Wanna bench race or meet some folks to ride with? This pack of misfits has a regular bar hang every Tuesday night. The get-togethers typically draw 20-100 riders, even in crummy weather. The hangs are open to all motorcyclists on all marques and with any level of experience. It draws everything from wannabe riders to professional racers.

The Hang is located at:

Ear Inn

326 Spring Street (between Greenwich and Washington)

Soho (Manhattan)

The festivities start at 8pm and typically last until 11pm or so.

Please note:

As these hangs grow in numbers, so does our profile in the neighborhood. Please remember that people live on the block and others are trying to conduct business there. NYPD has been very cool with us but this could always change.

Parking is ample on the street but if you would rather park on the sidewalk, use the driveway area to the right of Ear Inn. Please don't park your bike on the sidewalk in front of the restaurants. The neighborhood is safe but bike thieves are everywhere. Use a disk lock if you plan to be out of visual range of your bike.
