Great, I'll see you there.

[Geeto67]

I might bring your old GS750. bike runs so so nice (not that you want to hear that).

enough to poop in your drain (it is an inside joke).


4 days left.

BTW, I just found out my folks will be coming down and may be doing "motorcycle" portraits - pics of you and your bike. This is one of the better shows in NYC (shameless self promotion I know).

and really....can you argue with free beer?

Well, I made it 4.5 miles from my house on Sunday morning, when an Infinity sedan turned in front of me. It was raining, and there was no way to stop on time. And I was really looking forward to this. I was going to go to the fund raiser for the bartender you had in Bar Matchles, but my bike stopped charging couple days before that. Just have bad luck getting to Brooklyn.

i hope to pull off something similar down here, as well as roll up your way again, and spend some quality time... ride thru the boroughs, and whatnot. others have expressed similar interest....

cb650PK, i hope you're okay and your bike is fixable....

Both me and my bike are now semi functional, which is normal state of affairs, and the best that can be hoped for. What's the rumbler's show?

Old hotrods and a lot of older american bikes (some cafe racers but most will be british), plus music and food. happens 6 blocks away from Brand X.  The Rumblers are a local car club. Roger Miret is their president (Agnostic Front).
