OK. So there are a few of us in the vicinity. I'm sure we all have a friend or two that we ride with in addition . . .
Reason for all being that I'm friends with the owners of Motorcycle Federation (
www.motorcyclefederation.com) a great gear shop/cafe on 6th Avenue and Houston Street. They told me whenever I'm ready, they'd graciously host a Friday/Saturday night meet at their cafe.
They've got a really wide stretch of side walk for parking and pretty much secure the street in front of the shop so it's more than accommodating. I'd really like to bring the cafe scene to NYC and think this would be a great starting place.
Wildcat - Thanks for the referral, I'll definitely reach out to the vintage moto fellas.
