Anyone taking part in this year's Distinguished Gentleman's Ride? I registered to ride in NYC on September 27th! Here's a link to my profile and blog if interested!

Hi Mike -- I'll probably be riding with this group:

http://www.meetup.com/The-NYC-Triumph-and-Brit-Bike-Riders-Group/events/224849862/

It's a very informal Meetup group that's mostly Triumphs. I rode with them two years ago, and they glommed onto a larger group of riders from NYC. We did a circuit around the city and ended up at a beer garden in Soho. It ended up being a lot of fun and I met new people.

(You should join this Meetup group anyway; they're very friendly to us few Enfield people.)

Warning: My Enfield isn't roadworthy at the moment, so I'll probably be riding my SYM Wolf 150. Since the Wolf is basically a clone of a Honda CB125, an honest classic bike if there ever was one, I'm OK with that. :)

Mike - Is that a pic of you and Henry on your DGR page?

Not sure what's happening with your rear fender/tail light unit... but that's a great pic of you two guys working on your bike!

Haha, Yes at RSS. He was helping me with a performance kit install. We had to remove the entire subframe in order to take the seat off. That was to install the power commander. So the rear fender was just resting on the tire. Frustrating process!

Hey Rich,

Sounds cool. I will look into that group and hopefully see you out there! Too bad your bullet is out of commission.  :(

Hey Peter,
Unfortunately, you got me mixed with another Bulleteer. I'm actually in jersey city. I wish I had my own garage, lol. Hope to see you at the DGR!
