RI & Eastern CT Big Bike Drop-o-rama

check and see if the town/city plows them. if they do, you are paying for it with your taxes, and its public.

Weather is looking good for the weekend.. plan on being out at Pachaug on the Husaberg Friday,,and maybe over the weekend as well. Chance of rain is diminishing every day.

I should have Terrorflex mounted today, ready for adventure!!

Friday forecast 58ºF

In Cava, almost every year at Town Meeting, the DPW asks us to accept private roads as "public ways". Other than the town now having to maintain and repair the roads, I don't know what the significance of this is or if there is some official list of public ways.

Also in Cava, the town plows private ways that school buses travel on, and one road that is private (dirt, no houses, has name and street sign) so they can loop around to another road.

I have heard of something called a "County Layout" which has some significance on a roads status but I don't know anything more.

I may use that as my next rear tire on my 990.

Here it is...(this is the link...my computer does not embed). Please embed if you are able!

if i remember right i cleared that hill on the first attempt on the f8gs. those little bikes sure make it look super easy.

al has a nice little system of trails in that thar area.

Tire mounted, ready to party!



Got about 1" clearance to the front, 1/4 to the chain

can i ride with you guys on friday:?

Hey, "it happens..."

Great vid, CT D-S.

I predict chain rub and mud guard rub. IMHO

MATPOC, your tire just poked my eye out.

Will await review -- I understand those are a heavy beast, but I'm going to choose between that, the stonemaster and the 606 for the next knobby.

i had a 606 on my 09 klr its a good dot knobby that will dig trenches lol. took it off after 300 miles because it is exsesively loud on the asphalt.

Matt sure looked good though...he was the trim guy on that other blue and yellow bike.

Can't wait to ride Friday...what time kickstands up?

What are everyone's plans for Thanksgiving?? I know twisted will be having a "Black Friday" make sure you stay updated to our page my fellow riders !!

Lets aim for 1030 Friday.. I will be camping the night before.. so I should be there on time .. Mount Misery camp ground

How about Sat and Sunday.. anybody planning on riding?

Working.


Gotta support my bike habit somehow, 2x time isn't a bad way to do it.

I'm still planning to camp at mt Misery tomorrow (aka Thursday) night and ride the loop Friday. I may camp again friday night but I may head out after the ride. It depends on the weather amongst other factors..

Tomorrow I'm doing some family t-day stuff about 10 miles south of Mt Misery. I am not yet sure if I'll set up camp before or after the family commitments. It depends what time I get out there.. Either way I won't be hanging out at the campground until after dark, I figure 5-6pm if I'm lucky. No later than 7pm. If Matt and/or anyone else camping can post the # for their site at the campground that would be cool. If I set up early I'll try to do the same..

Not really on topic, but this makes me want to buy a tractor.
