Who We Are We're poly, kinky, queer, and on the weekends we're flying down the highway on two wheels.  We're tearing down the foundations of the heteronormative patriarchy brick by brick.  With a firm hand on the throttle, we're letting our engines roar and our freak flags fly free.  Well, okay, maybe we let our freak flags fly discretely.  We keep ourselves surrounded by supportive people, and we support the people around us, riders and non-riders alike.

Do something.  Learn something.  Share something. Change something…. and play games!  We remember times we've had game night with friends, and now, perhaps game night with Meetup friends works even better.  Join for an easy evening of board games.  We plan to hang at a bar, sip at a coffee house, lounge on a friend's sofa with sparkling conversation and a languid competitive effort.  Break out.  Toss some dice.  Join us for some family-fun styled adult diversion.
