OK gang, lets get some input from everyone on good locations to have bike night for the SA M&G...about 4-5 places and we can alternate every week so all will have a fare share of distnace for riding. Dont forget what day, also will be most convinient for all, everyone seemed to like Wednesday...
I was thinking of voting on places located at the 4 quadrants: North, East, West, and South.
Please advise
Keep the chrome side up...and the rubber side down....!!!

Wednesday would probably be my first choice as well. I'm looking at a map (google maps) to try and come up with some places on different sides of SA that would work for bike night. Soon as I can work up some places I'll post it. If we can get a few others to list some places that they are familiar with on their side of town we should be able to agree on some sites.
-
Ok, my "South" input will be...well, I really don't know..preferably somewhere downtown...that's always fun.
-
Hey Joe, the boys and I are thinking of riding up to the Shade Tree Saloon..It's not a "for Sure" thing yet, but will let you know...Shoot me a PM with your phone # again...I forgot to save it
-
Alright, so I don't own an X but I am a San Antonio rider.
I'd be in for an S.A. M&G if it's cool with you all.
-
Blackmouth you are welcome as is everyone else.
-
By all means, if you love to ride... and meet new folks, and old folks as well... ;D ;D no pun intended....
you are more than welcome... 8) O0
Currently in the process of voting on some locations to hold the bike night plus M&G....inputs are welcomed...so far I keep hearing the Shade Tree in Spring branch, but want to make it fair for all, thus the need of other locations so we can alternate if applicable..
Or if you happen to hear of a place to ride to one day, you can give your input and get something going for all to come together....

Cool. Thanks.
Is there another thread with the locations being considered or you all just posting them here?
-
This is the original thread requesting location inputs, you may post them here if you have any. Once voted and agreed upon we can start another thread for the M&G dates and times.

Hey Guys. Sure is great to see the interest being shown on this thread. Guess I'll be missing anything that comes up in the next couple of weeks. Had a little boo-boo the other day and dropped something heavy on my shifting foot. Small fracture but not to bad. My first fracture. Mary and I might just drive the pick-up to any meetings you set up just to see everyone and say hi. Still looking around for some meeting places. Didn't think it would be so hard to find something.

Well, you know..you can always get a bike like my friend John's and go with a suicide shifter!! No foot needed!! O0

I have thought of plenty of ways to get around the problem. No big deal except none of them seem to float with my live in nurse. There is the real problem.
-
A good M&G spot might be Rudys BB-Q in Selma. Easy access on I35, seating indoors and out. ????
-
That is the flatest place we had M&G.. if anything we can continue to meet there meet there while looking for other places to M&G...
I know of a few places here in NB... since I dont go much to SA so I dont know many places.. :-\
Lets plan to me at Rudys on 7/2/08 next Wednesday....
lets start a new thread for this M&G..

Been trying to find a few places for our Wednesday night meets but man there aren't really many places that fill the squares. Drove out to Texas Pride today in my cage to check it out. Everyone has their own opinions so for what it's worth here is what my wife and I thought.
Location: Easy to find but some may think it's a little to far out for our meetings.
Parking: Plenty
Tables: Inside and outside (covered)
Music: Wednesdays would be Stereo
Service: Long wait in line especially since there was hardly anyone there, only young kids running the place- didn't see any adults,
Food: Worst of the worst BBQ we've ever had (the sauce made it even worse)
Price: Way over priced
OVERALL: NOT SO GOOD: We were disappointed. If you just want to get out of the house, get a cold drink, and listen to a little
music it's Okay. But, if you want to eat anything and expect good service and no long lines it leaves a lot to be desired.
I' m sure the Thursday night Bike Nite is a lot of fun and we would like to check it out. We just won't be eating anything
and paying their high prices.
I thought it might just be us so I did some research on the net and saw that our thoughts were the norm. Will keep looking at different places.

I agree with the above. I have been there twice and was not that impressed with the place. A few places I know of in the SA area. Have not tried the Clear Springs Cafe in SA on the loop,but if it is anything like the one in New Braunfels you are in for good catfish and homemade Onion rings. For Dan they also have other good food in the menu. The Patio is on the southwest side of town near the corner of Old pearsall road and 1604,been there a couple of times,a small family owned and operated place. La Hacienda is a great place to meet. The food is outstanding. Thinking maybe sometime we could ride up to Sam Marcos to the new Bikini's Bar and Grill,they have bike night every Wednesday night.

Some good suggestions Stormy. I've been looking around quite a bit. I looked around Helotes this weekend but nothing looked like it would work very well. Trying to find some place with an outside patio area. I think everyone is pretty open to try different places. Will keep looking around.

I used to live in SA...
You guys ever been to the Alamo Cafe on 281? Pretty cool place....

Hello everyone,
I went to Spechts Store Resteraunt and Saloon (http://www.spechts.com/) this past wednesday. It was a really nice atmosphere. They had live music and the burger i had was pretty good. I didnt see many cruisers there though (only 1 VTX 1800). Lots of street bikes though. Makes for a real nice ride. Would be nice to do a M&G there sometime. Let me know if anyone would like to check it out sometime.

Maybe we should go there (Spechts) for next weeks 7-23 M/G. See what everyone thinks. Sounds good to me. After that maybe try one of the other places that have been mentioned. Get a few places liked by everyone and get them listed on the calendar so everyone will know well ahead of time.
-

This place looks pretty cool to me, have heard some good things about it...
7/23 is a good date for Martha and I...

I've eaten at Big'z and the burger and fries I had was pretty good. I went on the weekend so there were alot of little kids there....don't think it would be an issue since the M/G are on Wednesdays.

i was hoping that i wasn't the only one that has seen that place
