Well I'm all pruned up now, I think we've had enough rain.
I think a nice long ride is due just to dry up.
It's probably going to be another week or so, but I've got itchy feet now.
I was out around the North Shore area Sunday and I seen 4 accidents, about a dozen pumps pushing water, and a ton of homes with little black hoses hanging out of their basement windows.

I put just under 19000 on mine in the first 12 months of owning it living in New England Rob and that is with over 30 days downtime for an accident, you better keep working...LMAO.

Wish I was still up there though, down here in NC everything is flat and straight.  Fun sometimes but gets boring quick.

If its clear here by 7 I'll be there. Rode back from Attleboro in the rain on Monday so don't want to do it again so soon. Got to ride to Williamsport PA on Friday, so plenty of chance to get wet again then.

leaving Greenfield for PA in the morning-back Monday night.Looks like I'll miss the rain both ways. I'd like to run the Kanc and up thru Crawford Notch once more this year (and first time on the Busa) before the weather turns to shit for the winter. Shooting for late Sept/early Oct for that.

Hey all just wanted to let you know about a ride I am setting up with my girlfriend. She wants to get a little more riding in before the end of the season and having been unable to do so with having to go through the treatments of her cancer she is now in remission and had the port in her chest taken out this last weds. So she wanted me to put together a little ride, she has her own bike which is great and loves to ride which is even better, So I have mapped out a little ride leaving from Cherry Rum Plaza in Greenfield off of Bernardston road and we'll be leaving around 10 am. I have a bunch of local friends that ride whom are going and everyone is welcome. We will leave from the Plaza head up Route 5 to the Route 10 crossover to the intersection of Route 63/10N all the way to Keene then riding Route 9 down to Searsburg VT to Route 8S where we'll take that to MT. Greylock for some scenic views and a lunch/snack/break. From there head down Route 8S to the Route 9E intersection and ride that down through till we hit Route 116 and back to Route 5/10 back to the Plaza. This is actually my first time putting together a ride so bear with me I'm new at it and we will be on some main roads. Just thought I'd throw that out there for everyone, This will be my last ride as I will be putting my bike up for the rest of the year so I can do some more mods to it for next year. Thanks for all your time everyone.

                                                  Josh Haskins

Just to let people also know there will be quite a few female riders and some newbies so it will be more of a cruise and most speed limits especially in towns will be obeyed. 8)
 
P.S. If you need any info you can email me at jstang58@yahoo.com or message me here and I can give you directions or answer any questions you may have.

Going to start mapping out a ride for spring, I know it's early but I've got the bug so mine as well put it to work right? lol. I'll keep everyone informed about it both here and other sites, also Myspace. My girlfriend and I had a great Turn out back on October 10th of last year I believe that was the date. Weather was 22 in the morning but due to warm up a bit which it did. Only when we got to our last stop we got to experience riding in a white out. Yep a blizzard like snow fall while on top of Mt. Greylock it was great though, met some awesome people. 30 bikes and 33 riders that day and we hope to have more than that and to meet even more people, so check back often and I will keep you updated. Also my girlfriend Angela wants to set up a charity ride at some point A Ride for Cancer. She was diagnosed with 2nd stage Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in the beginning of last year (Jan) and is now in remission, so this is something we'd like to do. We'll keep you informed of that also. Thanks for your time

This last snow storm they laid down a ton of salt and Calcium Chloroide so I'm not taking mine back out until we get a few good rainy days. A friend of mine good his new Daytona Triumph and has been riding as long as there hasn't been any snow and his bike looks like crap. All the aluminum is wickedly oxidized, and anything that may be exposed for steel is very rusted and it's a brand new bike!

Wired up my Gerbing heated jacket liner and gloves on Saturday. Went for a 1hr 1/2 ride. My favorite mod yet.

Going to pick up the socks after work. Looks like the weather will hold thru Wednesday.

Ride on!
