Any one in NY on here?

It seems there a a handfull of NY Ridge's registered here. But yet I see more and more on the road. The few of us that are on here need to spread the word and get more NY'ers registered and on here.

I live in New York. Upstate around the Duanesburg area....I see alot of Ridgelines around this area. Who Else?

I see Ridgeline's all over Long Island. There are a few at work too. I put business cards on them all the time directing them to the site. I know a few have signed up from me doing that too. :)

Interesting, you said you put business cards directing them here. I know they were once on this site. Or maybe it was a flyer, would you happen to have the link. I was trying to find it last night to spread the word.

I too live in NY. Rochester. Honestly I dont see that many around here yet. Only one other at work.

I'm from Long Island, (Massapequa area).

Would like to get a meet together, with the member of Ridgeline Owner Clubs. We can make a N.Y. group. Going to need a list of who would like to join. Need a meeting place, to say Hello and maybe a road rally, or just hello and lunch.

Please post what you would like do.

I also have a G35 coup (infiniti) and we have meets, so I know what to do.
Check out the g35driver.com site and look go into forum and then groups and go to G-Squad. to get some idears.

I live in the Bronx. A meet would be pretty cool ...............

A NY meet would be cool with me. I am just surprised that so few are registered in NY. I went to the Yankee game on Monday and must have seen almost a dozen on the road.

Just picked up my Black RT last week. I'm 50 miles north of Albany in the Southen Adirondacks. I'm seeing more and more RL's on the road every day. Good to meet all the fellow New Yorkers!

Hey im From NY Queens a meet would be nice

I am in Central New York, Syracuse actually. When I bought mine in March 06 I hadn't seen any around here, but recently I have notice a few. It' funny because I first look at the color then the driver who always seemd to be looking at me, then the mods.

I live in Buffalo, I've only seen three others on the road so far.

Hey murphysridge,
Where did you get your RL? Did you shop much to get the best deal? D'Ella or Saratoga Honda? I'm in your area and I've been lurking on this board for a while - thinking very, very seiously about getting one.

I'm in Syracuse haven't seen too many around. I've only see 2 or 3 others on the road. Got mine in March 06 - no mods yet - thinking of the newly released steps I saw on the HandA site but they are not shipping the gray ones. Checked with a local dealer but the parts guy had no clue of what I was talking about, pulled out an old catalog to look through so I knew at that point I would have to wait for HandA to start shipping the gray ones. Also thinking about the westin bull bar..... I'd be up for a NY meet .... Adirondacks would be a good choice???

Staten Island, NY here. Meet sounds good.

Live in Middletown area....purchased my ridge in Nov. 05.....Love IT!!!!!

I'm here in Wilson, NY. The western shore of Lake Ontario. We have a couple of others Ridge's here. A green one with a ROC sticker and a white one. They are still pretty rare here.

Tubbs, We got ours at Holtz. A friend of a friend was the saleman. I got the price over the phone. I also know a guy at Ralph. He didn,t have one and didn't offer as good a price. Red RTL/moonroof

Got mine from Dick He@d... I mean Dike Ide Honda. Bad expirence but in the end got a great price for an 07. I also got a crappy price from Ralph Honda.

I live near Buffalo. There are 3 people at my company who have Ridgelines. I just bought a cherry red 2007. I love it so far. Looking forward to years of reliability.

I traded in a 1999 Chevy Blazer. I spent so much money fixing that piece of crap I will never buy a GM car again. My entire family has moved away from buying GM cars. They will unfortunately go out of business unless they fix their bad business practices.

Greetings Fellow New York Ridgeline Owners/Lovers,

Thought I'd chime in on this one with a quick note to say...YES, there are a couple Ridgelines around this area
(Greene/Ulster County ) that I've seen in my travels. Check it....Is this the coolest truck on the planet or what?? I have the "S" in formal black (07') decked out with the glossy black Advantage Torzatop covering the bed. Black On Black...........SMOKIN'!!!!!

Peace,

Allan, I assume you're directing the question toward me. About the only thing we can plan on for Sunday would be breakfast. Hotel check out times are 10 or 11 depending on where you're staying. Whatever plans are made for Sunday can be arranged at dinner Saturday night.

Welcome to the ROC NYC Ridge!:) You need to update your profile with the color and info on your truck. This way I can keep an eye out for you when I am in the area. I am usually in Mamaroneck a couple of times a month.

