That sounds like FUN; however Saturday I have family plans. From Oakville to NYC is about nine hours one way. I would be caught in the rain FOR SURE. Keep posting ride ideas, and thanks.

Don't let the fear eat you. I have them for breakfast daily. Taliban or Al Qaida the cowards, I pray for their suffering daily and their death every moment of my living................I will be there in NY City.

My bro in law lived in Manalapan ( close to Manalpn library) for 15 yrs before moving to FL. I loved that place but heard its really crowded now.

Hope to meet up in NY.

Maybe some of us northerners (Canada, upstate NY, Massachusetts, Vermont) could meet up in northern NY somewhere (someplace with food & coffee? A Dunkin' Donuts??) and drive the Taconic State Parkway down--nice and twisty!

LOVE THE RESPONSE SO FAR, SO I GUESS THIS IS A GO. i SPOKE TO MY COP FRIEND AND HE SAID WE CAN PARK ON STREET BY MTV STUDIOS ON 46TH AND 7TH AVE, WE WON'T OBSTRUCT TRAFFIC THERE, CAN'T WAIT. AND THOSE OF YOU SCARED OF BOMBS, TERRORIST ETC. REMEMBER WE RIDE BIKES, OUR LIFE EXPECTANCY IS VERY SHORT TO NONBIKERS, SO LIVE AND LET LIVE. WHY WORRY ABOUT TERRORIST WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN IS BUSY GETTING A LAP DANCE:mad:, SIPPING ON HENNNESEY, WATCHING THE JET GAME, OR SURFING IN CALI..........HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Looking forward to it. I am close to the library myself. Its crowded by traditional standards but not excessively. Luckily the built mostly mcmansions which keep the count down a bit. But those rolling houses some people call SUV's have to go.

Anyone else from CT considering the journey? Maybe hookup?

I would be scared to death to ride anywhere near NYC:yikes:

Strange thing though, I still have FIAT paint imbeded in my elbows from bicycling all over Napoli without worry!

I will say that in a week of riding I am starting to really understand and enjoy the dymanics of Spyder handleing. I have great faith in the antilock brakes and not having to fear the 'Chirp' from that front bike tire in a panic stop. I still stay out of town as much as possible!

2-3pm should be a prime time for times square.

should we all meet at another location and ride in? since times square is a little of a traffic nightmare during the day......

Just thinking

18oct. sounds great!I live in SJ and the ride is straight thru for me.Would probably like to go up the night before so I can be on time,I like to party up there.:yes:

we should meet near 11th ave, and drive up due to less traffic and we can also make a grand entrance.

Ok.... so my girl took off work the 18th and we're both in :2thumbs:

I've only seen one other spyder on the road so this will be pretty cool to get together with a few owners and share stories! :chat:

How many attendees are we up to????

jeuchler
09-28-2008, 06:16 AM
I hate to put a damper on things, but a Micron or Hindle or Two Brothers can get pretty loud in concrete canyons. :dontknow: HDX had mentioned this new ordinance:




...Just looked up the new NYC noise ordinance- a $440 ticket if your exhaust can be heard 200' away!!!!

http://www.northcountytimes.com/articles/2007/08/26/business/news/15_53_108_25_07.txt

With the 2 Brothers on Smylie's Spyder, I think they'll mail her a ticket if she even thinks about going there.....

Well...... I'll be coming from Delaware..... figure that I'm either coming across the Delaware Memorial Bridge, OR the Comm. Barry.....

So pretty much anywhere off of 295 or the turnpike is fine with me.... Any suggestions on where, and a good time? and who's going to meet with us?

For those of us coming from South or Central NJ and the Philly area, how about meeting at the Grover Cleveland Service Area on the Turnpike? It is located between exits 11 & 12 Northbound?

I'm not sure about a time because I'm not sure when we are supposed to meet in NYC, whether we are ALL going to meet and drive in in a group or exactly how we are getting to Times Sq or what we are going to do once we get there.

But meeting on the Turnpike seems easy and central for those of us coming from the South or West.

I was looking to meet at the jacob javits convention center at 12p-1p Meet/greet and then head to time square in a group. There is no congestion on 11th ave, so we can meet there. Any suggesstions are welcome.:clap:

I have a micron thats louder than a firetruck, cops don't bother you in NYC unless your being an idiot, so dont worry. I think we should meet btwn 11am-12p and head to a brunch spot. I will pick a spot today and post here later this evening. Any suggestions you guys can call me anytime Mike 631-662-8822, off to work and happy riding.

THE WEATHER IS GETTING BETTER AND ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH 1 OF MY QUADS AND NEEDED SURGURY ON MY ARM, BUT IM FELLING 80% AND SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO BY MID MAY. WE MISSED THE OPPURTUNITY TO MEETUP WITH MANY RIDERS AT OUR LAST TIME SQUARE SPOT DUE TO POOR PLANNING. ALTHOUGH WE HAD APROX 9 SPYDERS WHO ATTENTED, WE WANT A BIGGER TURN OUT THIS TIME AROUND. I PROMISE THIS YEAR WILL BE BETTER. MOST LIKELY WILL BE A SATURDAY WITH A SUNDAY RAIN DATE. I AGAIN WILL ATTEMPT A POLICE ESCORT INTO TIMESQUARE IF POSSIBLE. I CAN BE REACHED AT 631-662-8822(MIKE) IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON A SPECIFIC DATE. I WAS TARGETING SOMETIME IN JUNE.:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::cl ap:
