Do you want to meet new riders as well as eat great food? Well look no further, this is the event for you!
We want to thank all of the people that keep us going. We love what we do and we love helping you do what you do.
We will have a breakfast ride as usual leaving Allsport's parking lot at 7am. We will ride over to The Blue Plate Cafe in Huntville to eat with the North Alabama Vintage Motorcycle Club. From there people are more than welcome to ride around the area, form groups to go for a ride, etc.. Just be sure to meet back at Allsport for lunch at 11am-1pm.
Allsport will be offering free lunch to all who attend. Here we hope to have as much participation from different riding clubs/ Forums around the area as possible. Let's just call this a collaboration of our Bama Rides appreciation day with a new added twist!
*FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SET UP TENTS OR DISPLAYS* (message me here or Call me at Allsport)
Also, during this time we will be showcasing our new line of motorcycles. We won't spill the beans, but they have a vintage appeal with British styling. A pretty "Royal" company when it comes to a good looking bike if you ask us.
WE CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH!! PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!
We need a good headcount for food! We would hate for anyone to leave hungry! We have looked at several of the forums and group calendars and are aware that this is a perfect day for all clubs. You do not have to come for the breakfast ride, you are more than welcome to just come for lunch, BUT PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO COME!
I'll be there for lunch.
Will try to make it ...
I'll be there. I plan on leading a ride from the Blue Plate to Allsport. Watch the planned rides section for more details. I'll post it there a week or so before the ride.
If not working, I'll be there.
We are more than excited about this event. We hope to have a great turn out! We spoke with several people at Bike Night at Sam's last night in Decatur and we loved the feedback!
We are planning on having bike parking areas on our entire parking pad, There will be a new bike line unveiled, Free Food, Door Prizes from some of our suppliers, and also Free Bike inspections.
PLEASE RSVP for this event!!! We really do not want anyone to leave hungry!
North Alabama Vintage Motorcycle Club is looking forward to this exciting event! We're heading over right after breakfast at the Blue Plate Café II on south Mem Parkway...See y'all there, unless you want to join us for breakfast (at 8 am) and join us as we travel to Allsport!
I hope to make it !

Ok, will do !
Which Blue Plate Cafe are you planning on going to?
The one post said South Mem Parkway.
Klaviator (and everyone),
We're going to be at the Blue Plate Café II at 7540 Memorial Pkwy SW Suite E, in the banquet room. http://blueplatecafe.com/
As it happens, we're hosting a rep from the Alabama Tourism Board that morning. The purpose of the Tourism rep's visit is to collect our favorite ride routes for inclusion in new products promoting motorcycle tourism in Alabama.
Klaviator, I know you have forgotten more awesome ride routes than I'll ever know, and I bet several more of you have some extraordinary "favorite" ride routes as well. Hope you'll come join us at 8 am at the Blue Plate, and share them.
And don't worry if you're joining Klaviator for his ride to Allsport--just head out when you need to! Or: You can stay and ride with us! We're heading to Allsport too!
Look forward to seeing you on the 25th!

It will be the Memorial Pkwy Location.
Not sure if you have heard the news, but we are officially a Royal Enfield Dealer. We will be unveiling the entire line at our Saturday Shift Club Appreciation Day. So, come on by and see us! Our R.E. rep will be here as well to answer questions and possibly hand out some R.E. gear. Please RSVP!! Just comment if you plan to join us!!
Count me in.
Are there usually a lot of vintage bikes at Blue Plate to check out?
I will be on call that weekend, but if there's no service calls, I will try to make it.

as long as the weather is ok. I have seen people ride rain or shine and some even trailer bikes in. It is hard to say, but a member from the department of transportation is going to be there getting maps of rides so I suppose there will be a good turnout.
Indeed, there are usually a good number of vintage bikes. They range from Triumphs and the occasional Norton to Kawasakis, Suzukis, Hondas, BMW etc, as well as a few vintage Harleys. It's been a while since we had a Moto Guzzi roll in, so if any of you has one, bring it out! Oh, and Klaviator: One of our members frequently rides his (sorta) vintage Vespa to breakfast as well!
For those interested in ride from the Blue Plate to Allsport that is more interesting than taking the interstate, here it is: http://bamarides.com/ride/index.php?topic=1648.0 (http://bamarides.com/ride/index.php?topic=1648.0)
The ever changing weather forecast looks good at this moment in time. Keep your fingers crossed for sun shine and good times. We still plan to have this event and are looking very forward to it! Keep an eye on the weather, we will have this event rain or shine! Let us know if you can make it!!
I'm going to the lunch! I won't be able to ride much, but I need to get out and ride some.
In hopes that the weather forecast changes. Please do not let the rain scare you. Feel free to drive your car, truck, van, horse and buggy, anything! PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO COME. LET US KNOW BY QUOTING THIS POST AND LETTING US KNOW IF IT WILL BE JUST YOU OR IF YOU WILL HAVE OTHERS JOINING!
WE WILL ONLY HAVE FOOD FOR THOSE THAT RSVP!!

Tim Q. checking in: My wife, Alyson, and I will be there for lunch.
Seth, there are a number of us coming from the North Alabama Vintage Motorcycle Club. I'm estimating 10~15 folks, from what I'm hearing. I think you got a fairly good forecast from RJ when y'all saw each other at Sam's Thursday eve.

I enjoyed myself today. Thanks to Allsport for organizing this event as well as the Vintage club for setting up the breakfast.
I left Allsport at 1:30 and still easily beat the rain home.
Thanks everyone for coming out today. We are glad the weather held out long enough for people to get out and ride. Happy we were able attend breakfast with the NAVMC. I will have pictures posted soon. Feel free to share your pictures with me so I can get them posted on our social outlets. See you next ride!
A great big THANK YOU to Seth and all of Team Allsport for a great time this afternoon! I'm still drooling over the tan/maroon Classic 500! ::)
The pizza and the fellowship were fantastic, too. Look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
I'm glad I made it. Had a great time. Looking forward to visiting more to a great dealership !
