Burlington Bike Night June 2nd

[Notabiker]

Attention!

Burlington Bike Night on June 2nd is always a nice event. I think another ride may be called to order. How about a meeting spot in NJ, maybe some PA Shunpikers join us all this ending at the Burlington Bike Night would make for a great ride. Anybody up for it???

My wife and I will be riding to this event, two-up. A group ride would be nice. Keep talkin' Bern, and I'll keep listening. :)

I'm not within a row of a-holes of there so I won't be going, but that's just rude. Tell them to go scratch. :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh

[bsporty]

Ok so Bike night is next weekend.I was thinking since everyone knows where to find the HH we could meet there and take some cool backroads to Burlington.I will meet people coming from PA or surrounding burlington area at Mills HD.Bern could meet up with people from her area and we can all meet at HH.Lets show em some Sportys!!!!

[decman]

I could be talked into this.

Reminds me of the movie "Office Space" :laugh

[hawk mechanic]

I think that I am in on this one. Sounds like a good day to get out and ride and have some fun.

Joe

[Notabiker]

I am in...I'll meet all at Hedger House. Just tell me what time! Any one in Monmouth that want's to meet up to ride down to HH, I'm open to all suggestions...Dec since we didn't get to do it last time, maybe this time:o
Bern

[acenorm]

I may be available, haven't figured out what I am doing that day.

Best Regards,

I LOVE that movie!!!:clap

[Notabiker]

Just a bit more info.

[bsporty]

Uh oh, looks like it might rain on Sat. it could change.
And what the hell is the bike night babes?That would be me and you, right Bern?!

[Notabiker]

I hate those bike night babes:rolleyes: Don't worry brandi, I am sure they don't ride bikes, TRUE BIKER BABES RIDE HARLEYS:D :tour

[Notabiker]

First I don't look at the weather till 24 hrs before....that said,

Bsporty - yes
Bern - yes
Addicted - yes
Hawk Mech - yes
Acenorm Maybe
Dec Maybe (yes if we can talk him into it)
EVO Maybe (yes if he calls in sick on Friday)

So there you have the responses thus far. Anyone else?

[Screw Loose Dan]

Hmmm...biker babes on Sportsters, who could resist that offer...

Seriously, let me see if I can scrounge up some of the crew from PA. But last time it took us a while to find HH...gotta keep the guy with the GPS up front (even if he is on a RK). If there's a few from PA going, maybe we'll just meet in Burlington (or at least closer up that way). Otherwise, I'll likely run out to HH solo.

Is there a time frame yet?

[Brad]

I'll give it a go. And I know how to get to Burlington. (used to live in Bristol!)

[xlch_ice]

I'm a definate maybe. Consider me like 90% there.

[dagsportster]

Bern -- thanks for the PM! I've only been casually surfing the XLF and totally missed this. Hmmm...sounds great. I'm up for a Sporty group ride for sure. :tour Burlington City is cool, too.

What do we have settled in the way of meeting times and places?

[Notabiker]

BSporty is going to let us know, since she is handling the ride portion. She'll let us know.

[hawk mechanic]

I'm still in here. Let's hope the weather is decent.

[Brad]

PA Boys ~ how about we meet at Plymouth Meeting Mall and then hit the TPK to Burlington.

[s0uthernrebel78]

i would like to go but i have a packed day starting at 3am for a fishing tourniment then off to a grad party then to a baseball game then home and up for a ride on sun morning

[Screw Loose Dan]

PA Boys ~ how about we meet at Plymouth Meeting Mall and then hit the TPK to Burlington.

That's what I was thinking...so sure! Once the Jersey crowd decides what time and where we can firm things up.

[Notabiker]

We plan to meet at Hedger House at 3:00 pm, Saturday, June 2. Be there or be square.

In case you don't remember....

The Hedger House
4265 Rte 563
Chatsworth, NJ 08019
Phone: 609-726-1900

You can google it for directions...

[Miserable Coot]

I'm a maybe at this point. Been busting my ass around he house lately and deserve a ride :) Thankfully no overtime for me this weekend! Bike night is a blast, but I can't bring lawn chairs on the bike. Looks like I'll have to convince the wife to drive the truck while I go for a putt without her.

So, Bern, you gonna be on time this ride? :roflblack

Of course, I was just pulling into Pic's last time (having missed the ride for technical reasons myself) :frownthre as the ride ended.

OK, so the "ride" is from HH to Burlington? That's cool. I'll probably be out riding earlier. The weather is threatening thunderstorms :cloudmad (like today), but I don't take to threats too kindly :boxing so I say, let's go for it! Count me in! :tour

[bsporty]

O.K. here is a few more details....
If any P.A guys wanna meet us at Mills HD to ride down to HH, let me know.
Also, we can either take Rt. 130 into burlington, or some backroads.The backroads will make for a little longer of a ride and would be nicer than takin 130, but its all up to you!

[dagsportster]

What time at Mills? I'd recommend the back roads. Burlco has some great ones and 130 isn't anything to write home about.

[bsporty]

I will be at Mills at 2:15.I agree with staying away from 130.

[Screw Loose Dan]

What time do you think you will be showing up at Burlington? I think Brad (883XL) will be going straight to the Bike night.

[addicted]

I'd like to take my wife along, but she's traveling home from Washington D.C. Saturday morning. We'll talk about it over the phone tonight, and we'll decide if I should go it alone (meet up with you), or wait for her and ride down to Burlington by early evening.
If you announce plans to meet and leave from Asbury Park, please don't wait on me. I'll either be there well before the announced departure time, or I'll be home waiting for my wife. In either event, I sincerely thank you Bern and everyone for making plans as you do. I hope to see you somewhere along the route, or at Burlington tomorrow night. Ride safe.

