WEEKLY RIDE IDEA * ** * sound off* * *

I think we should have a set ride day, time and location.. For example Wed nights at 6 Home Depot in S. Attleboro.... then it is known that on that day someone or at least 4 or 5 bikes are going for a ride..no question.... we could meet up someone that knows a nice back road to ride on we ride and then grab some eats.. . . We could hit some new twisties every week. ..

Re: WEEKLY RIDE IDEA * ** * sound off* * *

Spence, I like the idea of a weekly ride but not at the same place every week. I would like to set up a few meeting places (4 or 5 ) scattered around a bit, then rotate through the locations. That way we could spread the travel distance out a bit. Kevin and I could post the locations, dates and times on our websites, then all someone would have to do was go look where the meeting place will be.

Just my $.002

Re: WEEKLY RIDE IDEA * ** * sound off* * *

SGC and I met up with Taz and Sfrgrl tonight and we agreed that it would not be fair to have guys/gals riding up from all over when others would not have to travel as much... So he proposed that we choose 4 or 5 designated spots across mass and RI and alternate every week. So that one week everyone would meet in Plymouth and ride the twisties there, then the next week meet in RI and do the same thing there and so forth.. . At least this would be fair to everyone and we would be switching up the routine a bit. . . Whatever area you guys know of some good roads, suggest them and we will take them all into consideration. . Hopefully not too much sand or traffic of course. . .

Re: WEEKLY RIDE IDEA * ** * sound off* * *

I'd agree...4 or 5 different places sounds cool. That way we can ride different areas each time. I'd suggest a weekend day since most people work on the weekdays. Maybe Saturday late morning or something. Personally, I'd rather ride in daylight than at night.

Re: WEEKLY RIDE IDEA * ** * sound off* * *

Hey I like the sound of that. A weekend would ne nice, and maybe a weekday night as well. A nice way to relax inthe middle of the week with some friends. I like the idea of a night cruise (prob not best for the twisties, save that for the day), but a nice cruise then eats, sounds great.
Sunday was awesome, it was great meeting all of you for the first time. Something setup like that every sunday would be sweet. Yes, we need to stagger our locations though. Although I was spoiled, I had all of a 1.6 mile trip to HD, it wont take long for the Boys in Blue to catch on to us being there every sunday.
Personally, I think it'de be great if we all got together once a week, like some silly biker gang. Humm, if we were in Biker Boys, what could we call ourselves, the Nutty Banana;s? Ha. Anywhoo, I think its a great way to get in some quality ride time with some quality riders. Most of you know alot of riders, but I on the other hand dont, and im sure there's more with few riding buddies. I dunno, just my thoughts on the whole thing. Well...
If you decide on something, keep me informed!!! Doug

PO PO. . can show up or catch on if they like. . we are not doing anything stupid or anything that would bring the heat down on us, so I am not worried about it. . . now if we start stunting down route 1 coming out of home depot, then we would be screwed. . . There was another guy on a gixxer that rolled up after the bigger group had left and asked about finding some folks to ride with. . We told him to join gixxer.com and check out the board. . Don't know if he has joined up yet. . . He was on his way to a bachelor party and that is why he did not join us. .

Hey dickie, I'm in webster and I know the twisties your talking about. They are pretty bad ass. I love riding down 197 I believe it is. All the way down to 84. Then I cruise around those roads for a bit and take the trip back, repeat as often as desired. We should hook up sometime. Shoot me a PM let me know.

Hey Grinch, skynett how did you like that road. . . I know that I am dreaming, but how sweet would it be if that road was only accessible to motorcycles for a day . . . I would lose my mind and I would probably spend a whole day on that road.
