Suggestions for a meet

[EvilSteve]

I'd suggest sticking to one of the already known bike nights for reasons already mentioned. We used to occasionally have people come to the Astoria beer garden. Unfortunately, if you're riding you can't/shouldn't take part in any of the beer but they have meat!

All except the ear that is, that place sucks balls. No, not in a good way.

You got something to say He Man?

I only hang out here b/c those of us from Jersey got overlooked when they created the local board list.  The only conclusion I can fathom is the Mods think everyone from Jersey lives near NYC or philly or wants to ride in upstate.

I just might take my ball and go home....nah, you guys would miss me too much.

People actually live there?

Hey, wait a minute....I got nuttin'.

He Man, I will send out a mass email asking all NJ NOT to back into your bike anymore.  The first email must have been confusing to some, resulting in your bike getting puked on by kitchen waste and backed into.  Sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!

We need a winter get together.

How about here as a NYMMC kick-off event?

My vote would be Friday night after work so it's not super crowded.

I'll be there that weekend but no way i can make a friday.  Most likely i will be down on saturday.  I make a point to go every year.

I wonder if the show will continue it's downward slide this year.

I wonder if the show will continue it's downward slide this year.

And what downward slide would that be?  It seemed the same to me the past 2 years......plenty of bikes to check out, sit on, dealers to talk to..........Lots's of vendors to selling aftermarket parts i couldn't get locally.  I enjoyed it of course i do wish Ural was back last year they missed it

I go every year as well, but I think I know what ES is talking about.  I heard some manufacturers won't show because of the cost of being at the Javits.  IIRC last year some manufactures were in other cities but not the NYC show due to cost.

That's a shame....some of the other cities get test rides i hear also

Maybe last year was better, I didn't go. The year before it was all stretched busas and road warrior leathers. Not really my bag. But you know, whatever floats your goat.

Ahh ok now i understand yeah that part of the show i hated too.  But seriously what else would be in the place of stretched Busa's?  It is the scene for a lot of people.  Unfortunately our type of rider is the minority so seeing a big display of quality leathers and maybe modded up streetfighters or cafe racers might be hard to come by.  I don't go for the mods though i like seeing the latest and greatest bikes from the companies and seeing if there is an aftermarket part or two i can pick up.

It's just fun 

[EvilSteve]

I enjoy it more if I'm actually looking to buy a bike or something in particular but otherwise I just can't justify fighting the crowds. The couple of years I worked on vendor booths were fun but otherwise I just don't get much out of it.

Hope you guys have fun.

Anyway, back OT here maybe?

I never felt the crowds were that bad o well, Off topic?  Sure   

Ok anyways i'll be at the show Saturday if anybody plans on going let us know the day and maybe we can all meet up afterwards or during it.
