I am in Central Jersey as well. Would be interested in taking the ride as well. Being it is relatively long ride for a meet, I would like to see the weather at least 60' on the ride home. Keep me posted, and I will subscribe to the thread.
Im in NY but on Long Island. We have a few differnt car/bike shows down here, but I would say probably not worth the trip for you. I wish Long Island had more to offer, sorry.
