Seekonk, Mass and Newport,RI

[badinfluence63]

Heading to Seekonk Mass and Newport, RI for a day trip tomorrow to visit some buds who own Titos Cantina restaurant. It'll be about 400miles round trip and not in the safety of the montain roads of up here. It will be the meat grinder called I-95 and 195.

If something happens and I don't make it back.....its been great and its been real. It ain't been real great though.

Peace/out.

Traveller...no hard feelings just different opinions.

You got to go down Ocean Drive, one of the best rides on the East Coast. True New England.
The only part of 95 you will have to worry about is the interchange of 195. Stay left at all times as you come into north Providence. 195 is a left exit, so be ready for it.
Newport, Nothing like the smell of sea air mixed with the smell of money!

When was the last time you were out there, its changed. Due to construction heading south on I-95, 195 is now a right exit but swings left once on it. Exit 20. It was confusing at first because even mapquest says its a left exit.

Got only as far as Seekonk,Mass, exit one off 195 once back in in Massachusetts. Titos Cantina. Fine Mexican food. College buddy owns it and haven't seen him since the Guns and Roses concert at the Worcester Centrum back in 1992-3? It was good to see Ritch. Its not fair that every time I catch up to one of my old buddies I'm the oly one who has wicked grey hair.

I-95 near Boston wasn't as bad as I thought. When heading home ended up on I-290 thru Worcester,Mass. That whole stretch of highway thru Worcester is chewed and screwed. You don't know that till you go ripping on it at 60-70 mph and then feel your bike feeling skiddish.

415 miles for the day. Didn't kill myself either. Hated coming home. Can't wait until next September when I head to the West coast.
