up Bristol Falls again. Hopefully none of my "clients" will be present......
