I'm trying to get an NJ riding group together with likeminded people. Let's all decide on a location and a meet up spot, a route and let's do this before the weather gets crap!
Count me "in"

Let's get 8 to 10 folks together before deciding on the details. I'm in lyndhurst btw
so far we have 3 people.
(watching to see if f!akey Staten Islanders can sneak in)
Looks like a North EAST jersey meet up...so Staten Island should work........
I'm way out in WEST NJ...so probably won't work for me....plus I work on weekends anyway.

If its a day where I can make it, count me in! I'm in central NJ! :D
As soon as I get this oil leak fixed I'm in :tongue2:
Central Jersey
I'm in Newark, count me in!
Another SI GSer with limited long distance experience is interested...
So a shaky 7?
Noob-friendly distance or were you thinking strictly for the iron-butts?
(Again, assuming orange/blue plates are allowed)
With all of these responses of people further away I'm thinking of doing two rides, one for north jersey folk to poop around for a few hours every week, and one monthly where we spend the whole day doing a ride to get the folks from further out.
We can get the first weekly ride going as soon as we get our schedules, I'm always free on sundays all day and weekdays after 5pm.
I'll be available for a while during the weekends anytime and yes sounds like a great idea :)
Too bad I dont still have my GS, I never got to ride with anyone else on it. Have a safe ride all!
Definitely all bikes welcome my man.
Alright the bikes all fixed up I'm ready anyone else?
Yeah, is anyone ready aside from us 2?
We can try for this sunday as soon as we get all the replies. we'll meet in the middle of everyones location. it's supposed to be amazing weather.
FWIW...Probably too far out of the way for you East NJ and NY guys, and maybe too early....BUT...If anyone is interested, I'd enjoy the company!
Maybe make part of your route somehow coincide with part of this route?
On both this Saturday, and this Sunday I will be making my "standard" ride of 160 miles.
THE ROUTE IS AS FOLLOWS:
Washington~Hackettstown~Newton~Sussex~Colesville~Otisville~Wurtsboro.
This runs through Warren county NJ, Sussex County NJ, Orange County NY and Sullivan County NY.
Some of the most beautiful roads and scenery anywhere!...all county roads, no major highways...
I leave Washington @ 07:30 AM and arrive at Wurtsboro approx 09:45
I make the return trip, leaving Wurtsboro about 4:30 ~ 5:00 PM

Okay, so where is everyone, like i said i'm in lyndhurst. we'll meet up at a central location and we'll drive up through the wooded areas around NW NJ during the day think wanaque/ringwood lots of nice moderate twisties + quiet flat highways where we can speed a bit then head for dinner - we could do it at the hotel i work at (marriott in teaneck nj, get a great discount on some nice food) then head home.
if anyone has an alternate route lay it on the line, i'm down for whatever. i just want to ride and pretend that i'm in a motorcycle gang and swarm other cars, curse, f%$k around and make some new friends.
I'm in newark but I wont be able to make it. Bike started bucking under acceleration and popping like crazy under decelleration today so I need to figure that out tomorrow. Hopefully next week?
Well, I had a great time on my 170 mile NJ ride today! Beautiful weather nice and cool and fresh...great roads...cage drivers behaved fairly well. Very, very bad day at work...didn't get out until after dark...so made the second half of ride in the dark (I try to avoid if possible) but beautiful cool clear night.. But alas, all this fun as a loner!

man, that sounds awesome aside from the late night. i understand how work can sometimes really get a man down. i've had to pull 6 day 10+ hour days for the past few months. I'm getting to the point where i feel like i can't sleep enough, my eating habits are going down the drain, energy is non existent.
where do you live exactly? i would like to either meet up with you or include you in some of our gang activities, lol. or at least have a beer with ya.
ok so im guessing that today is a no go?
besides today I think its Important to have a set date in order for us to all put it into our schedual
Maybe like next week on Sunday?
Set a date and I will try and come!
Dont mean to bust your balls AnonRider but I really want to get a group ride in at least once before the end of the season so I started this...
hope you don't mind
