?? are you saying that it's a town for men who, how do I put this nicely, wear chaps all year round?

While there is some of that, it's not like when you walk in town they shove a gerbil up your...(you get the idea, yes?)
Chaps, fingerless gloves and ride blue bikes.

Chaps, fingerless gloves(actually, full hand gloves), and ride blue Sportsters, right?

Nah, not me.

Btw, I also have boycotted New Hope. They will get no business from me anymore.

I'll be spending my money in Frenchtown or Lambertville. I don't want to offend any of the folks in New Hope by being one of "those" people dropping cash in "their" town. If no one goes there anymore then they will be crying a different tune.

Definately a bust...they made it more than known that "bikers" are not welcome. For a town that supposedly welcomes diversity, they sure dont welcome all[:@]
Here is a link to our local papers article on the activities...Sorry to all who travelled out here to enjoy the scenery and good company, only to get hasseled.
BTW~I'm no lawyer, but I did spend the better part of a decade in LE, and as far as I know, there still isn't a db meter approved by Pa yet, so that may be a valid defense, depending on how they wrote the cite

I'm so glad I didn't go.I boycotted New Hopeyears ago,before I even had a Harley.I can't believe they would lure you into town,and then have the audacity to ticket and make $ off of you!Where were all the fair weather riders on Sunday? Did you guys really go to New Hope? Or was it because the temps dropped about 23 degrees from last weekend? Oh well...keep on boycottimg New Hope anyways!

I went to see the bikes, but caged it as I had my sons with me (one kid I can handle, both kids and the bike gets a little crowded LOL). There were a lot of sweet bikes...just a shame that the atmosphere was as it was.

If bikers really stayed away it would impact the town. Including the town council which makes mucho off of all the tickets they write.

I am sure all Fall & next season the bikers will still ride in New Hope.

I will not.
