I've been to one at Quaker Steak & Lube in Madison, WI.
Straight shot there is about 40 miles. We made it 80 miles there and then the straight 40 back because it was dark. Alot of nice bikes. We just went up there walked the bikes a bit, ate some burgers and then walked the dealer booths and left.

 

They are what you make of them, don't go often but often enough.

 

They got one at a local Hooter's. One of the waitress knocked over 1 bike and caused the domino effect. Thank God it was only crotch rockets that fell. No offense to the sport bike crowd. I hate it for them "
Well had they been Millaulkee iron , perhaps the little waitress wouldn't had knocked it over !! Damn dainty little crotch rockets!!!

 

Sometimes there good other times they suck. Good excuess to get out

 

brother, im moving to delaware... nothing like that here in ohio. dammnit!! LOL

I go the Quaker Steak & Lube here in Knoxville on Thursday. Usually 200 to 300 bikes. It's great to sit and watch the bikes come and go and have a good meal. We usually go to another bar after the Lube, http://www.coyotejoesbar.com/?bcsi_s...E5C39DA1DFEE=0It's always packed on Thursday.

The only bad thing about a Thursday bike night is the Friday after.

 

Never been. wouldn't even know where to look...

 

There is Stables on the South East side of Indy that is pretty cool, there are some North East but I haven't made any of them yet. You can walk around and drink soda pop, you do not have to drink. I like Bike Nights and see freinds that I may not have seen in decades. The night before the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400 are Bike Nights on steriods though.

Unfortunately going to the gym and my kids football causes me to miss more of them than I would like too, but I don't ever just pass on an opportunity to get out of the house.

 

Here in my area, there is a bike night every night starting on Tuesday...the cool ones are the downtown bike nights on Friday. They close off about 10 city blocks for bikes only and they do this 3 times a year.

Turn out is usually high...but the weekly ones may get hit 3-4 times all summer

 

Depends on which ones you go to. Billet Bar on Thursdays is basically all the RUB's from Scottsdale that have 200 miles on their bike in 5 years. Cool looking bikes, but boring crowd. I've gone to the Hooters out in East Mesa a few times with some friends, and had a good time (decent turnouts too).

I think the bike night scene here in Phoenix is pretty tame and quiet now (much like bike week here actually). When I first started riding I remember the Chuy's behind my house (Baseline and McClintock - Tempe area) they used to almost have to close part of the street off because of all the bikes there! Now you might see 10 bikes on a Thursday. Part of that might be due to some of the strongest DUI laws in the country, but who knows?

If you go with a bunch of riding buddies it's still alot of fun, but then we typically don't pick the sponsored bars. We'll try different places each week, and usually try to pick places where it takes us awhile between stops (start in Chandler for example, head to Jackson's near the US Airways arena, then maybe up to Dirty Dogs in Scottsdale, then Highlighters or Sonny's strip clubs for the later entertainment!)
