I'm located in central CT. I haven't ridden along the shoreline but I am looking to do so at some point. I've only had my bike for just under a year, haven't really explored the state yet. Maybe we can get a group together?

Nowak, a group ride would be fun. I know the shoreline in and out.
Lets keep in touch
Im just burning to get out again and ride..
I know a couple other HOG owners and theres talk of rides up to the R.I. beaches this summer.
Be cool to see how many people we could get to go.
Qball, Im about 25 minutes from brothers. rode there the other day.
Im sure youve been to Mikes Famous then in Groton?
I think Im going to trust them with the 1000 mile service.

I'm up in the new britain area, I bought my bike last year at Bridgeport Harley, and that is about the only place I have rode to near the shore. I usually cruise up in the litchfield area, beautiful riding area. But hey, any excuse to ride is good for me. When is the new Mike's going to open? That will definatly be a monthy ride for me.

Well personally I would not trust Mike's to do anything. I think they are the biggest rip off around. Yeah "Mike's has Bikes" but you'll pay out your ***.

I agree that the bike I was looking at there was quite above MSRP.
The service area impressed me as it was so clean and in order.
I'll have to check the parts prices.
Where to go.? Brothers has a lot of people that dont care for them either. Big time.
I guess thats why I bought my bike in Hartford..

Monkeyman, I bought my first bike @ Bridgport but that was a long time ago. they were good then. I never hear anything bad about them either come to think of it.
I've been wanting to go back there so when it warms up let me know when your gonna go and I'll take a spin on down there. Then maybe if Mikes has moved we can cruise out there and check it out.
