for you Ed  Coffee Meet / Ride 12-17-06 @ 11:00am

Check the weather forecast and it's looking good for Sunday, so I'm going to call another meet for this weekend. I also have someone to cover my work hours so I'll be rested and ready to ride  

lets go back to  
LaGrange General Store, Cafe & Deli
W6098 Hwy 12
Whitewater WI 53190

I know we been there before but there's good roads to ride in the area. A little coffee before we ride and return for ice cream    
some of you have seen the ride I have planned here http://www.grouprider.com/jg.php?g=150 if you haven't please go check it out.

  i love this ticker thing.

   what you'r not going to chunky cheese.

[FZ1 Matt]

I have work to do again Sunday morning but I should be done quicker this time. I should be able to make it to LaGrange though. Joanna will be making a special guest appearence also. If I don't make it to LaGrange by 11, we'll see you guys when you get back for ice cream. When do you think you'll be back there?

Also what direction are you leaving from LaGrange? Are you heading up Hwy H first or going left on 12/67? Just wondering incase we miss you and want to follow your route backwards so that we can see the group comming. Then we'll turn around and follow you or pass you. Unless it's too cold for Joanna, then we'll just hang out inside the warm LaGrange Store.  

[DavidLSI]

Not in my present chunky form...
 

[damnage]

Not in my present chunky form...
 

Ahh. Gotcha.  I totally understand.  My present chunky form has killed my golf game!  

[JimWilliamson]

I should be in as well... Heading over to Freeport today to get the bike "out of storage".

[FRZY]

Matt we'll be heading up hwy H. Maybe we'll see you on the road.

[Fourstring]

I'll try to make it.  Jadziadax8 got her wisdom teeth removed about an hour ago, so we'll see how she feels Sunday.

[OMOC]

I'll do my best to be there , but need to prepare for Christmas back East.

Also need to check electric gear.  These old bones need to be kept warm!

[jadziadax8]

I'll try to make it.  Jadziadax8 got her wisdom teeth removed about an hour ago, so we'll see how she feels Sunday.

Hopefully I'm well by then.  I'm pretty sure Vicodin + Burgman = disaster.

[damnage]

Hopefully I'm well by then.  I'm pretty sure Vicodin + Burgman = disaster.

Heh, yeah. Bad idea.

I still remember getting my wisdoms out...23 years ago.  It scarred me.  

[Ninja Woman]

I would like to try and be here, but I just got a shot of cortizone (ouch) in my shifting foot, and it is sore and my hip still hurts too.......

And I want to make sure it heals right, because I want to put over 20,000 miles on my bike next year.  

So I am not sure if I can make it.

[Brightrider]

Just back from a week in Washington DC for business...may sneak out for the meet but will need to head home after.  Hope to make it.

[mxvet57]

so who's geting ready to head out the door?

i'll be on the road by 9:30

roads are looking dry so should be some good riding.

  ed

[mxvet57]

  I'm heading up 75 to 142. maybe I'll see you

  ed

[johnnyb]

I'll be headed out of here at 10:00 AM.  First stop, the BP at 84th St. and Bluemound (if anyone is interested).
Cheers

[Sparky]

I'm heading out at 10am. I'm taking the same route we took from Common Grounds. Looks like it's going to be a great day for a ride.  

[stromgal]

So very nice to see you all, LOTS of bikes showed in that mild weather! Joel, the Tiger looks like a great match; hope Cat enjoys the pillion. Lurker, the new 'my people' bike is awful purty-- it even has lavender pinstriping!
It was good to meet you, J Williamson. Didn't manage to catch the names of all the folks there, but I especially liked riding with the "matching bikes and helmets" boys.  

Joel even managed to find some KM roads that were new to me. Sorry I had to cut out early, but duty called.

[03K12RS]

Joel, nice meeting up and good company on this outing. Put on about 250mi. this weekend and didn't slide through turns like yesterday through the Kettle. Great bunch of folks to ride with! Tigers can run pretty fast

[FRZY]

What a good turn out for December in WI I didn't get a count, but there must have been at least 15 plus bikes and 2 2upers.

I would have put together a longer ride, but being December I figured a quick 50 miles would have been good, next time I'll make it at least 75  

I've said it before and I'll say it again,  y'all ROCK   this group is the greatest!! F.U.C.K.E.R.S. RULE!!!!!!!

Howdy folks - I enjoyed the day - good weather, good roads, great people.

The group ride was "just right"... Not too hot, not too cold.

Some regular "parking lot" photos as well as some "under way" photos....

Just a few for here:








Thanks to FRZY for putting this together and picking some fun roads.

[RedCBRRider]

Nice pictures Jim.  This was the best December day evah!!    It was great to get in a ride with everyone again.  Also nice to see some new faces.  Kevin and I did some more riding after we left.  I got in about 180 miles in all.  Thanks to FRZY for having another good route mapped out.  I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures to add, but it looks like that's been handled anyway.  Until next time.

[horse1200s]

Felt great to get out and find a bunch of F.U.C.K.E.R.S to ride with
I'll have to try and make some more...

Luckily, we weren't wearing the same jackets too.  

[03K12RS]

Jim and FRZY, very nice pictures (although now at work cannot see FRZY pictures, blocking at my site??).
Jim, looked at some of your other pictures\stories, very nice.

I'm not as creative, but can be impish or elflike at times

No it was no fun, I slipped and fell down my basement stairs.   Don't ask, but it hurt.

I saw a palm-GPS on one of the bikes at the meet, but I didn't find out who's.

I've got a palm and I'm thinking of getting a GPS kit for it...  sure would like to talk to someone that's already got it.

I'm running a Tom Tom Navigator 5 on my HP iPaq with GREAT success.  It uses a very small GPS receiver via Bluetooth. Happy to answer any questions you have.

That would be me.  It's an old M500 attached to a Magellan unit.  Picked up the Magellan from Palm's online store a couple of years ago when they were closing them out.  All the M500's have come from EBay.  Screen cracked on the first one but it continued to work.  Paid $40 bucks for that one 2 years ago.  After the screen broke got two more off Ebay for $5.00.  They both work fine.  With the 2 backup units I now have $103 invested in my GPS.  Run Delorme software on it.  Works fine.  Not the fastest processor out there but it gets the job done.
