North Eastern US MZ "rally" or group ride

Postby RiverDrive » Fri Feb 04, 2005 8:57 am

Any interest in putting together an MZ "rally" or group ride this spring in the North Eastern US. I'm thinking we could map out a route according to the location of the participants. I am in Philadelphia PA.

That sounds great but, I'm talking about getting some riders together for a day of riding here in the north east. If folks are interested in doing it in March that’s cool.

The MZ dealer in Philadelphia, Spare Parts, at 4th & Vine used to organize rides every Sunday. I never participated, but heard they used to get a pretty good turnout. I ride to Philadelphia a lot. Have you found any good motorcycle parking in the Center City area?

I am in NYC and would most likely go to something depending on when and where.

All right, this is looking good.

DEmark,
I take my bike to Spare Parts for service. They don't sell bikes any more, they just do repairs. I haven't heard about any rides but I will check it out next time I stop in.
One of the great things about Philadelphia is you can usually park your bike most anywhere. If residents and business don't object you can put it on the sidewalk. I do it often. Although, I wouldn’t try it in front of Independence Hall.

I got a ticket on 2nd street a coupla months ago, it was only $35. I was talking to a guy on a Buell at Coney Island last summer, he said tickets up there can run $175!!

New York is a cool destination, I ride there often. Maybe we could ride there and meet up with Rich. I bet he could show us around.

Franz and Roland are good guys, I like to stop by there, he's always got some good music playing...

Ya 2ed st. is a busy place, Lots of Meter Nazis, but hell it cost close to $20 to put it in a lot so $35 is not that bad.

I'm up for a ride to NY
