New England B.S. Thread

I love NH BUT Connie and I would always head west to Vermont to sno-shoe or weekend get-aways....Traffic just seemed to mellow once you crossed over onto Rt.5 or Rt.4, Keltons train station ,Quechee's everything and Class 4 roads to enjoy quietly....the quiet disturbed by the noise of an air-ballon taking flight seemily out of a back yard or stopping by the village shops to watch Craftsman creating beautiful pieces....

 

Yea fuck 5-6 hours not gonna happen. My stock Diablo Rosso II's are awesome on dry but pick up shit like its their job. And in the rain they are stunning. I highly recommend them if they come in your size and price range. When I need tires I won't buy them because of the cost. $208 each plus mount, internal balance and TPMS recalibration. I love this bike but I know I made the wrong decision. Thing has way to much sack and its addicting

 

My bike is pretty comfy for long rides but I've only done like 50 miles at a time, so I don't know quite yet. The seat is incredible though!

Now if only it would run longer than an hour haha

 

I had power pilots on my cbr . I loved them . Very sticky once warmed up . They gave me a ton of confidence in my cornering .

 

That's pretty cool. Mike. Did you get some poutine up there? I always wanted to try me some, since I like french fries, gravy, and cheese...just never had it all together, lol.

[Edit, had to correct a typo. I love MSI Dragon Edition laptop for game playing, but the keyboard sucks for typing.]

 

Hi John - I'm looking for a Honda CRF-150F at a good price off-season. 2008+, nothing that's been beaten on. If you know anyone who's selling something clean and cheap, could you let me know?

 

Video games, now bikes!? You're getting cooler by the post lol

 

For Christ's sake, I am a three generation 4x4 truck owner, who just bought a 42k factory rig (that was just sticker price), and you think I'm cool because I play video games and ride motorcycles? Okay, I guess I'll take that. lol.

 

Video games never hurt of course Been playing since I was 6 with the Mattel Intellivision. Still have to make another trip to NH and spend them tokens, was going to go last month but didn't have the funds for fuel and food..thanks to my "car buddy"

 

$208 isn't too bad, I think I paid $165 on my last rear tire last year (and I got a good deal on them, usually I'm in the 180 range). They're probably not great tires for what I do with the bike though. I spend a lot of time on longer trips so I tend to stick to sport touring tires.

I used to have the 1990 version of your bike, it's pretty comfy. I took it on a trip from Albany to the Outter Banks, NC and back when I graduated from college. It was an awesome trip!

Of course! We made a few trips all the way up to Montreal but almost every weekend we'd go across the boarder, hit a little café with poutine, then make a U-turn, duty free shop and back to the states.

 

Pilot powers are awesome tires. The 2CTs are supposed to be even better.

 

I had an Intellivision too, along with a Collecovision. I didn't have the cool Atari everyone else had though

 

Hahahaha that too lol. But it's not about the price, it's about how you build and drive it

 

You paid 42k for a Tacoma that's nuts ...

 

I've heard nothing but good reviews on those. Mine are stock so they are not the greatest. I have confidence in corners just I'm not killing corners how many compounds are those? I have killer chicken strips I have to take care of

 

Eventually got the Colecovision and Atari..old and new design both, still have em somewhere.

 

Yeah Mike, I almost bought a 1990 CBR 600 too. But I decided on the 97 F3 instead. It's VERY comfy

I did have an Atari, but it wasn't the cool one. Mine looked like a giant computer keyboard. Wasn't compatible with the cool Atari games.

It was the 1200XL

 

Now that I think about it, I don't take that shit. I love being off-road. I've seeked it since I was a kid and first learned to drive on my Dad's lap in his '64 Chevy truck when I was 5 years old. He let my drive his mother's Nova 4-door when I was 6. She's dead now, but shhhhhhhh.
