Rode by the old Marcus site yesterday. Its just a pile of dirt and the water tower. Whole Foods going to be built there. There is no way you can force that kind of crowd of bikers to meet again, it just has to happen. All it takes is 2 bikes to be parked somewhere and have 2 other bikers notice them and pull over....and it begins.

Oddly enough, I rode by there yesterday as well (went to look at Moto Guzzis, just for kicks). I was shocked to see that it was gone. It was featured in a Kawasaki print ad years ago. I used to go there sat nights with my car and back again sunday morning with the bike.

I used to go there all the time back in the 70's and 80's. Started getting out of control by the mid 90's.
Vanilla Bean Restaraunt in NE CT (Pomfret) always has a bunch of bikes on Sunday morning, and great breakfast too.

Try the Toy Maker's Cafe mornings, Thursday thru Sunday in Falls Village, Ct. It is off of Route 7 in the center of the village. Always a crowd of bikes. Be careful of the parking lot, not paved and is uneven. The owner works on bikes the other days. Good food and a great ride to get there from any where, east, west, north or south. I think he only does breakfast and maybe lunch, not sure.

Yep he does lunch, next time I go there I am going to try the bacon, tomato and peanut butter on rye.

FWIW, some (a lot of the H-D guys) meet at RWS BBQ in Brookfield just north of Max BMW on Federal Rd.

Another group (sport bikes,etc) meets at Starbucks right of I-84 at exit 2. It's the plaza where Staples and Trader Joe's is located.
Grab a coffee at Starbucks and a breakfast burrito at the Desert Moon next door.

Try Kent town center on a Sunday morning/afternoon. Lots of bikes, and you can park, sit outside in front of Kent Coffee & Chocolate Co., and enjoy a coffee and the sights. Nice little shops, lots of bikes!!
Toymakers is starting to be dominated by Harley's it seems.
