Bike night - June 11th in Parkland/Spanaway

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

Well, the weather (and riding conditions) are right, so here goes. Let's try a bike night on June 11th at the Uncle Sam's pub in Parkland/Spanaway. It's right across from Rainier Honda/Yamaha and it really biker-friendly. I know it's a little south for some of you, but it's also a little north for some, so maybe it'll work?

The place is owned by a biker and his wife and they have tacos on Thursday and section off a part of the parking lot just for us.

If we get enough interest, I'll ask them to reserve some of the outside tables for us. They have about 2 acres - mostly outside and have tables, chairs, an outside bar, etc.

Let's say, oh, how about 6:00PM? I probably can't make it by then, but what the heck - no sense making it any later than that and, for sure, anyone is welcome to show up earlier or later.

say, do you know if they have the batting cages repaired yet? And is there still a putt putt golf course?

The golf course has been ripped out and replaced with grass. The batting cages aren't going to be repaired. I think the owner is going to take them out and replace them with a stage.

Hee Hee sounds like a plan! :lol:

[bigd_74]

*We* should be there. That's right! I think I have talked Nickie into getting on the bike for the first time in a couple of years. Now to schedule a baby-sitter. 8) :thumbup:

Keeven I'm in and was thinking about the same spot untill just recently when I have noticed a (LOT) of patched riders there.:( Should'nt be an issue but something to keep in mind. If it gets crowdwed there are several other spots close by.:doorag:

The building is owned by a friend/classmate of mine & the business is owned by Craig (Beerman) and Kathy. Craig is the one who started the local chapter of the Amigos. I've never had anyone from this group so much as look at me sideways and they're a friendly bunch of folks. It has to be if they're going to stay in business and open to the public.

I especially like the fact that they have a couple of acres in back, all fenced in and private and it's outdoors. I really don't want to sit inside on a nice day. Besides - Karen was comfortable there.

I know the place your talking about but so was Walmart in Tacoma.....:roll:

We will be there if we can find Parkland:lol:

[tubbythetuba]

I could bring Thor for security.......

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

I haven't seen the guy with the parrot for a long time. Would be cool if he showed up with the bird, Tubby with Thor, and my panther is sure to scare someone straight.

I'm still bringing the bat!!!


I get to go second.....:doorag: Pink's a lightweight:-P

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

Hey - I like bats. We have bats, so sitting in the back yard is good - not getting chewed on by the skeeters. I'd bring some, but they're too fast for me to catch.
See y'all there.

BTW - I think the venue has changed a little. They used to let kids in, but I don't think they do that anyore.

Wooohooo! Zach turned 21 today.

[lonewolf-vtx]

Hi all ,
I am on vacation that week i will finely be able to come to bike night.
I was kind of curious about STG MacGyver Comment regarding patched riders
I have have not had a run in with any, I guess I'm to Old and decrepit looking
for them to bother with. But remember a Right not Fought for is a right Lost.
But as we get Older we learn to pick and choose our fights so we can live other day.

[TANKGIRL4FUN]

Here is a Hell's Angel's video that I thought everybody would enjoy since there was some talk of colors / patches at Uncle Sam's. It is from a french friend so the first part is him talking in french but keep watching~ great video of early 1970's choppers and why bikers are scary!!!!!

Can sombody tell me how to get the video to show in my post? ~ Thanks

Lot's of 1% er's at Scooter Stuff http://www.scooterstuff.com on the south end of Lake Whatcom this Saturday ... ... bunch of great guys !

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

Shooter - it woule be wayyyyy cool to see you show up for such an event. As much as we haave disagrees in the past, this would be a way friendly bikd night to have you (and your cool bike) there. I know it's a reach, but it would be way cool to see you there.

Karen and I will be there. Hope to see you, too.

Pink:

Very kind of you for the personal invite !

As much as I would love to get down there the bummer is I am working second shift this month :sad:

[Lost Soul]

Hey Keevin, I think Dink and I just might find ourselves out there. Think we need a bit of time again with out the girls. They can fend for themselves for the eavning with out killin each other, I think!!

