CT riders? - Page 2

Panda · May 3rd, 2013, 10:18 AM

Hey, let's stick to your first idea. Meet you at Bryant Road and Taconic around 11:15ish then head over to Danbury.

Let you decide the best route there. Try to be at the Mobil around ~12.

Sound good?

eddiekay · May 3rd, 2013, 11:56 AM

If you've been where we're going I'd be hAPPY TO FOLLOW YOU and can be at Asto whenever you want. My only reservation is that getting across the triboro to any fast moving traffic is going to take 45 minutes. If you think that's enough to make danbury @ 12.......I;ll meet you under train bridge @ 10:30 latest.

adouglas · May 3rd, 2013, 12:26 PM

Eddie you bringing your loafers?

Chicks dig 'em.

Hey, I've never been to CT so this is all new to me. The train bridge in astoria where that little park is?

eddiekay · May 3rd, 2013, 01:11 PM

dan....yes,,,the train bridge in Astoria park unless you prefer something else
If you're coming up thru Greenpoint,,,,and dont plan on any others meeting up...I cant meet you on 21st immediately before the entrance to the 59th. OR....wahtver you want...I'm familiar with the area.
Actually...I wanted to get out earlier so I can meet you at BQE,,,,McGuinness Bld exit would be very easy.
To the writer frum connecticut.... no...no loafers but i do have a smart pair of brown slacks and sandals....white sox really set them off.

Panda · May 3rd, 2013, 02:05 PM

Hey Eddie I will be leaving from 31st and 44th at 1015 if you want we can meet there.

eddiekay · May 3rd, 2013, 03:05 PM

31 street and 44 ave ??????
Or 31st ave and 44 street
just give me an address and i'll be there by 10:15

Panda · May 3rd, 2013, 04:53 PM

44th street 31st ave.

eddiekay · May 3rd, 2013, 07:16 PM

10:15

lux · May 4th, 2013, 05:23 AM

I'll probably be there. Only riding for a couple of hours though, have to be back by 2:00.

Panda · May 4th, 2013, 06:44 AM

Cool see you there lux.

adouglas · May 4th, 2013, 04:35 PM

Good ride today, guys.

Eddie, we hit the same twisties (and a few new ones) on the way back and there was no traffic. GREAT fun!

Panda · May 4th, 2013, 06:28 PM

Was a great ride. Thanks for navigating @adouglas!

eddiekay · May 4th, 2013, 07:30 PM

i REGRET going home the quick way. I got to LI maybe 7:45....what time did you guys hit queens,,,the taco actually had a lot of traffic up north. Stilll...it was an excellent ride once we hit 7.

Panda · May 4th, 2013, 07:55 PM

I think we probably made similar time. I got back to Brooklyn around 815.
@lux good to see you man. Next tome you should come for the full run!.

There used to be a great jaguar shop in stratford. You need to get out of town. Ride up Wheelers Farm Rd and get through Orange, Woodbridge, and head up to Ansonia and ride with that crazy mad bastard, Winston from Connecticut, into Bethany. There are some great roads just north of you.

We used to keep one of our planes at Ansonia Airport. It's probably not there anymore. They probably made a golf course like they did to Bridgehampton. You need to hook up with CT and hit all the back roads in Woodbride, Seymore, and Bethany.

NJTP on Memorial Day weekend?

You have my sympathies.

Me, I think I'm going to try to find a nice, shady, twisty road someplace and have some quality time with my throttle.

I feel you but it shouldnt be too bad most people take off and leave tomorrow and friday especially the Bike week traffic to Myrtle. I'm usually heading south at this time of the year but it is my first time around the city so I'm planning a ride

crazymadbastard · May 23rd, 2013, 07:33 AM

Be safe out that way.
My safety course is not til june 5th...

eddiekay · May 23rd, 2013, 01:06 PM

Andy....lemme know if you come up with something. 7 was fun ? Havent checked weather but...whatever ?

eddiekay · May 23rd, 2013, 01:14 PM

Prince....first time to Philly ? Not to plan your ride but.....you can pick up 611 in Easton PA....ride the delaware past New Hope and I think 611 turns into a main street in philly. 95 is a long boring road from NYC to Philly

Saturday looks pretty wet.

At some point this weekend I'll be teaching a fine young thing from work how to drive a manual transmission car (I won't say "stick" because I KNOW you'll immediately go "there"

), but the time is TBD.

It's also my anniversary.

So it's pretty random at the moment.

Panda · May 23rd, 2013, 01:30 PM

Weather is irritating me. Wanted to get five hundred miles in this weekend. I did a quick trip up to Bear on a whim on Tuesday night.

Was nice except I was constantly worried about running over or into a deer.

eddiekay · May 23rd, 2013, 01:59 PM

500 miles....If weather is good I have an expressway triangle that's very near 500
Taconic to 90 (extremenmly fast road) to Boston to NY on 95....I think I clocked it @ 480. Really...I cant see making those miles on anyhting but expwy
Buuuuut.......
I can give you my catskills tour....leave early and i think we can get 440-ish on outstanding roads.
Both are 12 hour rides.
AB cant come, something to do with a stick and a chick and teaching her how to dive...or drive or soemthing.
