This is just an update on the Mt. Greylock ride. I had originally posted a meeting time from between 7:15 and 7:45 but since we are meeting Jorge along the way I feel we should meet 15 min earlier. I'll have to take off by 1:00 latest whever we are....I have to get back in time to take my daughter to see the Green Day concert. 8)

Anyone who wants to come we are meeting here (below) between 7:00 - 7:30 and heading out rt. 6 to meet the others.
We'll have to leave I think by 7:30 so if you want breakfast, coffee...etc.... come early :lol:

Weather is going to be great so come on along. Not too many good riding weekends left.
The area is beautiful - nice roads and little traffic.

My bike is at the shop.. having problems with a noise in the drive shaft / tranny. I have to call today to see if it is ready and or if they have any ideas on the problem. I will let you know if I get the bike back tonight, if I do count me in but as of last they have no idea and no one seems to want to open it up.They are almost quick to say yes it sounds bad and I haven't heard one like that but I'd drive it... my response was if the thing locks up on my what happens then ?

Keep you posted

i missed out on that run and I really wanted to cruise out west.
Next week the Mass X Riders are heading down the cape, anyone up to hooking up and meeting up with them for the cruise down the cape?

I plan on rolling out of the Mobil gas station that is near Cardi's in Swansea around 7:15am 9/10 , I'll be there about 7:00 and hang around 15 or so minutes. There is a Mcdonalds near by incase anyone would like to get there before hand for a cofee and something to eat.
