We started at 2300EDT from the Harley dealership on Northern Blvd in Astoria, Queens. Took the Queensboro Bridge and went down 2nd Ave to 42nd St. Took that over to 12th Ave and the West Side Highway.
Once we got down to the memorial, everyone found parking in about 2-3 square blocks. Someone in the building my group and I parked in front of (along with dozens of other bikes) apparently didn't like the fact that we existed. He started throwing buckets of water down on us and our bikes. He then moved to tomatoes, and then throw a box worth of thumb tacks down. Some people...
It was a wild ride overall. Lots of squids/asshats doing burnouts and whatnot, but overall it was actually pretty well mannered. Bikes rode ahead to stop traffic, and the police were very uninvolved. Someone handed out masking tape so we could tape over our license plates (to avoid red light camera tickets).
I recorded the whole thing (as did my girlfriend), so once I'm done going through the 2+ hours of footage, I'll edit together a highlights reel.
