JR Bike Night – Metal Chrome & Testosterone
The good people here at JR are always doing the coolest things, like in-store appearances from cigar masters and Playboy bunnies, the upcoming Meadowlands Madness horse racing barbeque (coming in ten days, June 24) and the incredibly popular JR Classic Cars and Bike nights. Well it was the hogs that were out in full-force this past Friday, as bikers and their roaring machines showed up in droves at the JR Cigars store in Whippany, NJ.
The camaraderie was unparalleled and I don’t think you’ll ever meet a nicer crowd of people anywhere. They come from all over the northeast, filling the parking lot with their two-wheeled pride and joys (and some three wheelers, too.) Motorcycles of every make, model and size line the pavement as a live rock 
band plays and the hotdogs and burgers char on the open grill. And of course, the luscious scent of burning premium tobacco wafts gently through the early evening air. Guys. It just doesn’t get any more festive than this.
It was a gorgeous late spring, blue-sky evening as a venerable smorgasbord of metal and chrome continued to file in. Some of the most insane custom build’s garnered the ooo’s and ah’s from the onlookers as the appreciation for ingenuity, art, and craftsmanship was mutual amongst the crowd. And I personally was just blown away by the work and detail that goes into some of these spectacular rides.
The diversity and mix of people is a thing of beauty, as dudes from every walk of life show off their wares to the attendees. Sure, there are your longhaired leather clad bas-asses who live this everyday, but there are also a good number of corporate types and weekend warriors who let their wild-sides come out to play 
at a gathering such as this. And of course, the biker chicks are there as well, donning the leather mini’s and tight tops with some occasional low-hanging fruit to give the boys something other to look at. I’m telling you, these people are great and if the event went until eight o’clock the next morning, almost every one of them would still be there, drinking coffee, and telling tales of their treks across the U.S. countryside.
I personally don’t ride, but my mid-life crisis side has really yearned to for the past ten years or so. There’s something very primal about a motorcycle that causes a man to grunt like and ape, longing for a ride with his buddies. The open air and open road, nothing but you and the girthy machine beneath you – I totally get it. In a sense it’s that feeling when you’re cigar smoking outside, just 
you and your happy stick and nothing else in the world matters at that time and place. Plus I’m big on camaraderie and motorcycle riding has got to be the ultimate in testosterone production. So when you come to JR Bike night and match the biking experience with premium hand-rolled cigars, there is literally nothing that can surpass the feeling of smoking your favorite stoag along with a V-Twin rumbling between your thighs.

Nice bikes!
However, as far as your concerned, you had issues with a riding lawnmover, so you might want to think twice about a bike.

Okay, bikes mean bikers. Bikers mean biker chicks. Plenty of pics of bikes, but where are the babes????
“there is literally nothing that can surpass the feeling of smoking your favorite stoag along with a V-Twin rumbling between your thighs.” Zman I love motor cycles too, but there are other twins that I would prefer to be between my thighs (and it doesn’t matter if they’re blond, brunette or redhead).

JRs does a great job on these events. i’ve attended many and Lou is right…where are the pictures of babes? JRs is a cigar smokers oasis! By the way…there’s hope for us all. I attended the New Jersey American Legion convention in Wildwood this weekend. I smoked my ass off on the boardwalk. Much to my surprise several people approached me to say how good the cigars smelled and no one complained!

Zman writes a blog about bikers and biker chicks and the only boob picture that he gives us is the one in the last photo. LMAO!!!!!
June 14th, 2010 at 3:49 am
And did the owner of that bike appreciate you farting on his seat so much, Z?
June 14th, 2010 at 7:07 am
i hope you asked permision to sit on the dude’s bike. that is an asswhupping offence in biker circles. i know, i woulda clocked you if i came around the corner and saw yur fat ass on MY bike.
most of the people who showed up were weekend warriors and them big fancy customs are bar hoppers with few real miles on em. but that don’t mean they aint nice eye candy. HOWEVER, the broads who ride for the most part are hot, so where are the pictures of the broads?
right now, the thing i am missing most is putting my leathers on and putting it into the wind. but she is ready for when i can again…
on the mad man suck-o-meter i have to downgrade you for no women pictures so i’ll give you a 7 today with 1 being major suckage and 10 being little suckage.

Garfiend, about that last photo, you mean that pic of the hog? Oh, and a bike, too?
June 14th, 2010 at 8:30 am
At least the boob in the last picture wasn’t wearing a leather mini, with some low hanging fruit.

We could always get Z some training wheels.

I hope the abuse is all in the name of love.
Fiend, the bike I’m on is my good friend’s and it is a limited edition fireman’s bike that Harley made. It’s a big-ass hog and absolutely beautiful.
June 14th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Any bike looks better with some sweet young lady wearing Daisy Dukes and a tight top. It’s just the perfect accessory.
June 15th, 2010 at 3:55 am
Zman, did Jesse James show up and start crying about being an abused child? And then try to pork everything in a skirt?
June 15th, 2010 at 5:20 am
Z, sure it’s all love, but you got to admit, you set yourself up for some extra “love.” “Big-ass hog?” Looks like it fits you perfectly!
June 15th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Unfortunately, while most riders are hard working, law abiding citizens (you almost HAVE to be, to afford a new Harley these days),occasionally a few bad apples can spoil the barrel.

Wow, rl7. I wasn’t sure those kinds of gangs even existed anymore.
June 16th, 2010 at 8:56 am
I think I just found the PERFECT job.

What they didn’t say was that a prerequisite is being a flaming poofter.
June 17th, 2010 at 5:54 am
They also didn’t say one of the prerequisites was being able to avoid gagging while selling the ugliest footwear currently in existence.
June 17th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Maybe Zman should apply for that job. I heard that he never gags.
June 17th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
He won’t even gag on a foot long. LMAO!!!!
June 18th, 2010 at 5:05 am
Wait, he’ll be selling shoes, so forget about gagging on a foot long. The question is, will he gag on a long foot?