Any of you metro NY ROCers who'd like to come along for a really nice ROC outing are invited to attend the NE Summer Meet on Saturday, May 19th, in beautiful Newport, Rhode Island! It's a nice drive up the coast and a chance to meet some other ROCers (and see their trucks). If anyone's interested the link is below and we could meet up somewhere mutually convenient (I'm thinking southern CT) and "caravan" up to Newport.

Whats up ? I'm from Staten Island. I'm new to the forum, I don't see too many RL's in SI.

Warwick, NY here! Got mine in May and have really enjoyed the ROC. Hoping to make it to one of the more local meet and greets.

Looking to meet anyone in the Orange Co. NY area. I know you're out there...I've been seeing more and more in the area lately.

Welcome Roni and congrats on your new RL. I don't know how much of a response you will find in your area. I see at least a dozen or so in my area. Only one had a ROC sticker on it. Sadly by the time I noticed the sticker on the truck and turned back around to go to the gas station it was gone! I need to get around to putting the ROC sticker on my truck then maybe I will be able to meet ROC'ers in my area. Just a thought, good luck on meeting others in your area.

I'm from the Buffalo area, havn't noticed to many RLs in this area since I bought mine at the end of February, although the number seems to be growing.

Hey New York'ers, please don't overlook the Long Island Winery Tour Meet (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14989) being held on October 13.

You write about a meeting. Here is the one not to be miss. We are meeting on Long Island, N.Y. and all are welcome and the information is posted on the Northeast forum. Stop writing about a meeting and come to one. :D

Welcome to the ROC, RTL, and TrueBlue !!! RTL, you might have seen the caravan of Ridgelines from our Long Island Ridgeline Meet in October. We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Medford. There were plenty of Ridgelines in the area during the 12th, 13th, and 14th. A great place ! Enjoy your new Ridgelines, and your time here at the ROC !!! :) :cool:

I had a Ridgeline sighting in Manhattan on the 8ih of November(Thursday). We were in the City to celebrate my birthday, and went to see Deborah Harry at the Fillmore. While looking for parking, I let a white Ridgeline out in front of me at Stuyvesant Park and E15st. (had business logo on front door). Are you here at the ROC ? Didn't notice a ROC decal...... and too busy an area to make an acquaintance. :eek: Debbie was AWESOME !!!

28 months of ownership on Long Island and have gone from seeing one a week (usually the same one) to one every couple of minutes. Any green one is always considered a rare sighting.:D

I'm a fan of Wagner and Lakewood wineries on Seneca:)

a cool meet would be at Corning Glass Museum. I dare not say a winery tour around a lake as too many wines are given out to be driving :D

Fulkerson anybody? My soon to be ball-n-chain likes a blush wine of theirs. I think Bully Hill is pretty good.

yup they make red zeppelin, and it's ok to drink blush wine...just don't tell anyone about it and don't order it in public.

I'd be for a trip to Corning, Also a finger lakes winery tour in the fall would be great, even though I don't drink anymore.

Snowing here in Buffalo, 3+ inches on the ground, roads are very slippery and I'm stuck at work, would rather be testing out the RL in the snow, guess I'll have to wait until later.

As far as the wineries go, When I consumed alcohol, Tugboat red was one of my favorites.
And by the way Bill W is not a very good friend!(won't let me drink)

So far we got a half inch of sleet and slush on the south shore of Long Island.
I wish I was in Florida hauling my kayaks to Charlotte Harbor in my new RTL.

Just got out of work and the ridge handled the snow admirably. Nothing has been plowed here, so it is messy. What do you guys think of the stock michelins in snow??

Good morning Northeasterners :)

was down in Boca all last week (no, not golfing . . . was there for a training seminar!) and when I got back to the airport in NY late Friday evening my poor RL was covered with about 1/4" to 1/2" of solid ice! Started it up, cranked up the defroster and the windshield and side windows were clear (took about 15-20 minutes) by the time I got through removing the ice from the hood, roof (side steps came in real handy for this) and tonneau cover. Fortunately, we don't get many of these ice storms here and our usual snowfall is much easier to remove.

nope, was flying Southwest so went through Macarthur/Islip waaaay out on Long Island but short-term parking at all of the NY area airports is pretty ridiculous (particularly when compared to the $15/day at JFK or $11/day at Islip for long-term parking). btw, wait until you take your first trip into Manhattan if you want to see ridiculous parking fees - when we went in for dinner and a show earlier this month it cost us $45 to park from around 6:30pm until 10:30pm!

Don't recall the parking regs in that area but, generally speaking, there ain't no free lunch when parking in midtown (at least during the week, haven't parked on the street in Manhattan on the weekend in years) - so you might have just been lucky. :cool: In many areas where there are no meters at each parking space they have those machines that cover an entire block (or, on crossstreets, sometimes half a block).

