Actually, this has been one of the most popular photos I have ever taken (according to my statistics at Flickr) where my photos live (under Carolinabiker btw). I took this in 2007 at Bike Night at Quaker Steak and Lube in Concord, NC. Bike Nights are a great time; usually places have specials on food and beverages, often there is a band, and usually a good crowd on hand. Some bike nights are "brand specific", others as is Quaker Steak cover a wide range of motorcycles. Not uncommon to see cruisers, sport bikes, customs (of all types), even dirt bikes, and dirt/street models. Its even not unknown to see some old models of motorcycles that you have not seen for years. Bike Nights can be a good way to find out about different models, types, and brands of motorcycles. There is a lot of different ways to check out motorcycles, asking those who ride them is one of the best I feel. At Bike Nights you can skip the sales pitch, and get down to the basics of riding and ownership with those who know them best; the riders.
Usually finding a bike night is easy. Check with local bike shops, area gathering places, heck....its not uncommon to come across them when you are out. Stop in and see what they have to offer, at the very least it should be a really good time.
