Hey XL - I know what you mean...there are few in here. Like most things in CT, unless you know where to look, it feels pretty empty (or lame)...but once you figure it out...great.

I was just minding my own business heading out for a ride (alone, of course once again) down the shore...passed through Branford on RT 1...looked to my right and HOLY S**T...there were something like 1,000 bikes (no kidding) in three parking lots, tents, etc. Turned out to be an annual charity ride put on by the Red Knights to support child burn victims. I paid my $20, hung around and rode 50 miles (2 hours, though!)...though it was more than a touch tiring as THAT many bikes, even with the State Patrol escort, was not entirely relaxing...especially given the guys I ended-up in and around (rubber banders, if ya know what I mean)...but it's tough for all different riding styles to do perfectly together...I've been in a LOT worse.

Anyway...I just found www.ctbikersguide.com they seem to do a decent list of events, etc.

Later,

SG

East Windsor CT here... about as north as you can get without bumping over into MA. But we've got nice backroads up this way for sure!

Glad to see the replies.......(from sgnden and DarkKnight1963)
At least I'm losing my mind. I will keep checking back and hopefully get up that way - on 2 wheels !

What good stealers are there (btw...) ?
I find Gengras HD in East Hartford to be a top notch dealership. I bought my bike from Bridgeport HD because they had the lowest price and took my non-HD in for a trade sight unseen for more than it was worth in Kellys Blue Book.

I like most of the dealerships in Ct, but would use only a couple for service.

So far, I've found TSI in Ellington CT to be a really responsive dealership. I had a few issues with my bike when I first got it, they responded quickly, and even took care of a few things I hadn't brought up! (Rear calipers needed reworking) Presently I'm taking the Rider's course through them as well, and again, it's been good so far! I have yet to get over to Gengras, but I can tell you, it's a friendly rivalry between those two up in the neck of the state!

Hope to hear back more from the other CT riders here! Who knows.. may even meet up on a ride of some form!

Norwalk, CT here. I don't get out that much, but if any guys are down in this area let me know. I'm an HOG member at Fritz HD in Stamford, but most of their rides are on Sundays and I have kids in sports and Sundays are tough.

Plainville,CT here.We just got done with a ride down the shore.There are quite a few decent roads in this state;even though I go on the same ones over and over.
