Does anyone from this group still meetup these days?  I noticed that there used to be meetups at Rhodeside Grill in Arlington, but it seems like there isn't much traffic in this group on the message board lately.  I'm in Chinatown BTW, so if any locals ever want to meet up, let me know.

Why don't we "throw down" and just pick a date? The nice things about Rhodeside was the outdoor seating - go there again or anyone know of a similar spot in/nearby DC? Asylum is one option of course thanks to the mcy parking, but no patio :( Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

'Cause I'm lazy - Cap city in Shirlington. Decent'ish chance of parking out front and large outdoor seating area.

Lauriel Plaza is a good place for DC.  It has outdoor seating and is huge.  I'm not sure about parking though.  Adams Morgan usually works because of their motorcycle parking.

I'll be all for a regular meet up once I get up there, in a bit over a month.

One of the condos that I am looking at is very close to Cap City, so that would be nice for me assuming I get that place.

My choices:

1.  Clarendon -- Rhodeside has parking, but there are plenty of places to park in Clarendon.  I like this mexican place with big patio at the corner of Wilson & Highland -- can't remember the name but often see harley's posted up there;

2.  Adam's Morgan.  Dedicated m/c parking and bound to pick up more monsters and Ducs there as i see/hear them rumble by all the time;

3.  Marina Cantina - SW Waterfront.  Outdoor resto and bar.  Great setting and lots of parking.

I organized some "noob" rides in Montgomery County last year. Posted them on dcsportbikes.net, it was nice and met a lot of people. I'll post here as well when I set up rides.

Let me also clarify that these rides are intended to be noob-friendly, but are open to everyone who will ride at a calm pace, legal passing and only where it's safe for all, 2-up friendly (I often bring my wife), etc etc.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I did some of the same with my GF and sister and we'd end up at eating destinations...
