Hunter, I thought this was going to be on the weekend? I'd have to see about getting off work, but as I said in my pm, I'd definitely be down for this.
I never can remember the name of the place down by the river, but I just went down there last Thursday for the first time. It's pretty cool...lots of cruisers early, then the sport bikes start showing up around 7:30 or so. I think that's because the cruiser guys just go straight there, whereas the sport bikes actually go riding for a while before stopping by.
Actually, there's a group of sportbike riders from another forum in Lexington that usually head out for a ride beforehand and then go down that way, then back to Lex, usually every Thursday night that it's nice. I don't know if you're buddy is one of them or not, but pm me and I'll let you know what forum it is. I haven't been able to meet up with them yet, but I'm trying to work it out for one of these Thursday nights, and they all seem like really cool guys.
Anyway, yeah, I'll say I'm "tentatively" in. Like I said, though, I'll have to see about getting off work a bit early.
