If your close to westchester and know where we are talking about then your more then welcome to meet up with us so we can go up there. We are just choosing to meet up to ride up there together since we all live really close to each other.. 11:15 is what time we are meeting up. But 12 is what time everyone is suppose to be at Bear Mountain.

CEL wouldn't make a difference when taking the turns. LOL
I'd love to come hit the curvy roads but I'm having a small problem with a broken sway bar bracket. THAT might cause a problem when trying to tackle the corners!

Default Windy is the Way to Go!

I'll be Behnid Bob's Discount Furniture by the Customer Pick-up dock @ 11:15....

I was thinking we should go the windy way - hop onto the Bonx River Parkway to the Tackonick to Root 202 West to the Bare Mountain Parkway, hanging a right at Annsville Creek past Camp Smith and up that windy road to the bridge and across...

I hope its not a blustery rainy day like today....

You mean the Sprain to Taconic to Bear Mountain? I'm not a huge fan of the Bronx River Parkway

Default JagMeat a huge success!!

PnyKlr and Meatbag met in Jonkers NY and drove the 30 miles up the steep windy roads on a blustery fall day to Bear Mountain, hoping to find dozens (or at least a few) other Uagujar enthuiasts... After a nice little drive, we arrived to find that the place was overrun with Oktoberfest - the parking lot was full, and closed. We parked along Hessian Drive and hung out for about 90 minutes swapping jag stories, car stories, work stories, life stories and so on. It was nice to actually meet one of the forum regulars in the flesh.

It would have been even better if more folks made it. Not sure whether it was disorientation due to the lot being closed, or whether Noah Bahdi actually came or what, but it would be nice to try again next summer.
(Pnyklr sopotted the Mustang tribe - about 15 of 'em - leaving as we were headed up there too - maybe they were displaced by the same festival.)

Anyway, here's a few pix....

Driving up the Taconic


Up Bear Mountain Road


Over the Bridge


and here we are




Look at all those X's! (thanks to Photoshop!!)