[perigard]

Put me down for a 85% chance of showing. Julie has softball practice so I'll be solo.

John

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

Lee - would be nice to have one of 'our own' show up on a HD. It might help 'legitimize' us - LOL! (Tubby - don't read this unless you bring Thor with you!).

Would be cool to have Roger, Russ & some others show up, too. We met some really cool people on BigD's poker run - including Ichibod Cane & his Headless Horsemen group. Maybe BigD can invite them?

Besides tacos, they have a pretty good menu and are genuinely "biker-friendly". I have been going to this place for some years now and it's about the only place I go besides the Rocksport in West Seattle.

I hope we have a good turn-out. Karen and I will be there. Would be way cool to see other couples there too!

As I mentioned earlier, the Putt-Putt golf course is gone and the batting cages are defunct, but the area out back is a great place to be when the weather is cooperative.

Perigard - would be great to see you and your wife here. Maybe next time you can call a bike night in your neck of the woods?

[bigd_74]

Hey Keevin - I'm still planning on being there but we couldn't find a sitter for the kids so Nickie will be staying home with them. The Headless Horsemen group pretty much just do charity rides but with enough notice, I could put the word out. :mrgreen:

No big deal - just wanted to start a precedent so others would call a bike night in their neighborhood. The weather has been so nice, it'll be great to sit outside.

See ya there. I'm on my way.

[NVUFaceman]

Hey Keevin,

Would have loved to come to the gathering but some of us hard working Americans have to work the swing shift. I would have loved to represent HD but maybe next time. Have a cool one on me....and for me while I'm here slaving at work...Lol.

:bowdown:

[budley3]

Damn my sprinkler system sprung a leak just before we were going to leave and had to deal with that instead:yikes:

[Todd WA]

Went to City Hall in Cumberland and ran into Jim "Dockboss" there...:dontknow:

[PiNkPaNtHeR]

Well, it was a good showing tonight. I didn't do a head count, but Karen and I, Lee & Deena, Redhook & a friend, Perigard, Matt, Tubby, Heather & Robert, Sam and a few others I can remember were all there.

Plus - there were a couple of guys from the Iron Indians (I hope I got that right) there. Matt's friend (Mark?) Karen and I had bumped into long ato at South Bound Honda. The other was Wizard - who apparently watches the board but never posts anything. Dude - post a pic of your bike - it's awesome! More than a few mods there. Some guys were showing off their bright headlights and even bright turn signals that would make Nate envious - LOL.

There was some live music and a good crowd of mostly biker-type people. I guess all the gals had quite a conversation when the guys went out front to check out the new bikes and new mods.

I wanna do the HID conversion for my Raider (and later the Shadow) right after we do the driving lights.

[NDAna]

Good to see old and new faces alike. Good times. Boring freeway run both ways but the company made up for it. :grin:

[tubbythetuba]

Really good to see everyone.......Those HID lights are quite the real deal!! And that one rider with the laser etched dragon on his pipes....WOW!!! I'm going to have to get some chrome on that Wing pretty soon;)

[NDAna]

:grin: Thanks for the HID HL feedback. Merlin is the guy with the pipe work- VERY nice indeed. Should have taken a photo :oops:

Hey !!!! I checked out the Bikes ~~~~ YEA the bikes out out front!!!!

My favorite custom on the VTX this time was Merlin's dragon pipes~ matches my tattoo~
Really liked that Gold wing too~ Reverse what a concept!!!!! And a bird killer to boot!!
Hey can't remember his name but that black VTX 1800C with trailer~ I almost jumped on your bike and road it away!!! But those foreward controls were too far forward for me.... Need to find a pair of KISS boots~
I was blinded by Sgt. McGyver's head light OMG!!! Those turn signals and that leather BRA on your front fairing~ well ..... no words can describe it~
Keevin's bike was looking AWESOME as always~ THINK PINK
As For the girls, Karen and Deena were great company as always~

WATCHOUT guys - The girls may invade your space on the 20th and put Hello Kitty sleeping bags in your tents!!!! Just kidding!!!!! OR I am I?!!!!!
