Alright, new thread so we can start fresh.
There are two options on the table. if your down for either or, just let me know by posting.
Weather:
Saturday 8/2 is scattered T storms in NYC. But depending on where we are going, it may be sunny who knows.
Sunday 8/3 is full sun all across the north east, so it is a good beach day or riding day. either way its nice and hot.
Beach day
If you guys are down for the beach, I am welcome to any recommendations as to where we could go, I havent been to a beach other than Manhattan or Jones beach. The nicer it is the better. Im sure we are all down for any beach as long as its a fun ride for all of us. (yea im bring it florida style 11 turns in 318 miles of beach! lol)
Riding Day
I only know of bear mountain and its associated routes. That is the closest to twisty roads, and honestly I'd really like it if someone could lead us to somewhere new that isnt really isnt too far from home. I havent done catskills yet, but thats a fair amount of time getting there and this would be a relatively new group of riders as i have met only 2-3 NYMMC'ers.
Either or, if i have to ride alone, im doing it cause my bike is gong to be in the shop for the next 3 weeks. So if your down for the beach, lets rock out and hit some sand and football and hot women! Ill bring the bacon and football!
edit: forgot to add thi important part
Meet Up
I am in Brooklyn N.Y. so the guys inside the city can meet up and we will catch up with everyone else after we figure out who is going.
Name .....beach/ride .....date available.
He Man- Beach/ride 2/3
1.He Man- Beach/ride 2/3
2.andro- ride 2/3
Hey guys Glantern and I and possibly RJ were going to go upstate and do the catskill thing but we both had some stuff come up and are now just going to ride the island. We will be going east through some of our fav roads. there are some pretty good sections so if you want to come you are welcome. Andro just watch out for that sharp right hander and the picket fence! If you still want to take a stop at the beach we can show you the best beach on LI. If you are interested I`ll send you the map.

Tiana my friend, TIANA!!! [thumbsup]
i am defintely intrested. Whats with that sharp right? Did someone go down there? [bang] cause i went down on a sharp downshill close to catskill. was not fun. but yea man send me the map!
Andro hat a small mishap with a sharp right and white picket fence, he pulled it together and made it thru though ;) And this was on LI ;D
I am also pre-riding my diner run on Saturday if anyone is interested. I'm a early rider though and looking at a 7:30am departure from the East Village.
I may be in for 8/03.
Mookie sent me the map of his ride, the kick of point is about an hour from where i live (sunset park brooklyn, near exit 1 on the belt) up to 1:30 if we are taking it easy. I will be going with these guys since it looks like new roads that arent far away from home. androgynous, kroe, and Countgreffi are you guys still with?
Got to the emai too. Thanks! Is this for Sat or Sun?
It is for Sunday? Start time and final route to come.

Sorry. I'm out. My leathers are completely soaked thru for today's storm. Have a blast and post some pics!
I apologize guys for being last minute but I have to cancel. I had to go upstate to one of my customers houses to reboot stupid cable boxes( yes they have 16), because the dumb electricians froze them up when they couldn`t get the generator started during testing. The must of killed power to the house at least a dozen times. I hate cable. It ruined my whole day. So everything I had planned today needs to get done tomorrow. Otherwise I would be out of next weekends ride. There is also a good chance of some heavy thunderstorms tonight ( this was the deciding factor). So to ride all the way to work in them at 11:00, when I am usually tired is not such a good idea. Sorry guys. [bang] :( :(
Sucks! I guess that route is out of the question. I think im just gonna go solo unless someone local wants to hit somewhere nearby.

Whos open on mondays? Mines going in on Tuesday to Gold Coast.
Im taking it to formula 1 since i bought it there, figure they can take care of warranty work with the least hassle.
They are open mondays? Didnt know any shop was open mondays. GL man. My bike came from F1. or atleast thats what i assume since my keychain is F1 motorsports lol.
Haha yeah they said they are i called them on friday and asked. We will see, are you sure u arent thinking about sunday? Cuase i know most shops are closed on sundays
I dunno, all shops in florida are closed sun mon, and so is Ducati Soho and every shop in NYC. I looked at goldcoast and they are open monday as well.
Monday is a traditional day off in the motorcycle buisiness, open Saturday, closed Monday. Formula One is an exception.
ooo man was to-day beautiful or what !!!
it sucked that we all couldn't meet up but i went out today and hit up splash splosh or what ever its called
and met some really interesting bisexual girls that love the sound of my bike (can you blame them) and where going to get together tonight ( dam i love my ducati )
I hope everybody is having as good a time out there as i am
