Philly Riders

new to the site, and the XJ560 (less than a week). Anyone in the area interested in going for a ride someday, and/or passing on their wealth of knowledge to help me get my bike pristine? Usually end up riding solo, but would love to start riding with some people who share an interest in these bikes, or just like to get out. Let me know!

 

Hey pabstblueribbon,

Welcome onboard. This weekend is the recurring Ephrata bike rally at the VA lodge in Ephrata PA. Based on mapquest that's about an hour trip from where you are. Check out the info http://ephratamotorcycle.com/

I've been many times. Alot of bikes - old/new/custom/etc... Get there early, have some breakfast check out all of the bikes, vendors.

You'll enjoy it. I plan on heading up on my 82 XJ650 from Wilmington De with a couple of other riders. Maybe see yah there....

 

thanks for the info, obviously since I just read it...I missed it.
Sounds like a good time, hope you enjoyed!

 

I know i am super late to this, but just wanted to chime in about being a philly rider.

 

Im bout 2/12 hours away from philly in York PA. Would like to meet up and ride sometime let me know

 

sounds good 81Seca, always looking for someone new to ride with.

There has to be something going on around SE PA that could allow a few of us to get together for a ride!

Anyone interested in doing something some time, or know of anything already planned please let me know. I like riding solo and all but it would be cool to get together with some other Yamaha riders!

awesome link, thanks a lot!

 

No problem. some smaller events arn't on there. But it is the best listing I know of so far. Its hard for me to get away (3 year old, puppy and a pregnant working wife) But if any one is going to be in the Reading area send me a PM.

 

yeah I noticed that some of these were big events. Still a great resource.

In the mean time though I was just hoping for a less organized smaller group outing..

If anyone's interested let me know. I'm going to go out regardless so I won't take it personally if nobody responds, haha. I know it can be hard to schedule time to ride, especially with all the responsibilities you have!

 

If you guys feel like coming over the bridge into cherry hill, nj. Top Dog on Route 70 has a bike night the 2nd monday of the month starting in may. Hope to see you there.

 

that sounds like a fun time, checked out the website looks like a neat place. Not sure I can handle the commute from King of Prussia on I-76 in rush hour traffic...my left hand might be strained before I even hit the bridge, lol.

 

I'm near Lancaster and usually ready to ride. I found some cool, back country roads with views in Lanco County so if anyone wants to ride here, let me know. Anybody want to do the next Ephrata event on 7/4?

 

what about a carb clinic for our area? anyone have a lot of experience?

 

I'd be up to learning if people are getting together, but my 550 is out of commission from needing brakes and the fork seals redone. But I'd enjoy getting together and meeting and learning what we all have in our collected knowledge.

 

this is a great place for us to meet.

adam is extremely knowledgeable about our bikes and is a really nice guy/mechanic. His shop is filled to the brim with vintage cafe racers and he is open every first friday of every month for the Frankford Ave First Friday event. That would be a good time.

 

I've helped a couple guys out. I'm down near Baltimore.

There's always the Allentown one in August too.

 

Anybody riding ??
I dig on the bar hopping thing mostly...
I try no to venture too far from the city due to law enforcement(a little more lax in the city).
(still working on some turn signals)

Plus, they usually don't bother firemen too much.

Anytime somebody wants to ride a bit or just meet up for some bike talk just send me a msg...
