Just FYI.  I heard that the QSL in Beavercreek is supposed to be pretty good turn outs, or at least it use to a few years ago.

 

I checked with Beavercreek QSL and they confirmed it is the 2nd Thursday of each month and it starts in May, which would be May 14th.

 

If anyone is interested in going/meeting up, just let me know.

This used to be huge, wife and I used to go with a small pack of riders years ago. They handed out kickstand pucks and has us parking in the grass. Probably upwards of 500-600 bikes. Stupid big turnouts, but haven't been back in almost a decade due to drunken ass hattery

Likely the one here in Columbus is even bigger, rumor has it they have one of the largest big nights on average in the Mid West.

I personally love seeing the Jackass Flats, Dayton bar, bike nights. It's hundreds of bikes. Nothing says fun like tossing a leg over the bike, riding two miles. Drinking copious amounts of alcohol. and talking about how bad ass your bike is. Only to toss a leg over again, with or without assistance, to ride

back those two miles. Then be like, "Damn, I'm a Boss" and "I bet I looked ultra hot to those 55 year old, fake tan, worn out old hags". Nothing says satisfaction like when you finally make it home and are hanging up your vest with all those SoA patches and unlacing those brand new orange and black boots, to slip on those Sperrys and bust back out the Tommy H polo. Straight up hardcore.

This is what I dream for kids. This right here.

But you look so badass when you roll out of the cul de sac in your little biker costume.

I went to one some years back at Quaker Steak in Valley View (NEO) near Cleveland and there were over 1500 bikes.  They were parking all the way up to the movie theater.  It was pretty insane, but really cool to see all the different bikes.  The funny thing was the parking lot had just been paved and bikes kick stands without the pucks started sinking into the asphalt.  There we a shit ton of new holes in the new pavement.  People were scattering trying to find anything to put under the kickstand to prevent sinking.  Quaker Steak donated 100's of cardboard coasters to stick under kick stands.  This was when I started to carry a puck in my tank bag.
