Do you go to bike nights in your area?

Tell about your local bike nights and how often you go?

I may hit one a month, sometimes two, but I'd rather be out riding. Our local Yamaha shop has one each month that I usually go to since I'm cool with everyone working there. We sometimes will go to Hooter's bike night, Iron Thunder, or Quaker Steak. Again I'd rather be riding but it's cool on occasion.
Our riding group is pretty fun so regardless we have fun no matter what the venue.

I started bike nights in our local area when I lived in Florida, but we gradually just started gathering for hanging out one night a week in a small close knit group. Now, in Ga, I've been to one. It was nice to meet some fellow riders, but our riding "interests" seem to differ quite a bit. Nice guys, I may check out a Sunday ride, but I don't see me going regularly.

I went to another state for bike night this past wed night, lol

Wasn't that far actually.... Quaker Steak N Lube in Greenville, SC, so only about 50 something miles away. Met up with some friends and hung out there, then rode around for awhile then went and got something to eat. Supposedly though on a good night they can have as many as 1500 bikes there, so I'll probably go back here and there to check it out. Not really much in the way of bike nights here around Asheville, oddly enough

Other than that though, it's been a long time since I've been to a regular bike night. When I lived in Florida I went religiously to Hooters every wednesday and Moonlite Diner every friday. It was more to hang out with a group of friends every week though so it was always fun times. We'd always ride downtown or over to the indoor go-kart track afterwards

I used to go, had fun. Back then pretty much knew all the riders. [2001 - 2005]

Don't go now, partly I don't know anyone now and I am not a fan of riding at night.

LOL. We may not have been in another state, but this is how far it was for us to get to a decent bike now. Since then Quaker Steak has built a place a little closer, but we've never been there.
Once a small group of us went to Columbus (1-1/2 hours) for one. It was kind of cool.

Just not a bike night type person so I don't go very often.

not one around here except one at a bar down the road, but since its a bar, all it is is harley guys drinking and driving, and this angers me cause that night is 35 cent wing night and they have awesome wings

No. I don't ride my bike to go park it somewhere and socialize. When I ride it, I want to ride it, not look at it and eat bad food.