Think that they purposely make those machines confusing so that folks will pay when they don't need to!

I was recently told NY is or was trying to impose an $8 fee for driving into Manhatten. I hope that's not true.

Hasn't gone through (yet!). It's not an easy situation to solve. . . traffic is a nightmare and I'm not certain that adding an $8 "congestion fee" as has been proposed would do much to solve the problem. :confused:

Folks who can't afford an extra $8/day are probably already using public transportation and those who can aren't likely to start riding the subways, trains & buses.

Actually, you took one of the few routes where there IS a toll for leaving the city ($2.25 at the Henry Hudson Bridge) . . . for most of the other toll bridges & tunnels (GW & Tappan Zee Bridges, Lincoln & Midtown Tunnels, etc.) there's a toll when coming into the city and none for leaving. How's that as an incentive for tourism?

Into Manhattan toll-free from Westchester: Sprain Pkwy S to Rt 100/Central Pk Ave to I87/NYS Thruway/Deegan Expwy S to (west side) Cross Bronx Expwy W to H Hudson Pkwy S or (east side) Willis Bridge to FDR Dr S.

Hello Noreaster's!!! I am about to purchase a new 08 Ridgeline tomorrow. Stemming from the silver nitrated region of upstate New York I will hopefully be joining your ranks and getting to know you all soon. Thanks for creating this community and I will be sure to post pics soon! :-)

Nice, you might get a ticket...you should have a permanant ticket for having your driveway too close the the fire hydrant.

black RTX's are just sexy.... the dark grey wheels make the vehicle

Sweet! 'course this is probably the last time until Spring that you'll see it this clean but you've got a nice, sloping driveway on which to wash and polish it once the white stuff (and the resultant gray/black stuff) is gone. Enjoy!

Looks very sharp

Hey Chevy sweet ride:) Just watch out for the D. A.s on 390, 490 & 590:eek:

Man...I have to get my ROC decal soon:)

I just got home from work and in the mail was my ROC decal. I got the small Chrome one for the back window.

The funny thing is that the sticker came from Springfield, IL....that the city I bought my truck at.

Happy New Year guys :D I've been trying to decide which size ROC decal I want. I've made cut-outs of both sizes and I think the small one is a bit too small. Also have been wondering if it can be applied in cold weather. Drive safe all!

Happy New Year to all the NY ROC'ers:) I'm hung over......

Don't forget to save room for any future meet decals.

Over 70,000 fans watching Pittsburgh vs. Buffalo in an outside game at Bills stadium. Snowing like mad-dog ! It's great ! They said these were the first aerial shots of a hockey game in history !I'm watching. The puck just doesn't move. I wish teams would go with their old-school uniforms more... I like them much more

Reminds me of playing hockey on ponds when I was a kid (in the late 50's and thru most of the 60's). Everyone would bring 2 items, your stick and a snow shovel. You'd clean the ice off. Then if it would be snowing hard you'd have to stop and shovel again to keep the puck moving.

Good morning NY'ers....man it's balls cold out in the capital district:eek:

I'll be in Albany in 2 weeks for a business trip. I'm putting my order in now for a little warm weather. I won't have my RL unless I get lucky at the car rental.

For real...I shivered all the way to work...ok now it's time to get a remote starter.

Costs a little more for a RL due to the electronics... I always had Audio Obsessions (http://www.audioobsessions.com (http://www.audioobsessions.com/) ) install our car starters.... They do an excellent job.. No sloppy shortcuts. They have experience with RL's.... They are located on Railroad Ave in Albany....

What am I looking at with cost?

Is this off of Central??

Right off Fuller road, so not far from Central (route 5). I think I bought a car stereo a few years ago from there...not too sure now.

What am I looking at with cost?

When I first got my RL a couple of years ago, it was $400, that was because the RL was new and the bypass module alone was $125 (No key left in the dash like the cheap systems). It also included the longer range system with full lock/unlock integration. (Of course I didn't get it...)

Give them a call... 456-1759... If the price is better we could do a group install and get it for less....

I don't like to idle a vehicle alot, wastes gas and bad for the motor :( Over by Railroad Ave. ( I think on Fuller) there used to be an old diner where the truckers would eat (I'm a trucker). The place looked dumpy but the food was good.

Truckers all know the best diners.

When I was in HS I worked in Fultonville, NY on riverside drive...there are 2 truck stops there and there was an awesome diner in there that was open 24/7. Oh the good ol days of eating at 2am.

