Yeah, we've only owned ATV's as we love casually riding throughout the summer all over Maine. We also enjoy the ATVing while camping. We love it! Today was just a day ride. Lots of fun. Perfect weather! Good food.

I used to ride dirt bikes with a guy in his 60's and he could still ride fast. I retired from dirt bikes after shattering my leg racing motocross in Greene. Haven't been on one since!

I rode dirt bike with the New England Trail Riders Association. At one time I was listed with them as a trail scout. Had a lot of fun on the trails and climbing hills. Got pretty good at it. Sold the trail bike for a Yamaha 250 cc to use back and forth to work.

One of my dreams was to own a big ole' Harley Electra glide or an Indian. You know the kind that if you don't hit the kick start the right way it would throw you over the handle bars ...

Technically it never was part of Mass. In the 1600's part of southern Maine was partitioned to the Mass. Bay Colony for colonization and permit by King Charles. But the failure to do so left the Province of Maine to it's own devices & around the 1820's became a state.

So even though Boston thought of Maine as a suburb it really wasn't.

By the grace of God Maine never became part of Mass even though to this day we are still invaded by the inhabitants of your state.

By the way Maine had more Canadian's and almost became part of Canada.

In regards to your jest of Maine all I can say is .......... "Gotcha"

The leading is going good so far. Just got a lot of reading to do and being sick all weekend didn't help...

My in laws bought a house in new gloucester, maine that is over 200 years old and they said somewhere in the original papers that it was build in Mass...
