Hey GWN! I've been lurking for awhile, posting every now and then and didn't even see this post till today.

I live in Wilmington. And am a totally noob on my bike.

Furthest north I've rode is Avondale, PA and furthest south is Laurel, DE.

How's it going?

nice.. yeah im in newark, off rt40. theres a bunch of 250 riders around here but guess they dont get on the forums. theres gotta be at least 10 just around here by me alone that ive seen. i dont ride much in wilmington other then when i take the bike to work.. usually i ride out in newark, or down state like rt9.

I've been on Route 9. I'll usually ride between St. Augustine Beach and 141. It's an OK ride, but feel paranoid about the speed restrictions in certain spots. I'm always expecting a speed trap to be waiting around the corner.

i usually ride with a buddy i work with who has a harley and we try to ride in different places.. newcastle county and slighlty into kent county, thats usually the rt9 ride from newcastle down to smyrna area.. also usually ride with a silver t-rex, if you see that thing im usually somewhere around it..lol!

Not Delaware, but I'm only a few miles north of the border in PA. Went to school at UDel though, so I've spent a buncha time in Newark.

Yeah, there is a bunch of nice stuff that winds around the Brandywine River area there and you can eventually wind up in Wilmington or other North Delaware spots. I don't get a chance to ride strictly for pleasure regularly, so I usually just hit that area up because it's so close to where I'm at.

Hate to revive an old thread but this is probably the closest thing I'll get to finding local riders.

I live in Newark, just joined the forums. Planning on riding through the end of November, I'd love to find some other people to ride with on the weekends.

Sorry for ressurecting old thread,
me and another member are planning a little ride around Delaware on Thursday March 8. If any of you are in the area and would like to join us, that would be awesome!

We are planning on meeting around Dover, DE.

If you're free tonight and bored, we're probably doing something in Philly later on. Probably around 8. There's a big Tuesday night get-together that a few of us normally hit. I'm planning to get there if at all possible.

Going to check out a group ride "sponsored" by a local dealership this Sunday, July 22nd from 11AM to 4PM.

It's a "newbie" ride intended for riders new to motorcycling or just new to group riding.

Group leaves the dealership in Bear, DE and heads down to Boondocks restaurant in Smyrna for lunch and then takes a scenic route back to the dealership.

It should be a beautiful day for riding and a meetup. So, if any local DE riders are interested, maybe I'll see you there.

Ride info from the dealership's website here: http://www.powersportseast.com/eventslist.htm

i'll actually be home this weekend, and I was debating going. But it's on Sunday meaning 5 hours there and then 2 more hours riding back here to get ready for work..might be too tiring. :/

First Post here.

Got a used blue 2010 ninjette about four weeks back.

Live at Rt 40 in Bear area.. Would definitely look forward to group rides - but would like to start small :)

(Missed the Smyrna ride from powersports as I was still going through the hassle of titling the bike at the DMV.. but now all that is resolved.. )

I am sure you will enjoy the MSF. i did mine at New Castle DMV. The instructors were great and they provided the bikes - so awesome.

I had a ton of experience on smaller bikes elsewhere and thought I knew everything and I STILL learnt so many things from the MSF that were brilliant.. I totally underestimated the importance of MSF.

September works for me - wont be going anywhere for a while..
