Well between the fork leak, lousy weather, and Richie's school activities, I haven't been able to make it to bike night..........that is until tonight! I'm gonna leave here about 3:45pm and head up to the mountain. It's sunny and downright HOT out today, which should make for a good crowd. Richie is out with his mother so it's time to roll "solo"! I'll take some pics and video for you guys to post when I get back.:yes:

Don't forget to take pictures of some of the software ;) as well as the hardware.
 
Just Got Back

I just arrived a few minutes ago from the mountain. Man was it HOT! It had to still be 90 degrees. Thank God for some cool mountain air.

I got up there by 5pm, a little early since it doesn't start until 6pm. I wasn't early enough though since the booths were open, collecting 4 bucks a vehicle. There was only about 7 bikes there when I arrived but the cars had a steady stream into the park. At the rate they were coming, I'm sure they will hit over 500 cars this evening with no problem. This is one of the biggest local car shows in NY, reaching those numbers every Wednesday night through September. Ducati and Triumph was there with some bikes but aside from a handful of sportbikes, it was mainly cruisers. My poor FZ1 was lost in a sea of Harleys by 6pm. I had a great time regardless. Here are some pics of the show and one video that I took.

The Ducati Vendor. I really dig that Troy Bayliss Replica!

This was the guy next to me. I had to take a shot of the paint job. It was a nice one!

Lastly, here is some video of the cars as they enter the park.

Thanks for looking!
 
One of these Wednesday's I am going to have to sneak out of work a little early and join you up there. Maybe when the YZF1000 is finished so I can bring it (probably sometime next month at this rate).

That sounds good. Just let me know which Wednesday and we'll set it up. The show is from 6 to 9pm, so there's plenty of time to get there. I could meet you by 17 and Seven Lakes Drive and come back together.
 
Dammit! I wanna go! :D Looks like a good time for a Wed. night. We don't have anything like that up this way... Thanks for taking the pics and video to share. :tup:

I have a similar show by me on Saturday nights, but it's mostly cars and not really a lot of bikes. On a good night I'm sure they get 400-500 cars!

I did find out about about a bike night on Thursday nights, but it's about an hour away from me w/o traffic so that one may be another one to check out one day if I can sneak out of work early.
