Hey All,
I just got my Monster a couple weeks ago and I'm learning to ride. I was wondering if there were any riders here that live in or around Salem that go out as a group and wouldn't mind a noob tagging along. It'd just be cool to know that there were other Monsters around my area with a group I could ride with every once in a while.
I posted in the introduction forum but just in case you guys don't read all that spam, hello world! :wine

There are two of us in Ipswich who are on here.

yup... Ipswich here!
Sweet deal! You guys ever join any of the group rides that I see talked about?
Or have any nice roads to cruise on like 127 that you'd like to share?
I'll probably be practicing just around town to start but I want to have the allure of a really good ride as incentive to get good real fast.
I live in Roslindale right outside of the city, but would definitely be game for cruising up to the North Shore for a group ride....Lemme know!! wt:

While nice, those roads tend to fill up fast with traffic. I tend to stick to the other side of 1A and have been riding a lot of roads in Byfield, Groveland, Boxford and Ipswich, and Hamilton.
What bike are you on? I'd be game to meet up with you some night after work for a lazy cruise when you are more sure of yourself.
Did you take the MSF course?

Nice! As soon as soon as I'm fully functional on a bike I'd love to have a little North Shore group ride thing going on. But don't let me stop you guys from starting one now! [cheeky]

Yea! An uncle's buddy recommended the Boxford area as a nice place to cruise around. Nice to see a consensus.
I (will) ride a yellow 1998 Monster 750. Riding after work some night sounds like a plan! Dude! I'm so psyched...I feel like a little kid!
I just passed the written portion of the MSF a few hours ago actually.... when I was a tad bit more sober. I got the riding portion coming up on the 22/23 :-\
I'm insanely tempted to try riding it sooner, the 22nd is so far away... and now with the prospect of riding after work and a possible four of us for a group ride.... argh! The waiting is killing me!
I'm right down 1A (or 128/1 depending on how you look at it) in Wnthrop. A North Shore ride sounds like a good time to me [thumbsup]
I work in Beaverly, so I'm in the Northshore quite often...riding instead of working.
Q
They're saying that Saturday (May 31st) will be partly cloudy, anyone up for a ride then if the weather turns out alright? If not, maybe a week from then?
I was planning on going out later today (Memorial Day) too, so if anyone else wanted to ride, I'd be game to meet up.
Let's see who we can put together for a ride in the near future! :)
Hey man, I live on the border of Arlington Heights and Lexington but I'm always up for a good ride! Let me know when you guys go out.