[bsporty]

Cant really give an exact time on when we will get to Burlington.If we leave HH by like 3:15 and take all the back roads we probably wont get into Burlington until like 4:30 ish.I think.

[bsporty]

Is anyone meeting me @ MILLS today?Dag?

[hawk mechanic]

I will see you there Brandi. I am looking forward to riding as much as possible today.


Joe

[bsporty]

I will see you there Brandi. I am looking forward to riding as much as possible today.


Joe

Joe I will see you @ Mills hd @ around 2:15 ish then?

[CaptEvo]

No "force" into work today so I believe I can be considered a definite for this ride. :wonderlan

If some of the forum guys/gals are going straight to Burlington maybe we should designate a later time and place to sort of meet and say hi. I would say over by the Biker Sluuu........errr....Biker Babes, but it will probably be packed with old guys....lol.

[dagsportster]

Is anyone meeting me @ MILLS today?Dag?

Brandi - I've got some stuff to finish around the house, so I think I'll head straight to HH and plan to arrive around 3 for the ride to Burlington. Do you have a route in mind from HH to Burlington?

Dave

[Notabiker]

I will either be at Mills or HH depending on my timing...can't say right now.



I have cels of some PA guys Drcstang and Blue Bunny if she can make it.

Looking forward to a nice ride.

See you later.

Well the route is still a little uncertain as I will have to see what everyone wants to do.For now we are heading back out to 72 then down Pasedena rd.Then we will hop onto 539 for a little to a backroad of horses and farms.:wonderlan .We can either take this road out to rt. 130(bordentown) and roar down 130, or we can take a crazy back way that will add another 30 min. or more to the already (approximate)hour long ride.:tour

If you're going around Ft. Dix to the east (near Lakehurst) to 539, you could take that to 537 (Monmouth Rd) which is nice, down to maybe 670 and take that west right into Burlington near Mills HD.

Another good time with the Jersey Crew. Hey Jersey girls, lets get that 'Women of the XLF' calender
started. I only had my cell, so I only got one pic. WWII era Bimmer with a Hack and a machine gun.
Good to see you all again!

Jersey Biker Babes!!!

(Good thing we brought our own...)

[CaptEvo]

It was good to meet you PA and Jersey guys/gals. Some I've met before but I'm actually starting to put some names and faces to these screen names.

Oh...and a great ride route Brandi...nice job.

[Brad]

...Some I've met before but I'm actually starting to put some names and faces to these screen names.

Yea, I finally realized that you don't look like James Gandolfini!

[Screw Loose Dan]

I uploaded all the pics I got off my camera, check them out here (http://picasaweb.google.com/drcstang/2007BurlingtonBikeNightXLF).

I really like the one where Brandi is letting me know I'm number 1!:D

Good times. Always good meeting everyone (again in some cases).

[addicted]

My wife was impressed by you all. We luv' you folks!

[dagsportster]

It was great ride, for sure. :tour

Special thanks to Brandi and Tony (the BF) for leading the ride - I'm gonna take that road again! It's funny when even Jersey people say "Wow -- this is Jersey?!".

I was thinking about that WWII Bimmer with side car and machine gun this morning before I logged in and I'm glad you guys got some photos -- too bad the owner wasn't there at the time (the guy was in full uniform and looked the part).

Thanks Dan, for posting the photos. They're great for a cell phone! I'm amazed you caught us riding in. And thanks, Brad, for blocking my ugly carcass in the group shot (seriously!).

Dave G (or as every seems to know me "dag") :rolleyes:

[Miserable Coot]

Fantastic ride! Enjoyed it completely, even when "practicing U-turns" :) I had no idea Jersey had such nice scenery. I live here (not by choice) and didn't know places like that existed.

Brandi and Tony, you two need to get lost more often and keep planning out great rides like that!

Thanks for the PM Bern, I would have lost this thread for sure.

Hey Decman, we were wondering what happened to ya!
Bern-You have a movie stars' smile, what a cutie pie!

[hawk mechanic]

It definitely was good time. Nice roads to ride, and good people to hang out with. I am pretty much good to ride any weekend if anybody wants to think about getting out here.

Joe

[decman]

Yea. as I mentioned to Bern, I leave for my trip out west on June 7th.
Wyoming and then California. I have a lot to do before then.
Yes I am riding the Sportster. :tour

Anyway there is a benefit in Red Bank (bern's area) on July 2
for a friend of mine. I will be still out west and I can't make it
in person. :(

It would be cool if you guys/gals could put together a ride to that
event, music and food and at the same time helping out someone in need.

later

Funny thing is... the pic that Dan took of the all black sporty with the gold wheels, that happens to be my ex bfs sisters bike.She always said my bike sucks.I wonder if she saw it there...(evil laugh goes here)

[Notabiker]

Great to ride you guys. Brandi and Toni, excellent choice of roads. Caught up with the Philly contingent. Thanks for the pics. Time for a diet:frownthre We cut out and took the long way home since we had to take the highway down. Arrived about 10 pm, got up early and took a long ride before the rain hits today. Bunny PM'd me and I was almost home. Bun you missed a good ride. Sorry, next time. Maybe in our neck of the woods in Red Bank for Dec. We'll see how that plays out.

[Screw Loose Dan]

Brandi - Thanks for the pics. My camera phone must have ate the pics I took of the Norton and Triumphs...I was kinda bummed about it till I saw your pics! Those bikes are sooo cool. When I grow up I'm getting one.

The black Sporty w/gold wheels was a sweet bike...but it doesn't compare to the one with white/pink flames and clip-ons...seriously.
