Do you go to bike nights in your area?

I went to another state for bike night this past wed night, lol

Wasn't that far actually.... Quaker Steak N Lube in Greenville, SC, so only about 50 something miles away. Met up with some friends and hung out there, then rode around for awhile then went and got something to eat. Supposedly though on a good night they can have as many as 1500 bikes there, so I'll probably go back here and there to check it out. Not really much in the way of bike nights here around Asheville, oddly enough

Other than that though, it's been a long time since I've been to a regular bike night. When I lived in Florida I went religiously to Hooters every wednesday and Moonlite Diner every friday. It was more to hang out with a group of friends every week though so it was always fun times. We'd always ride downtown or over to the indoor go-kart track afterwards

I used to go, had fun. Back then pretty much knew all the riders. [2001 - 2005]

Don't go now, partly I don't know anyone now and I am not a fan of riding at night.

LOL. We may not have been in another state, but this is how far it was for us to get to a decent bike now. Since then Quaker Steak has built a place a little closer, but we've never been there.
Once a small group of us went to Columbus (1-1/2 hours) for one. It was kind of cool.

Just not a bike night type person so I don't go very often.

not one around here except one at a bar down the road, but since its a bar, all it is is harley guys drinking and driving, and this angers me cause that night is 35 cent wing night and they have awesome wings

No. I don't ride my bike to go park it somewhere and socialize. When I ride it, I want to ride it, not look at it and eat bad food.

Agreed.

I'm not allowed because I don't have a ZX-14/Busa with a bass boat paint scheme and a 390 tire kit with a 40 inch stretch.

Sorry I posted before I read the entire thread...
