Just catching up....
Hey Mark,
Don't listen to all the naysayers...What is it they say...."Wherever you go, there you are."
Most importantly, Armand's in Halifax is the local Triumph shop. Good folks and service, about 30 minutes from Fall River.
The Hen House down on 105 is a great trashy, divey biker bar. 105- pretty riding, and a great destination for drinking and cigarettes, although I doubt they'll pay you...
If you don't want city livin', but want to be close to Fall "Rive" ( yes, "Rive", as in "Reeeeeeve"), check out Datmouth, Achushnet, Rochester, Rehoboth, Berkely....If you wanna live near the H20, check out Fairhaven, Westport and Mattapoisett. If you want city livin' in FR, let me know and I'll find out the good neighborhoods (there are some, contrary to popular belief). Stay out of New Bedford, period. If you want to live in Providence, check out the East Side of Providence, not East Providence-that's different. The East Side is over by Brown University where allegedly one finds the hot, rich girls. Excellent live music scene in Providence.
RI has some awesome coastal riding....I tend to head off that way when I get bored of the Cape coast. There's great Cape riding, plenty of hidden gem secondary roads once you get over the bridge. Some good country roads in the Middleboro/Carver area.
Traffic is nothing compared to NYC. No real public transportation, though, in the Southcoast part of MA.
Let me know what other info you need!
