Indianapolis Riders?

Post by Naptown_Rider »

Are there any Indianapolis riders out there? If so hit me up on an email at matthew.kelly(At)sscinc.com

As long as its dry and not Too cold I'm riding regularly. I inhabit the near eastside village of irvington, 10 minutes from everything.

Matt, My office is next to the city market, but fortunately I rarely have to go there :lol: However, I live about 1/2 mile from Brown county so if you want to ride in the hills pm me here. I have to work this Saturday and Sunday is not looking great but the weather may hold for a while. Keith

I have family on the north side of Indy, and I plan on being out next spring/summer. I'll ping you guys for a meet-up. Would love to explore Brown County on the Roadster.

met up with some of the Indy BMW riders today, here's their site: http://indybmwclub.webs.com/

seems like a good bunch of guys and girls. it was a nice laid back breakfast.

I did feel a bit young as everyone was mostly retired, what's up with that, can young guys not like BMW's?

what's wrong with that!

I've never made that meet up, and always thought @ 50 I'd be the youngster based on what I've seen on their website and other indicators. Did ya'll go for a ride after breaky? Turned out to be a decent day but I had to work. Probably ride this afternoon if I get all my priojects knocked out first.

while this warm weather persists i've been squeezing in as much riding as possible. Considering i put only 2k on a car a year the bike is way over that. Not bad i think!

Hope you guys are out on yours as well. God i love this bike. I want ten of them.

I have met only a few of the Indy BMW club members, but when I manage to ride over to Indianapolis from Cincinnati for the Saturday morning breakfasts at Shapiro's, I am always welcomed and treated like one of the family. It is a great club. I manage to get there a couple of times a year, and then of course, head over to the Indy BMW dealer, who is usually at the breakfast. They welcome me in even though I'm riding a V-Strom 650.
