Title: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: CDawg on July 26, 2011, 01:32:14 PM Any interest in a museum ride this Saturday AM? Thinking about leaving Manhattan at 9am to go here: http://20thcenturycycles.com/ (http://20thcenturycycles.com/)
More info about the moto museum here: http://www.billyjoel.com/news/20th-century-cycles-opens-its-doors-oyster-bay (http://www.billyjoel.com/news/20th-century-cycles-opens-its-doors-oyster-bay) Then perhaps having BBQ lunch here: http://www.theshopbrooklyn.com/ (http://www.theshopbrooklyn.com/) Planning on being back in the city by about 1pm. Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: Howie on July 26, 2011, 05:33:26 PM I was at the museum a few weeks ago, a Ducati New Roc event. Billy Joel did a great job. I might meet you folk at The Shop.

Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: nicrosato on July 27, 2011, 05:41:15 PM I think I'll ride over from Huntington and meet some of you folks Saturday. I figure between 10:30 & 11 should be a good ETA.
Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: CDawg on July 28, 2011, 08:05:29 AM Awesome! We are now looking at 1 9:30am departure so ETA will also be 10:30-11am at the museum. This is me:

There is a BP gas station on Houston St between Broadway and Lafayette on the south side. Fill up before 9:30am. Kick-stand up at 9:30am. Otherwise, we'll aim to be at the museum around 10:30am and the BBQ spot around 12:30pm area. I won't be checking DMF much the next couple days to just show up at the spots that makes the most sense for you if you want to ride!

I am about to buy the FBF arrow full system for my S2R1k on the parts for sale column, but the LOUDNESS factor is umm intimdating. I dont want to get hassled by cops.

It was on the bike when we rode together in Lackawaxen. Arrows are quite loud. I rode for about a hour and half on just udder and it gave me a headache...guess I'm in the "you're too old" category...LOL Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: CDawg on July 29, 2011, 07:04:05 AM Take some pics.

Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: Howie on July 30, 2011, 05:40:02 PM Great having lunch and good conversation with you guys. The Shop did finally open.

Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: CDawg on July 30, 2011, 06:08:05 PM Beancounter and Chan, great riding today! We'll have to do a shotgun outing next time!
Title: Re: July 30 Museum Ride Post by: nicrosato on July 31, 2011, 06:52:02 AM Cdawg, Beancounter and Chan: Very nice to meet you. Glad to share some of the prettier roads on the Gold Coast (though it's a fact of suburban NY life that they are not the type of roads you can really cut loose on).
Here are a few phots I took with my cell at 20th Century Motorcycles: (http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab295/nicasaurus/Motorcycle/BJ-Showroom.jpg) (http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab295/nicasaurus/Motorcycle/BJ-Guzzi.jpg) (http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab295/nicasaurus/Motorcycle/BJ-BSA.jpg) (http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab295/nicasaurus/Motorcycle/BJ-Vincent.jpg) |
