Calling on Central NY Members (and of course, anyone willing to make the trip),
As just announced a few days ago, I'm the new North East Assistant Director for Central NY. I'm in the process of making contact with Central NY Members and setting up our first meet and greet.
It's my intention to have Cortland as the "home base" for the area and then establish meet and greet locations in the surrounding cities to make it easier to attend. (Cortland is mid-way between Syracuse and Binghmaton, right off of Rt 81, has several motorcycle dealerships available to include the outstanding, "K&H Kawasaki", just a few miles north of the city.)
Once the weather is better, I'd like to combine visits to local Kawasaki dealers as part of "meet and greets" to help build relationships between COG and the dealers. For example, K&H already gives a discount on services to card carrying COG members and have mentioned sponsoring a "service weekend" for inspections or other services.
Of course, there is a great number of riding opportunities in our area - more than most people might imagine. With that said, when we do have meet and greets, if you have a ride in mind, please bring a map with the route to include estimated ride time and any Kawasaki dealers along the way. Just like the meet and greets, rides will vary across our area to allow greater participation.
Lastly, a minor bit of patience is requested if I set up an event but can't attend. I'm in the US Army and quite often will be on call for one reason or another and will have to work regardless of any personal things I may have planned.
So...without further pontification on my part:
The first "Meet and Greet" for Central NY
Location: Garcia's Mexican Restauraunt, Cortland
Road: Route 281 & RT 13. (Next to McDonalds, across from Lowe's)
Time: 11:30am
Date: 05 JAN 2013
I will update with specific driving instructions but its fairly simple.
