Wednesdays are Quaker Steak Bike Nights

[race66]

Weather should be good. Saw a few VTXs last week, didn't get to meet anyone of the owners however.

must have been about 150 bikes. :D

Had some good wings and the caramel nachos are awesome.

Saw two other VTXs, both retros. Seem to be an increasing number of victorys.

I want to go try this place out sometime, but it probably won't be on Wednesday's. Too far away for a "school night". :D

[race66]

It 's a pretty unique place.

Hooters opens up in july, just a few blocks away. :D

Too far away for a "school night". :D


Yup, too far away on a school night. We cruised past the place during the dealer fun run last month. Looks cool, but its on the wrong side of the Omaha Metro area for a weeknight. Some of us have to work in the morning.

Still trying to figure out where the Lincoln VTX crowd hangs out. The Harley guys hang out in the tough bars, the Goldwing guys are at the diner…wife and I seem to end up at the Mill, Scooters or Blue Moon coffee more often than anywhere else… of course there are fairly regular visits to Bob’s tavern and the Watering Hole.

Another huge turnout!!

hundreds of bikes, I left very early and there were probably already 200+ bikes, I had the only VTX there at that time. I heard they had 400+ bikes the week before.

Bikes were still streaming in at 7pm. They had a live band on an outdoor stage, but I left before they started.

wow, and I thought they were stupid for trying to compete with Flashbacks and The Red Eye for Wednesday car/bike events. I was even thinking about riding by there Wed. night when I was out riding around. Definitly have to swing by next week if the weather holds out

[VTXVader]

Huge turnout... I got there between 7 and 7:30 and there had to be a few hundred bikes. I saw one other custom VTX. We should try and set a time for all of us to meet. I definitely think its a much bigger turnout then I have seen at Flasbacks or The Redeye. :D :D

I'm down and will GLADLY ride up from Lincoln :D

[race66]

I'm hoping the weather cooperates tonight, they are forcasting mostly cloudy skies and 65 degrees.

It shouldn't rain until after midnight.

It's close for me so I will be there.

Another huge attendance!

A biker went down at the traffic lights when leaving, didn't see him do it, but saw him get helped off the pavement. He rode off later so luckily he wasn't hurt badly.

A lady there said he tried to stop for the light and went down.

Got to make it up there, sound like it would be like the old Red Eye.

Anyone been to any of the bike nights in Lincoln this year.

Red Fox still doing it?

[Jim-Eye]

I heard about this one on the radio... http://www.cappysbar.com/bikenite.html

I haven't been to Cappy's, so I have no idea what it is like.

We did ride by the Red Fox a while back and wife saw sign for bike night, but we have not checked it out yet either.

there's a bike night on tuesday's at 1st avenue right?

[Jeremy Thielen]

I was there this week and met race66, there was one other blue VTX 1800 there. The guy that went down was pretty buzzed got on it light turned slammed on the binders with the raked out front end the wheel went over and tossed him for a good one. They got him back on the sticky side and he took off before the 5-0 showed up. Kinda gave us all a show and something to talk about...

[race66]

If the weather will hold ....

I finally saw a TV commercial for this over the weekend. Looks like a pretty good time!
