The one's I've been on usually had an entry fee, 20 bucks or so for each bike, rider, couple, what have you. Several have had bars as each stop, which I didn't mind...the stops were usually 30 minutes to an hour apart, so I was ready for a cold one. Most of the time some decent food and good tunes at the end. Just try to ignore the necessary b.s. that comes with those events, and have a good time.

 

Pokers runs are usually full of small groups of people that know each other well. If you are in the run by yourself, no one will talk to you.

 

I haven't done a poker run this season, or a memorial run for that matter. However, I have shown up at the last stop of a poker run just for the party!

 

See, I told ya

 

Most poker runs aren't pack rides unless you have a lot of riders who are unfamiliar with the route. If you're comfortable getting around the area where the run is, feel free to go on your own. It's safer that way.

 

I don't really know if you are trying to be funny or what. (honest, i don't!) but this has not been my experience at all, in fact quite the contrary. Maybe its just you, Ken! (see, I was trying to be funny)

Sorta

 

Went on a Moose Poker run . Found out that a group of people that have a Bar for a club house are professional drinkers.. I like to go on the poker runs that take you on some roads that you may have never been on before.

 

I've only been on one poker run, but had a good time. We started out just outside of Fort Lee, VA and saw some beautiful southern VA scenery. I showed up by myself but ended up attaching to a group of eight or so other riders. The whole thing was a good experience and I imagine it won't be my last poker run.

 

If it's a poker run for someones health or to raise money to send our little league team to the world series or like Lilly Grace LaBouve who is 2 years old and needs a heart transplant poker run today give them the money you win you cheap bastards.

 

It is like that and that's what I intend to do after I win.....
