    First Thursdays in Minneapolis



    How come less and less Katana's are getting represented at bike gatherings. Minneapolis has First Thursday's. Great place to park and walk around and look at bikes. The Can of Tuna reference gets old but who cares? I can ride my bike from Minneapolis to Chicago. Sporty and comfortable. The bike can still handle the twisties and tops a buck thirty. What are some of the other fun bike meets around the country?

    Because most people buy a sporty-ish bike to ride, not park in a parking lot and hang out?
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

      Good point. Some of us still like to do both. Anything to get out of the house and quit thinking about work.

        Still looks as busy as it has always been. Does the Hardley and Goldwing crowd still **** everyone off, stopped going when the Boss Hoss idiots moved in. The event actually started many moons ago as the Norton owners group, happier days.
        Ok, no more mister nice guy, i've met the guy in the street, and he's a wanker.

          Harley's, Boss Hoss, and Goldwings do get in the way. BSA, Norton, Ducati, Triumph, and all the best sport bikes still make it worthwhile. Ducati owners group of Minneapolis has set up a nice both a couple of time. Good chance to see a Bimota once in a while. Love the asian bike comeback. Old and new. Last time I went even a Vincent showed up.

            The old bikes are the only reason worth going for me. Think that Vincent belongs to Steve Hamel, local British bike guru, great guy.
