I have to be in NY on the 14th for a private showing for the builder whose bikes I've been painting.
We're staying on the island at Ts sisters and will probably hang around for a couple of days.
Anyone feel like meeting up somewhere, maybe Wednesday?
Let me know.
I'm working all day Wednesday but... you wanna go race go carts on Friday?!

I don't think I'll still be in town on Friday.
I was actually thinking of meeting up at night...
since most people work days.
Damn, I really wanna go race go carts again... oh well. Where out on LI are you going to be and what sort of activity were you thinking of - grilled cheeses? Drinks?
I'm game. The 14th, eh?
Lemme check the calendar... yep - clear! 8)
Her sister lives in Manhasset (sp) right near the train station.
I was thinkin...drinkin' ;D

Speaking of trains... are you planning on jumping on one that's heading towards the city, or are you gonna stay out in the sticks (sorry GL :P)?

I did the Cancun Pan, Van's Shovel, The Riviera, and a 2008 version of the 4 speed (not pictured...it's still in my shop)....and one other that's not pictured.
The Shovel, Riviera, and the new 4 speed are going to be shown, along with the Salt Flat bike, and the Ferrua Pan...and I'm not sure about the Fritzcarraldo.

Don`t know manhasset bars too well but it`s only a few Lirr stops to nyc. rockville center has a few bars. Or you cold go to bell blvd in Bayside for some Guido BOOM BOOM.
Well...
as usual it seems that trying to plan anything is friggen useless. [bang] [bang] [bang]
We don't have a baby sitter for Wednesday now, so it looks like if folks want to meet up it's going to have to be Tuesday night after the show in the city.
That won't be until 10 or 11, not sure what time the thing even starts, so if that's too late for the peeps that have to be to work in the am I completely understand.
If anyone is still up for it, we are.
Hey Nate,
Agreed, those are some nice bikes. And I'm not into Harley's either.
Just let us know when and where?
~Terry

Nate,
I think that a number of us can still be out that late on a school night. 8)
Please tell us where the showing is being held, and we'll help find a convenient place for a gathering! [beer]

Say word, I work only a few blocks away. For hanging out options may I suggest -
La Esquina (http://www.esquinanyc.com/), or Puck Fair (http://www.puckfairbarnyc.com/), or maybe meet up at the Ear since it's an MC related get together. If those places don't strike your fancy, there are a TON of places in Nolita that we can go to, or not, as they're all bound to be filled with hipster scum I'd rather punch in the throat. [laugh]

I'm going to leave the meeting place up to you guys.
I'm a bumpkin' from Nh.
If they have vodka...
I'll be happy. ;)
Let me know the addy.

+1 Puck Fair
I do like Fontanas as of late. They play decent music to me anyway, Misfits, Blackflag, Specials, etc.
Any of the above would work for me. The Ear is a bit of a walk for Nate though, not to mention it will be crowded and has been pretty much taken over by the GS crowd. Getting a large table will also be difficult. Sweet and Viscious might cause GC to punch yuppie scum in the throat :-\
-1 La Esquina
Unless they've changed crowds since their opening, I'm not down with that pretentious place.

I'm afraid any place we go that's close by will be filled with pretentious folks hence my statement above... the owner of La Esquina does owe me though (as much as I'd loved to scissorkick his ass)... regardless, I'm now 50/50 about whether I'll be able to make it or not. It all depends on my homegirl's schedule which I won't know about until the day of.

An even longer walk for Nate than The Ear, and moving up to the East Village also opens up a whole bunch of new places. Are we eating? Budget? type of food? Is Zeke going to be there? I'm not anti Ear, since moto parking is easy.
Nope...
Z will be on the Island.
We could grab a cab...
they still have those in NY...
right? ;D
Pick a place you guys like.
We just have to catch the last train to LI.
and as stated...
if they have good vodka...
I'll be happy.
McFaddens in Manhattan is close to grand central.
just sayin
bump
Hey... have we picked a place for this yet?
I'm there - I just need to know where the #&%@! I'm going tomorrow night ;D.

So, the old guy has to make the decision :P OK, Ear, good beer, good vodka, good burgers, good mussels.
Those who choose to ride will have parking. Time? How many? Eating? Obviously, time depends on Nate.

Or we could go to Hogs and Heffers ;D

Just chill - gimme a few minutes.
I'm not very happy at all with them, just sayin'... I seem to have make the beast with two backsed up with the Speedlite [bang] [bang] [bang]
While I have been considering myself a pretty good photographer, even people with talent blow it completely every once in a while.
First, the good shots, and a brief recap.
Well, I showed up at the Ear around 9:50 or so, Nate and T showed up shortly thereafter. Representing the Usual Suspects were me, PatrickS2R and RCPete. Pat even brought his girlfriend along. Regular NYMMC members included all-star Howie, the safety maven CDawg and he of the convertible pants - STPRocks. We adjourned to the back of the joint for burgers and mussels, and after some really good conversation, I busted out the camera.
BTW - Pakhan - you got called out by Nate. He asked "where's Jake"? When told you weren't showing he yelled "The make the beast with two backser!" Consider it love, J! 8)
In short, a wonderful evening. Nate, it was great to finally meet a Flounder, and I hope you and T had a great evening and a great trip to the city!
Here's Pete rocking the long-sleeve US Shirt

Ah, humor...
(http://www.mendhams.com/cars/20081014_5665.jpg)
Now for the disaster.
This is supposed to be the crowning picture of the evening. Here's a solid tip for anyone using a new digital SLR - just because the preview looks sharp as a tack, it's no guarantee it's in focus.
What's in focus here? Hmmm, the wall behind them? The pictures?
Yep - ANYTHING BUT THE VERY SPECIAL GUESTS IS IN FOCUS [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]
Sorry Nate, Sorry T, Sorry Howie... :'(
