Well the ride is in the books. Considered it more of a "proof of concept" ride more than a large get-together. There were just 3 of us - myself, Hunter from this site (Fred), and Mark.

All in all, I think the ride was a success. We opened the first Hooters at exactly 11am & closed #9 at 2am. This ride can be done with a large group, but we will make adjustments to the plan (less time spent ordering / eating hot wings, which by the time we got to the 90th one, we were pretty sick of....)

I didn't "market" the ride as I should have but that was a blessing in disguise - a group of 12-15 bikes would have been tough to keep together in certain stretches of the route (mostly northern Jersey). But like I said, it can be done, and with some minor adjustments, a large group (~20+ bikes) would still be do-able.

Anyway, I'm gonna post a bunch of pic's here - nobody really wants to see me type and type right? Where's the girls??? Coming up...

No group photo at Union

The atmosphere was kind of lame there, maybe it was just a slow time but we just wanted to get down the road. Better things awaiting us.

At this point we've had 50 wings among 3 guys. So they're getting a little old at this point. Maybe a ride will help?

Long ride down to Princeton, restaurant #6. black stuff at the top & bottom of the frame is a partly opened lens. Oops. Only happened once.

21st birthday. I guess we've all been that age once, although it's ever more difficult for me to recall a time when I would have dressed up in a Hooters uniform and paraded it around the restaurant. Over and over.

I guess if this dude had hooters of his own, he'd never leave the house ....

RioGlide · « **Reply #80 on:** August 21, 2008, 03:52:36 PM »

Closed! 2am. This place could have easily remained busy til 5 or 6am. Unless there's a local ordinance, they oughta stay open all night on weekends. Who am I kidding, it's AC - they're in a casino. There's no ordinance. I guess everyone needs some time off.

Full day of Hooters. We were just about ready for a little time away from the wings too by now.

That's all I had!

Mark had a camera too, I'll post some of his pic's when I get a copy of them.

This was a helluva good time. We got to the hotel about 4am though. So I was wiped out the next day & missed the HD drags at Atco the next day. Damn.

Anyway, I'll be a bit more organized getting this thing together next year. See if we can get a larger group together. Anyone wants to plan a similar run, PM me and I can offer some suggestions if you want.

Reminds years ago @ the original Hooters in Clearwater some guy applied for a "waiter" or "waitress" postion and was rejected. Turned it in to a big dicrimination law suite which of course he was rejected. Freak should of applied at Peckers.

Hey G-Howie, how've you been?

Well we've got a few around here but in the middle of vacation season & other conflicts, I figured we'd have light turn out. Had a lot who were going to join us but had other stuff pop up as it usually does.

Plus I was away most of the week before so I didn't get much time in late to push the Hooters agenda. Think I'll look to do this in late June next year so there will be more late sunlight for the AC sprint at the end of the run.

when we lived in Clearwater, my wife used to work in the office building 1/8 of a mile behind Hooters #1 there on Gulf to Bay Blvd. We'd meet there for lunch about once a week. Unless things have changed there was nothing that made the first one different from any of the others. Next time I'm in town, I'll try to remember to get a passport stamp there

oh and any guy who would want to be a Hooters girl, well that's just silly. I remember the case though. Guy was just out for some settlement $$ pure & simple. What a jerk, get a life is all I'd have to say to him.
