We have an informal get together every Tuesday at the airport that is open to anyone who chooses to show up. Tonight we had 26 people there when I left at 6:30 PM. Tonight someone brought in meatloaf dinner for everyone. You never know what food, if any, will be brought in. The attendees are about 1/2 pilots and 3/4 motorcycle people. There are no rules or agenda. In warmer weather the crowd will be 60 to 70 and almost everyone there is on a motorcycle. A few will also fly in.
Twice a year we run a tiddler ride around several counties on a weekend. The thing with it is to be there on the smallest bike that you can find. Anything even Harleys is acceptable down to 50 CC mini-bikes. It usually lasts 4 to 5 hours. That evening we have a large get together somewhere and everybody brings something to eat or drink. There will usually be 80 to 120 attendees. I missed the last two fall ones because they conflicted with GMCMI rallies.
One of the things that sometimes happen is people bring things they need to repaired on Tuesday afternoon and evenings. Sometimes it lasts until midnight but most of the time it usually breaks up around 9 PM. People usually start showing up around 4:30 and they come and go all evening after that. The attendees are from many backgrounds, an auto mechanic, an FAA IA (authorized inspector), a welder, 2 doctors, one dentist, a mail lady, a state cop, several commercial pilots, a restaurant chain owner, a foreign car service owner, a steel mill millwright, and me to name a few. I do not know what I am. I could probably list another 15 or 20 professions. Probably 1/3 of us are retired and the youngest are in their 20's.
We also have a small Sunday morning ride every week. Usually around 8 bikes but you never know who or how many will show up.
John Shotwell showed up and delivered some stuff to my hangar this afternoon. I did not think about 2 wheel Tuesday until after they left or I would have invited them to attend. We definitely had enough food.
Aren't you glad that you asked?
