Do people from this group still go there on a regular basis?

I still go to the Royale, but not with this bunch of weirdos.

But seriously: the list has been damned quiet lately, and the meetups all but fizzled out.  Who wants to get something going again?

Regardless of the meetup, who wants to start some list chatter?  Who's been working on what?  Any good projects?  Taken any good rides?  Seen and good shows (did anybody make it to Mods vs. Rockers?  How about a report?)?

What's going on in St. Louis vintage motorcycle land?

I play softball at Tower Grove on Wednesday nights and I ride by the
Royale on my way home. We also go in from time to time. I haven't seen
another bike there more than once or twice all summer.

Yeah, Wednesday sucks for me, too.  Band practice.  How about some Thursday in the near future?  Next week?  Anyone?

Are any of you guys going to the Davenport swap meet the end of the month?

Thursday is better for me but wednesday is still cool.  Maybe if it's not over already we could go to the jello wrestling thing at shady jacks.

Thursdays are definitely better for me.
What does everyone here ride anyway?

Well, I've got a much-modified '88 Honda Hawk GT (hence the handle 'nearly vintage') and a really ugly '97 Suzuki TL1000-S streetfighter. 

...but I've got a vintage-type mindset, if that helps.

(On the more-than-two-wheels side, I've got a '31 Model A four door sedan that I'm hotrodding.  Eventually the big block Ford that I'm rebuilding in my apartment will go into it.)

Sounds like we're building a coalition of the willing for a Thursday night.  How about a week from today - hopefully rain-free - at the Royale for old times' sake?

If you bring that, can I ride shotgun? Can we use some live ammo?

That's no shotgun, mate.  That's an MG34.  Live rounds included.

I guess I should put some pictures in George's virtual garage - you guys know about the Virtual Garages, right?  - for the folks who're perplexed.  A couple teaser shots can be found at motorradstl.com