Grew up with a dad who was a long-haul trucker (over 5 million miles in his 50+ year career) and that was certainly true of him. Rode "shotgun" with him through 38 states before I was 13 and fondly recall tons of great breakfasts, lunches and dinners at diners and truck stops all over the country. One of my favorites were "fried" sweet rolls - makes my arteries harden just thinking of all of that butter, sugar and cholesterol!

Mine always turns over easy... Even on those really cold days. Not even a grown or grunt... When you go for your first oil change (which should be complimentary from the place you bought it ;) ), bring a jug of Mobil 1 or your friends brand that he sells....

I can tell you this winter the synthetic made a big difference in startups and believe it or not, made the engine quieter.

Hmmm....that would be nice...Rensselaer didn't say anything about that to me.about a free oil change...should I ask?? On the really cold mornings last week....it sounded like maybe a belt was loose...a very brief screeching sound...less than a second....doesn't do it when there are normal temps

No one hooked me up....what is a gold service card?? Should I call? I also read the thread...and that's exactly the noise I hear...there seems to be no resolution though

Nevermind just searched...this is what hondatech said it was...I trust him

Pilots do it as well. It is actually the power steering pump. The fluid is thick and cold and drained out of the pump. It makes a noise exactly as described on first start up as the fluid starts to flow. As of now its considered normal and there is no fix for it.

They have a couple of prepaid serivice plans.... Look here... http://www.rensselaerhonda.com/view_specials.htm?category=Rewards%20Program (http://www.rensselaerhonda.com/view_specials.htm?category=Rewards%20Program)

Now you know the other reason I asked if you wanted a hook up and who to deal with... In any case you probably still received a great deal. I am surprised the lady you bought from didn't mention the service plans. The platinum plan is a really good deal if you plan on getting all your service done there and not doing any of it yourself.

I get most of my service completed there. I do the simple things like tire rotations and simple filter changes. The VTM diff fluid change is only $52 with tax... Most pay $85.... I also get the parts/accessories that I install myself from the parts dept. It is much less expensive then online prices with shipping.

They didn't really go into this...hmm...I did get a pretty good deal, so I can't complain...

Free oil and filter changes for life at Ontario Honda but you have to follow their maintenence schedule. I can get Mobil 1 but I pay for the oil. I've been thinking of switching to synthetic. If I do I'll ask what their intervals would be. Regular oil is every 3,750 miles.

They didn't really go into this...hmm...I did get a pretty good deal, so I can't complain...

They still will let you get it…. The gold is not really worth the $….. If you plan on sticking with their service department and do not like to get your hands dirty, it’s worth it to get the platinum....

In all honesty, exceptional... They painted my rear bumper cover twice due to it being misaligned. Their prices on particular services tends to be much less then what I find most ROC members have to pay.

When my taillight had major condensation build up they replaced it with no questions asked.

They did the tranmission software update when I asked (I actually required it...) No questions asked. They actually educated me on the situation and spoke about their TSB policy. They will honor any TSB.

When my seat was rocking, they didn't even hesitate and play the game with tightening the track. No questions asked they just got another one.

When the safety label started to hang off the driver side sun visor, I didn't have to say anything about it; they ordered another and then told me it needed to be fixed.

They have told me on a few occasions that a tire rotation was not necessary at the time even when I do the rotation myself.
They told me to come back for the VTM change because the B6 service rang in around 13000 miles and because of my driving conditions I didn't need to get it completed until 15K.

They don't mind that I bring in my own synthetic oil.

With any service or warranty repair, they check and fill all fluids and lube all the hinges including the tailgate. .

They have Saturday service hours.

They will drop you off at your house and pick you up when you have a service appointment (anywhere in the "capital district" area...)

They are quick, very courteous, and do not play games...

I think it helps that they are a smaller dealer that is not part of a big auto group. The owner is in the office every day and will sit down with you and chat.

Hi, checking in from Troy, NY.

I got a Nimbus Gray 2008 RTL from Rensselaer Honda in November. They didn't mention any service plans to me when I got it, but I've been entirely happy with it so far, especially it's performance in the snow.

I spotted a White RTL (with a black Westin bull bar, cool aftermarket chrome wheels & OE tonneau cover) this past Sunday in the CVS/Zeytinia parking lot here in Croton-on-Hudson and left a ROC card on the driver's door. Hope the owner looks us up and comes on board. There are now several RLs in our area, including one from the state fish & wildlife folks, but haven't seen any others with ROC stickers (except, of course, for steveberger up in Peekskill who I first encountered in Vermont the weekend I got my RL).
