If you ride there is a place in West Milford called the Mountain Rest Inn.

 

Fun place, mostly Bikes, usually of the Harley Davidson variety, they are listed at an INN, Bar, Entertainment, Food, and Shooting. Never seen any shooting range or anyone shooting in general, but have been going there for years, if you on a HD or other custom bike and not worried about an old run down place that's motto is " Cold Food, Warm Beer, Ugly Owner" All untrue except for the ugly owner part. Some pretty good bands, and a relaxing time. May see patched people there to your weekend rider, but have never seen any problems at all, sort of like the Switzerland of the biker community.

 

Not a place for everyone, but if that's you thing, you owe the place at least a visit on a nice weekend when they have entertainment.

I do say i have seen other types of bike there, and you can really show up in anything, it's all about 2 wheels anyway. It's just that some other bike riders may not feel as comfortable in the element that is there, it's not like anyone is going to say anything, it's just a friendly place, it's just not the norm.

Harry- I pasted there yesterday. We've been there with sport bikes and it's all cool. If you're expecting Americade you will feel out of place.

If you were to the original Laconia's, it doesn't matter what you ride.

 

I kinda look like Richie from Manx on the lighter side but ride an FZ1 and it's all good. If you ride a $25k Harley and are a posser you're fresh meat.

 

Mountain Rest is motorcycle Americana.

You guy sand your sport bikes, man I will say even though they are not my style and I just chose not to ride one, I am very impressed by there performance. I grew up building old rigid chops both HD and Triumph. I am more of a sit back relax and enjoy whats around me, but the sport bikes I would get hurt on, just knowing I could twist the wick and turn telephone pols into picket fences or lend them till my knees scrape to road is just more than I need. I know my limitations and even though I push the Harley from time to time it's nothing compared to them or the wingers who have very impressive performance.

 

As far as being a poser, I am what I am, I ride what i ride, don't really give a crap what anyone rides, but I do get a kick out of the new rider these days. I was on my way to a weekend party in IL a bunch of years ago. I stopped in a Denny's in WV for lunch and here is this big motor home with tandem axle trailer. I won't fault anyone for putting their bike on a trailer but they come out, 2 guys and there other half's all decked out in leathers, chaps, looking like they just rode all night long. I did have to laugh at that if you know what I mean.

 

I did all the big runs years ago, way too many trailer queens and people who don't know how to ride and just drink get drunk, try and ride and hurt themselves or someone else so I gave up on them years ago.

 

I would say, lets go for a ride, but not to every offend anyone I don't really ride with others, I find I like to make my own pace, stop when I want and if doing X-country I usually do 16 to 20 hours the first day to make good time and most don't like doing that. Plus there are only about 5 people I will ride with, but they are the type that will do 2 per lane handlebar to handlebar types and we know each other very well and our riding abilities. however if you see me on the bike at one of the ranges, please come up introduce yourself, I am not an unfriendly guy at all.

 

I just guess I am set in my ways, how I ride and where I ride and been doing it that way long before bikes, especially HD and Customs became a fad. Like they say, 25 Miles and 25 grand don't make you a biker. :sarcastichand:

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
