I had 2, count 'em , 2 TBA sightings today! Chuck, from Weymouth, MA, who I told about this site (and about the NH Rally) was on his 2002 pre-fire TBA up at Boston HD- there was a run to benefit Jane Doe, Inc. (domestic violence). Hey Chuck! I hope you got home safe and are finding your way to this site! Introduce yourself! The "isolated" T-storms forecast for this afternoon seemed to glomm all together into one, mostly torrential with road flooding, ginourmous storm that ran from Salem, NH to Dorchester... What makes people think they can drive cars through 2 1/2- 3 feet of water on 1A/Rte 16? I was riding as a passenger with my new gentleman aquaintance and his little boy (HD with a sidecar), it was quite an adventure for the little guy, and folks probably thought we were as foolish as I thought the people were who had attempted to drive through 3 feet of water on a clearly flooded road. I am now bonded with my rain gear. How did I ever live without it? The second TBA, a black one, a (smart, as evidenced by her excellent color choice) woman was riding though the center of Salem with a man friend on another bike. Which I didn't really notice, cuz It wasn't a Triumph.

Hi Paula. Just saw your post and see you're from Mass. so I just wanted to say hello to a fellow New Englander. I'm living in North Georgia now, but I grew up in Quincy, just south of Boston/Dorchester. Keep looking for those Americas, they are out there.

And how deep can a Triumph go before the water's too deep?

Hey Paw!
I was born in Dorchester, St. Margaret's hospital.
Is there an exodus from the NE in the works?

Wassup massholes!!  I was on the cape Friday visiting my friend and his two young kids. Then spent the weekend in Wilmington for my bachellor party Good times. A couple SERIOUS rounds of candle pin at the Bowlodrome, and some frizbee after the yard drained from the 2 feet of water we got in about an hour... Some crazy storms eh? Anyway, I had a wicked pissa good time driving around my old haunts. I do miss the old school New England town square... Nothing else like it!

Wow, I haven't been called a "masshole" in, like, forever. Got a cousin who lives in Maine, and even though he grew up in Quincy with me, he now refers to us as "massholes". Amazing! You also used the word "pissa". Haven't heard that one in a long time either. Great to read your words. Paw

Did you all say "nippa" too? Or was that just a south of Boston thing?

Is that the phonetic spelling? Like "pissa" is really "pi$ser" ya know? Well either way, no, must be a south shore thing. What's it mean? Admitedly, I only spent 7 years there, college +2, so I'm no expert, but I can talk to the locals no problem And yes, I do have stirling character The only rated R stuff I saw was on the TV! We watched Beerfest
