February - 2012
I am writing this on February 1. Our last Tuesday
breakfast at E & J's for this year had four bike riders.
Mike Salvemini came 70 miles from Connecticut. Someone told me
that Connecticut uses Salt water instead of sand for the snow.
So Ken and I ventured off to Sweet Evelina's to see if this was
true. R.I.'s roads, back roads that parallel route 102,
were very good for this time of year. We have a bit of sand
here and there, but the conditions are better than last year 's
March. Once in Connecticut, the road conditions were
excellent. No sand, all the way to the restaurant.
Off course, the farm road still have the mud tracks from the local
farmer tractors. The best part of our ride was the
Temperature. My bike recorded a high of 57 in Woodstock.
It hovered around 54 the whole ride. When was the last time
you road in January in these conditions. It sure looks like
global warming is treating us well. Who knows, with a
fantastic December and January behind us, what February has in store
for us. Could we see a early spring warm up?????
Oh, We are moving on to a new restaurant in Narragansett.
Charlie's recommendation, last one was a bust. He assured us
that the food was good. And for me, he said it was cheap!
Ah! Good & Cheap, now that is my kind of place. Patti's
Restaurant is it name and it is located on Congdon Street, 4th Right
South from Coast Guard house on 1A. At this time, I have no
address but the street is not very long and it should be easy to
find. Finally, Our new Brunch hours 9:00am to 10:00am. I don't
know about you but I usually have breakfast before 7:00 am.
Waiting till 9:00 is a drag.
Moving on, I have posted some of the MAX's web posting.
Please note, they will have a Garmin GPS class in the Conn.
Max BMW on Feb. 18th. We can car pool or ride depending
on the weather. Let's see if there is any interest at our next
meeting. Also, check out the new MAX series of Videos.
I posted the oil change link on our event page. MAX's faceBook
has another one on installing an after market muffler. Check
it out, Knowledge can be dangerous but very helpful.
Finally, least I spend all day at my computer, is our February
meeting. This is your opportunity to get in yours dues money
before they go to $25. Also, the first meeting with a
$50 Razee gift certificate drawing, . And to spice things up,
it's Motorcycle Vintage clothing night. The best dressed will
win a $50 Razee gift certificate. Both Paid Members
Only. Now, do you get the gist of what we are trying to do
here. We want you to participate.
See you around, if Saturday is nice let's ride. I will
be at Razee 10:00am - 11:00 am.
