Sat. 7-12 lunch in Northampton MA

[ctrider]

HwyRider and I are meeting at the bluebonnet diner at 12pm for lunch if we have decent weather. There specialty is broasted chicken. My wife is probably going so I thought I would make it a single or 2up ride. After lunch were going to ride along Rt.116 very scenic very twisty to Rt8 or 8A over to Rt2 Mohawk trail back to Greenfield Ma. From there you can pick up I 91. Last time we did the ride we rode along the Quabbin Reservoir on the way back home round trip from CT was just over 200 miles.

Hope to meet some of you guys.

It's a week from Saturday. The scenery is just as nice as up in NH. Up 495 to the pike, then out the pike to the Springfield exit, and then up 91 to Northampton.

If you decide to go let me know. I can meet you on 495 in Attleboro. Bring Victor and Rosa if they want to get out for a nice full day of riding.

Haha, I fooled myself - for some reason I thought this post was announcing that you guys were shooting up there like right now (yesterday) from 7am till noon! I have got to slow down and read all the clues before typing replies. Saturday 11 days from now is a whole other animal - maybe that could work out! I'll have to check my schedule...now that I have Bonnie in my life things are getting planned in advance and I can't keep track of them all. If we aren't committed to something else already I'll def be interested in this ride.

Sounds good. Evan's wife would definatley feel better if there was another female along for the ride.

A friend of ours will be joining us. She rides a Ridley one of those automatic motorcycles.

Would be nice to meet you ID hope you can make it

[HwyRider]

How many CCs on the Ridley?

[Silent Sam]

My scooter riding buddy "Big thunder" rides some sort of Asian Scooter...it has a CVT...and will get with-it...better on the take off than my 02 Nomad, and a friends Harley..but after about a city block we can pass him real easy...

I believe the Ridley is 750 cc's.

[ctrider]

Her bike is not a scooter but a full size motorcycle. Not sure on the cc's. I believe she said they went belly up when HD sued them over the name auto glide like they had something to worry about. She is an accomplished rider

[HwyRider]

BigRed is in.

My cousin had one, loved it. But when they were going to shut down she sold it. They are a full sized bike, 750 cc's. This is just one model.

Boy I just looked this up on the map - it would be a full day allright. It would be 183 miles for me till I even get to the Bluebonnet. As much as I'd like to see the route you guys are talking about it's not going to be practical. I know you are a Madman Neil but until I get my seat working better 9 hours in the saddle is less fun than it should be. Too rich for my blood I'm afraid.

We will have to try and get one closer to you before the end of riding season.
