Good morning all you Rat Riders!

The Muscle Bike Museum in conjunction with YH (Yeshoney Productions and Planning :roll: ) bring you the Northeasts largest Bike cruise/Pub Crawl/Swap Meet and generally good time! The Cruise will be the afternoon and evening of August 22 followed by an early morning wake up call to come buy and swap your rusty crusty or just generally good bike parts the next day. Jim Barnards Muscle Bike Museum is the locale for the Swap and Hartford, CT will be the ending point of our pub crawl. This years ride will be two part and will start with an afternoon ride along the Farmington Rails for Trails - Starting point and time is TBD. For those of you coming down early you are free to stop by my house in Simsbury to chat and have a brew before and after the ride departs. Contact me for directions and details.

Contact me for any other info.

Sound Good? Hope so! It was a blast last year and this year promises to be better!

From the Muscle Bike Museum Website:

This year's Swap Meet will be 8/23/09. Stay tuned for info or call me at 860 670 4501. * Most of the spare parts and a lot of the spare bikes have been sold off. This does not mean "Museum Bikes" as there are still over 125 bikes in the Museum Proper. I have added a 60's comic book case and some period models of the type that 12 year old me would have made if I wasn't riding my 1970 Raleigh Chopper on various adventures. * The Museum loaned out a number of bike to the director of the movie "Indian Hill" that was filmed in Portland, CT.

Re: It's Baaaaack! Northeast biggest Cruise n' Swap!

I see my friend and co-worker's head has exploded. Luckily I didn't get any on me. The guy that sits closer to Ian though is covered. It's quite disgusting actually.

Ever see the movie Scanners? kinda like that, only self inflicted.

Imagine a scale... on one side is "trip to Montreal with g/f" and on the other side is "hang out with rat rod bros and get pickled"

now you tell me which way the scale is tipping.
 
Re: It's Baaaaack! Northeast biggest Cruise n' Swap!

Hang out with RatRod guys for biggest weekend of the year = Once a year
Go to Montreal with G/f = Any other weekend of the year

Hmmmmm Decisions, Decisions.

Ask for her blessing and the join us!

Re: It's Baaaaack! Northeast biggest Cruise n' Swap!

anyone want to take my girlfriend to Montreal?? I'll pay for gas and lodging. Must be returned in same condition. I'm referring to her, not my car.
 
Re: It's Baaaaack! Northeast biggest Cruise n' Swap!

Ian, what the?!?!?! I cannot believe you!

It's Ok, I have an idea. Tell your g/f you have to work at some point so you are going to reschedule the vacation. Then, at the last minute, you have it off. No problem, go for a ride!

Anyway, I plan on coming! What to bring, what to bring.....

Are we gonna have a "mini swap meet" between us Rat Rodders the day before? I think we should!

Having met your girl friend, I'll reschedule my family gathering to take her to Montreal. I cannot guarantee she gets returned in same condition though. She'll be really tired. No way she can drink as much as me.

MY PASSPORT IS EXPIRED!!! not only that, but Beth doesn't have one. No way we're getting new ones by the swap meet right? So I might as well go to the swap meet right? right?
 
Re: It's Baaaaack! Northeast biggest Cruise n' Swap!

See? (Presses big red button). "That was easy!"

See you up there man. Haven't decided if I'm going to go through all the trouble of selling up there this year.

You get a good sized space for your registration fee. Lots of cool people. We camped up there last year in a tent. Was a fun night though, you know those Frisbee players can be pretty loud! 8)

Thanks, Joe
