Went. Maybe 15 bikes. Most riders inside. Asked a few outside and was told that the meets start on May 30.

Let us know when a meet-up is planned.  I would like to meet and mingle with some other like-minded.  Most of the rides are that show up are decked-out V-twins.  It's fairly close to where I live and I often go if the weather is good.

I'm planning on going to Haugens this Thursday. Look out for the bruiser. (It's black and blue.)

Will also try to get over.  If we all make it, there will be a 750, 500, and 350 all together.

Call me a wimp!  ???  Threatening to rain and I'm staying home tonight.  Maybe next week the weather will be better.  I know that its not much fun standing around at Haugens in the damp.  ::)

Looks like we'll miss you then, Brooze. :'(  I'll probably be heading over tonight as the weather looks to be so nice.  We'll post a picture so you'll know what you are missing. ;)

Don, with hundreds of bikes possible, it'll be like Where's Waldo, to find each other.

Edit: sorry, that's Bob.

I'll be on the lookout for a blue CB750 and you look for a Glory Blue Black Metallic CB350 Four.  There shouldn't be too many of either.

Ours were the only classic Hondas there, among hundreds of bikes.

Great to meet you Bob!

Just saw this post.  Been to Haugens many times in the last 10 yrs.  Next Thursday night for sure if it is not raining again.  I will leave in the garage my 84 550GPz and ride my 71 750/4 and my wife will ride her 81 cb650c and try to catch up to many who have posted here.  I'm N/W of Uxbridge and takes approx. 30 min. to get there from here.  They have great food in the kitchen  if anyone interested (I have no connection to them).  Hope to see you there.
