Bike Night Was A Mini Success
Well bike night last night didn’t turn out too bad. We only stayed a couple hours, but there was a pretty good turnout for the first night. The cruiser crowd was definitely much bigger than the sport bike crowd, but our group was thrown together in a couple hours time. We ended up with a group of about 10 sport bikes.
Since this was the first night there really wasn’t much going on. They just wanted to establish a presence as a place for bikers to go on Tuesday nights. There was an itty bitty sign up on the board saying “bike night Tues night”, but it was so small you couldn’t see it from the road. The sign for the store next door kind of overpowered it.
Next week should be much better. Matt works at a graphics shop, so he offered to make a huge sign to put out near the road. That should bring in a bigger crowd. Starting next week Performance Powersports will also be out there giving away bike related stuff.
Indoors there’s a 72″ projection screen setup for the Wii where you can play various racing games to win prizes. We all agreed it wasn’t a great turnout for the first night, but you’ve got to start somewhere. I had fun no matter how many people showed up. Just having a chance to ride was all I needed, and it felt great!
The food wasn’t too bad either, but it was a little on the expensive side for a pub. The cheapest thing on the menu was about $8 (other than appetizers) not including a drink. Service was also really slow. There were only a handful of people inside when we ordered food, yet it still took almost an hour to get it out to us. Everything on the menu though was Irish cuisine, and the food was great.
Afterwards we all made a lake loop, and to me that’s the best part. The GSXR ran great, and was fun to ride as always. I also got to spend some time checking out Chris’s new 08 GSXR600. I’m not big on white bikes, but this one is gorgeous. I drooled over it a few times in the dealership, but it looks so much better out getting some action.
All in all it was a great night, so if you’re near Seneca, SC next Tuesday night stop by Mullens to hang out and win some free stuff!
