Bike Night - Tyler/Longview area

[txbanditrydr]

There is an effort to set up a (monthly?) bike night somewhere in the East Texas area around Tyler and Longview.  If anyone is interested please post up.  Preferred nights, suggestions on eateries, etc. are welcome.  This would be open to riders of all brands but we have several Bandit riders in this area and this might be a good opportunity to get together.

Longview would be nice. we use to have one every month in Lindale, at the Sonic, 50 or so bikes would show up, was a lot of fun.

Looks like a trial run is in order.  A room has been reserved at the Back Porch in Kilgore for 11/3, 7pm.

Directions:

Coming from Tyler on Hwy 31 - 31 to Hwy 42, take right and follow to 259. Take right onto 259, go to 2nd stoplight and turn right (the sign on the stoplight will say Spur 101, but it's Main St.), ride till you see the Back Porch street sign on the left (about two blocks from the light), turn in there.

From Longview - Hwy 259 South to Kilgore, go to 2nd stoplight after 259/42 intersection, turn right (the sign on the stoplight will say Spur 101, but it's Main St.), ride till you see the Back Porch street sign on the left (about two blocks from the light) , turn in there.

The Back Porch phone # is 903-984-8141.

As of this posting there are about 6-8 folks committed including a couple of Bandits.  Future meeting places, times, and frequency will be tossed around.  Hope you can make it.

How did the Back porch meeting go?

[txbanditrydr]

The last meeting was on December 8th and 6 people showed up -  4 rode their bikes and 2 caged it.  I couldn't make it myself but the plan is to do it again next month - same place @ 6:30 pm.  Hopefully the weather will be above freezing for the next meeting.

I might try to make it to that one.  Not like it is extremely far from me or anything and I know the owners (I use to work for them at their gas station stores).

[Bob Holland]

I would like to be there, I will keep a watch on this board for time and place.

[txbanditrydr]

Cool... I'll post up a week or so in advance of the next one.  Looking forward to meeting you and maybe getting some drag tips.

Just a reminder of our first bike night for 2006.... it will be held on January 12th (Thursday) and it looks like the meeting place is moving to Dudley's Cajun Café  - 1601 East Marshall in Longview.  I will post a map and start time soon.  Hope y'all can make it.

Finally... this is the place.

Thanks Mike!!

What time?

[txbanditrydr]

Riders should show up around 6:30 pm... we'll swap some lies, oogle some bikes and grab a bite.  Look forward to seeing you there.

A reminder to East Texans..... our Bike Night at Dudleys in Longview is tomorrow night.  Looks to be a great turn-out with 10 - 12 committed and possibly more showing.

We need all the Bandit representation we can muster!!!  

Start time is confirmed to be 6:30 pm.  Hope to see y'all there.

Dang couldn't make it.  School started and I am already swapped.

Had a great time.  We had 13 bikes.  Good to meet you Bob!
