Unofficial Bike Night - Thursday, May 1st at Ricky Bobby

[dufremle]

I know it's a NASCAR themed restaurant, but I want to check it out anyway. It looks like they have a pretty decent menu selection.

They're still open? I thought they were being sued?

[dufremle]

They are, but that doesn't mean they have to shut down.

[DemonDuck]

I might stop by and chat for a bit.

[DarcShadow]

I would think a law suit on the order that that one could be would be enough to bankrupt them. Copyright and trademark violations can be very pricy.

[fireblade]

They aren't going to go bankrupt, the same people own the skin club next door...

Edit: damned auto correct.

[dufremle]

It's owned by Ricks Cabaret. Well, the company that own Rick's Cabaret.

They don't seem to be having financial problems. http://www.ricksinvestor.com/447/pressrelease.aspx

Looks like they also own XTC...

I'm going to try and make it.

Shake n bake

[Telomere]

I'm in but I'll be there about 8:30...gots cub scout training to do.

[dufremle]

I plan on getting there between 6 and 6:30

[DemonDuck]

Just got out of work and not going to be awake enough to make it.

That's fine. You stay home and watch the kids while you try to sleep and let Jackie come out and play

Since this is a "bike" (night) thread, I think I'm still on the fringe of being on-topic...is anyone doing any "bike riding" this weekend?

I'm probably posting something up, just been too damn busy to sit and think about it, most likely Saturday.

[dufremle]

Here. Out on the patio.

[dufremle]

Definitely an older crowd. Lots of Harley shirts.

[fixxervi6]

Are you wearing yours?

[dufremle]

No. I feel out of place.

[Stardog]

I liked the patio seating a lot. I am in doors all damned day at work so being outside is a great change. I had the ribs which were OK. Not great by a stretch but decent and priced accordingly. Beer selection is weak but they have Shiner Bock and Rahr Ugly Pug and that is fine by me.

[Telomere]

Sorry I didn't make it out but the damn training started 30 minutes late!!! That annoys me because I have shit to do. We will have to do this again (if you guys think it is worth a second chance or not)

[dufremle]

I didn't care for it. It is a much older crowd. Lots of Harley riders. The place is nice, with a large patio. Bike parking is on the other side of a solid wall next to the patio. The bikes are there but can't be seen because of the wall. The beer selection is very weak, unless you like Miller, Bud and Coors. They do have a large selection of food and it wasn't bad. A pit pricey, though. Unfortunately they sat us right next to the stage and they had a band. Well, not a band, but one person playing guitar and singing. It was way too loud. I definitely would not want to sit out there with a band every bike night.

[nitzer]

Sadly, but I agree with Jim...

[dufremle]

I went by this place a few days ago and it is no longer called Ricky Bobby's. Now it's called Pole Position.
