Hi STN, Im Eric from CT, Ive been enjoying your site from the sidelines for a little while, in fact I found out about you just before the hack. Sure glad to see its back up. My reason for joining is to find some new riding buddies, explore some new roads and learn some new ways to do this motorcycling thing better.

Check out region 6, especially this spring.
Oh, Welcome.

Welcome
I'm down the road a piece on the other side of new haven along the shore.
My bro and I rode this past weekend. Don't know if we'll be riding this weekend. That's up to mother nature.
Good to have you aboard.

Welcome, Gaps. My Mom lives in Storrs, but she's here visiting for the weekend. She keeps trying to talk me into a visit, and tells me the countryside is beautiful. Lucky you!

Thanks for the welcome, its great to find some CT riders. Just for the record.. Im not a hardcore corner demon or a freeway flier either. My comfort zone is a bit over the posted, quick enough to keep me entertained but not over my head.
You can take off out front, ok with me, please dont ride up my ass, just leave me be.
With that...I'm planning on riding Sunday morning, 12/10, and being home mid afternoon. If anyone has the time for riding, I'll buy the coffee.

Well? How'd it go?
Great, got up to 52F, roads were pretty clean, bit of salt but not bad yet, traffic pretty light
Where did you end up?
Mostly around the CT river valley, near Goodspeed, Devils Hopyard, 148,154,82,151,66,16,etc..a nice little loop to no place special.
Who ended up showing
Two plus me, guys I ride with regularly.
Oh god. One week off of 2 wheels and I am jonesing. Not good...
Haha....you should have come out, it was a fine day for riding.

I know that loop!
We hit it and end up on 32 heading north towards Willington and then to Ashton to hit Sneakers for some food and drink.
I wish I could've made the ride with ya'.
