Barrycuda Posted April 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2015 What happened to the quarterly meet and eats? I know everyone has a busy schedule, myself especially. However, can we give thought into relaunching our meet and eats? Anyone interested, not interested, too little time, not enough people, etc? I haven't seen any postings for it and was wondering if we can make something happen perhaps some time in May? Any thoughts for or against?? Gez, brake pad, Karen, capt. D, Dion, steve k, gaucho, Don Vito and anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted April 8, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 8, 2015 Barry, You know I am thinking that the Goldwing riders are on to something with the way they do their RTEs. Someone posts, "Hey I am going to be at so and so resturant on this date this time" let me know if you are interested, usally not more than a weeks notice, sometimes only a day or two notice. Somehow it works for them they always have 10 to 20 people show up. Now bear in mind that many or most of those guys are retired and most all they do they Ride, Eat and Sleep,(repeat) in that order. Maybe they know something we do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they know something we do not. thats exactly why it works for the Wingers, because they are retired and that's ALL they seem to do. It's all good. Just wanted to gauge interest. No biggie.... dion, i know what ya mean. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrycuda Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted April 10, 2015 Maybe we can try 3rd weekend of May? I'll be in Daytona first weekend and working second. If y'all wanna come to Daytona.... Steve is just a stones throw. It's not central I know. Perhaps we can go to linger lounge in Bradenton? Nice ride, decent food. Again, anyone who missed Daytona in bike week can still come out, LOL..... Just throwing out ideas. Think about it and let's see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M61A1MECH Posted April 10, 2015 Share #10 Posted April 10, 2015 Not trying to hijack your thread, but here is a neat event that happens in Florida every year, our STAR chapter is planning to go, could be a Meet and Greet then do the show. I have been a couple of times, lots of nice bikes, restored, show and daily riders. http://ridingintohistory.org/the-event/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be too much of a hike for some of the south riders, but I won't speak for them. I would be very interested in heading up there on the Saturday. Can't make Friday...

M61A1MECH Posted April 10, 2015 Share #12 Posted April 10, 2015 Actually just a bit north of St Augustine. My STAR Group will be doing on the Saturday, not sure where we are eating yet, waiting on ride captain to send details on the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake Pad Posted April 11, 2015 Share #16 Posted April 11, 2015 some of the crew left for moonshine Il. yesterday, for the burger run. I'm not up for playing with Tornados. going to lay low, until Barrycuda figures out where we're going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted April 11, 2015 Share #17 Posted April 11, 2015 Fords Garage over Ft Myers way has good burgers. And no green skys and barns and stuff blowing around. We were going to try Sarasota once one of the Amaish places. Like I mentioned we are out until May at least as weekends are work weekends until then.

Eck Posted April 11, 2015 Share #18 Posted April 11, 2015 ...... We were going to try Sarasota once one of the Amish places. If you do get to Sarasota, go try this Amish place. I have eaten here at least 40 times. Just about every time I go down to Sarasota to see my mom, we go here. http://www.yodersrestaurant.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a place that I certainly don't mind returning to. However it's kind of small and always packed. Better to go earlier than late to get a seat. That aside, it's a wonderful spot to go, and then continue riding down tamiami trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donvito Posted April 12, 2015 Share #20 Posted April 12, 2015 I'm up for a ride. Seems like I've been working on it more than riding. Pretty busy the next month or so but will do my best to get there. Then, in May, doing a run up to North Carolina for 6 or 7 days. I'll check back.

I'm not up for playing with Tornados. going to lay low, until Barrycuda figures out where we're going Michael, May is a wacky month for some of us, myself included. That said. I am not opposed to heading Yoders for breakfast, or the linger lounge in Sarasota/ Bradenton for lunch. Steve K mentioned the event up in St.augustine on the 23rd. I am totally up for that and IMO would be my first choice. Any ideas guys? Gals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donvito Posted April 17, 2015 Share #22 Posted April 17, 2015 23rd is the start of Memorial Day weekend so traffic may be worse. Also, anyone planning on getting a hotel may find it more difficult or length of stay minimums imposed. I'm on vacation the prior week so really can't take off another Saturday. One of the others Barry mentioned would work better for me depending on the date. Sundays are always better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
