Our first Bike Night meet was a great success! We had 11 people in total meet up at the Mellow Mushroom pizza/bar on Polaris. 6 COBRA members, 3 significant others, and 2 guys that came across the club from Buell.com and showed up.

Mark
Dennis
Neil and ~~Catherine~~ Kathrina (aka ~~Cat~~ Kat)
Shawn and Sharon
Shawn L.
Bruce and Lisa
~~2 new guys~~
Greg
Harry

Apologies to the 2 new guys that showed up. I missed the opportunity to introduce myself and get your names. Please be sure to sign up on the Join the Club to officially become members of COBRA. Then check out the Information for New COBRA Members page and the forum to get you started.

After getting acquainted and chowing some food, we saddled up and rode as a group over to the ‘Lube. 7 Buells (and one BMW) rolling down the road and into the ‘Lube as a group is a pretty cool sight! Shawn L. doesn’t pick up his 1125R for another couple of weeks, so he was on his BMW.

Shawn L. had several helpful folks offer to pick up his 1125R and ride it over to his house for him! LOL

Once at the ‘Lube we hung out for a bit, wandered around to check out all the bikes, and enjoyed the atmosphere for a while. People started heading out around 8pm.

A couple of quick pics from the evening…we’ll try to take more pics at future events. Mike, we need the photography experience of our CobraBuell Action Photographer!

Next time we hope to see more of COBRA out there, although we all understand work and school obligations, as well as the distance for some. But having taken just a couple hours to hang out with other Buell enthusiasts, enjoy some good conversation, and take part in a short group ride to Bike Night is a nice way to break up the week.

In the future what we’ve decided to do as a club is meet the first Wednesday of every month for Bike Night, with the second Wednesday as a rain-day backup. The event calendar will be updated to reflect this. In the days preceding each monthly Bike Night we’ll determine where we’re going to meet via the forum.

Thanks Neil for pointing that out! I corrected her name.

And Gary, thanks for putting names to your faces for me, so now I know who the “2 new guys” were! Sorry I missed meeting you, but I’ll catch you the next time out.
