It seems that this spring & summer several people have tried to get a ride going, but not much luck.
Perhaps it is because thier are so many other things to do in this great weather.
The good weather will be slipping away before you know it. So if anyone is still interested please reply.

Saturday August 14th, I will have a grill and some space and some nice back roads for cruising around, and even a cold brook to go swimming in, it is about ten minutes off exit 8 of interstate 91 in VT (though it will be in New Hampshire, so we don't have to worry about the law getting after us. PM for directions, it will be kid friendly, and not very organized, plenty of space and a grill and some shade is all I can promise, I may have some meat and non alcoholic beverages, but bring your own just to be safe.

Naw, not going near PA. But the 15th is on. Same place. Would like to get all the New England folks to meet every Sunday during the summer. Each week in another state or town. LOL, I been saying that for years.

Side note, that park we rode to with the pier. found a ramp over the bridge to the other side of the CT river. Very cool and looking forward to showing folks.

Meeting up at the DMV motorcycle testing area. Their parking lot ends on a park grounds so has picnic tables and a great view over looking the cove. (an inlet off the CT river) DMV: Wethersfield Office Link has address. Gonna meet up between 11 and noon. I found some great ride routes to 3 parks all close by.

Looking forward to seeing ya!

Cool Taco & CM. The CT laws are as long as engine is under 5 brake HP and a seat height of more the 26 inches and your golden. There is a link in my signature.

"Motor Driven Cycles: If you have a motor scooter, moped or motorbike having a motor that produces 5 brake horsepower or less (or 3.7 kW or less) and a seat height of at least 26 inches, you may operate it on the roadway without registering it. However, you must have a valid motor vehicle operator’s license to operate it, and you may not operate it on any sidewalk, limited access highway or turnpike. If the maximum speed of your cycle is less than the speed limit of the road that you are on, you must operate in the right hand lane available for traffic or upon a usable shoulder on the right side of the road unless you are making a left turn. As of October 1, 2008, these vehicles are referred to as “motor driven cycles.”

Pretty cool, eh?

The wife and I will be there around noon. I wanted to go to PA but will be away till late on the 14th so I'm glad your having this ride. It was lots of fun last time, this is a nice location and Dan had some nice rides mapped out. if you can in any way make you should not let the opportunity pass. If you have never been to a meet up its so cool to meet talk and check out the other rides in person. and nothing beats being part of a whole gaggle of MB's roaring down the road. I had hoped to organize one (might still) but have been so busy that the summer is just flying by. look forward to seeing/Riding with you all.
