New England Riders

[WitchCityBallabio]

You might want to try Cycles 128 in Beverly, or perhaps Greater Boston Motorsports in Arlington I think. They usually have a good selection.

Just went and scoped out these Ma. Guzzi guys..they got a breakfast thing

happening @ the Vinilla Bean May 13th @ 8:30am

The Beans a pretty good local spot ..cross rds. of 169 and 244 Pomfret Ct.

Great ride for me up 97 or 169.

So is this thing still on? Mother's Day is a perfect day for me to get away! Really. Joe

I did an intensive search about a year ago to find an AGV helmet in the New England area.

 

I called 20 or 30 places without any luck. Seems no one stocks them but they are available to anyone who is a "parts unlimited" dealer. All will order one for you but some want a restocking fee if you don't take it. They will re-order the correct size at no additional charge.

 

I was in Florida a few months later and struggled to find a dealer down there only to find they don't fit my round head. It really sucked because by that time I REALLY wanted one.

 

Guess I just wanted to look a little like Valentino.

 

Good luck.

I know I've posted these before but these are great rallies and I didn't see any of you @

Frosty Nutzz this w/e so I thought I'd give you another poke.

 

Frosty Nutzz was awesome... 50 riders or so

Great weather, good friends, fantastic roads winding through

Vermont. A post card picture around every corner. 3 Guzzis. A Dead Horse, a Duff and

my LeMans. (Love digging in the spurs up those switch backs)

 

I know I started this thread to get some 20 of us together from Albany to Maine for

breakfast or more likely lunch but I had forgot about the yard, the roof, the boat

the huge cherry tree now lying in the yard. The season has just started.

Keep the faith and meanwhile maybe try to make one of these great rallies.

And shame on you if you even miss the Guzzi rallie in Monson Ma. in Sept.

I've got a few other trips and meetings to make (Va., Quebec, IMOC in Sturbridge)

and there's a couple dozen striped bass out there thats gonna end up on my grill.

If anyone is interested, Eastern Cycle is having a "Head for the Hills" ride to Vermont on the 20th. The cost is 10 bucks per, and includes breakfast and lunch.

 

Sounds like a good time.

As an update, if anyone is planning on doing this ride, I spoke with the organizers of this event and they told me lunch was at a 4 star (Fodors rated) Barbecue joint.

 

Also, there is a chance the weather is not going to cooperate, so keep an eye on that website for a rain date/reschedule.
