Default Car/Motorcycle meet Friday May 18th

This is a meet in honor of a friend of mine, Eric, that crashed his bike and died last year may 18th on the lefthand curve at the northmost point of the cross island parkway right before it turns into the whitestone expressway.

It's at 20th ave., College Point Shopping Center. take the cross island all the way north past both bridges and around the left hander where Eric died (be carefull)and get off at 20th ave. make a right and it'll be in front of the mcdonalds. if you're coming from NJ/the bronx just take the whitstone bridge to the whitestone expressway and get off at 20th ave. (it's the exit right after the bridge) go west and it's right there.

This is being put together by Eric's father and the idea is to raise attention to the fact that this turn is very dangerous and needs to be marked much better with signs and lights so lets make it a good tun out. there'll be food drinks tshirts and a good time and a great cause.

see ya there,
-Sam-

thanks folks...it's looking like there's going to be a lot of bikes and cars there so it should be a good time plus they got a permit from the city so as long as no body does anything stupid we will have no trouble from the pigs.

Hey Sam can you post an exact address so people can go to mapquest or
enter it in the GPS

Also how late will this thing be going on because I'm not sure what time I'll
be home from work but there is no way I can get there by 6pm especially
with Friday night cross bronx traffic
