WTF, I'm in.  It'd be pretty bad if I can't make it to a meet twenty minutes from my house on the exact same street.


but you still have to go through St. Charles.

One last thing- The Cup Of Joy's parking lot is behind the building, so you wont see any bikes parked out front (Or cars for that matter).

When I get there I'll see about putting my bike out front if there is room.

Hmm 6:45 and no posts yet. That leads me to believe its an adventure.

Now I am feeling guilty about cutting out early to get house hold stuff done.

I verified the couch was still suitable for light nappin.. M ripped out the flower beds Rolleyes

We had a nice time .. Great company..  

Thanks for letting us across the border.

I have nothing profound/witty as yet to write about. Never made the network news or been kicked out of a breakfast buffet.  I remain mired in the mainstream.

We just got home about an hour ago.  I'll post pics later...  Sleepy

Thanks to Jai for showing that bad-ass route down Big Timber.  I forgot that was there.

A few pics from today's ride.  Four of us met at sunrise in Vernon, WI at Citgo.





 Some guy on an Ultra was waiting when I arrived.








We stopped in Woodstock, IL for a very good breakfast.  I recommend the Mexican Skillet!

More bikes in a parking lot!  Winslow, IL





Water is pretty!  I love things that are pretty.




Ben and I headed toward home at 1:48 PM while the rest of the group who was in Winslow went to Culver's.  I needed a lunch stop too, so Ben and I went to Culver's in New Glarus, WI on our way back.  The heat turns me into a complete wuss.  I was exhausted even before getting home.  I had hydrated properly...in fact I was Mr. Bathroom Break most of the day due to my massive liquid consumption in anticipation of the heat.  I hope the rest of you made it to Galena.

Oh yeah, we did. Unfoirtunately I can post any pictures right now because I came home to a dead laptop. I`m bringing out my old laptop for backup but thats going to take a while.


It was a great ride, thanks to Ed (MX VET) knowing some sweet roads and stops. Ed thanks for leading.

griff and I saw a few FJRs out Galena way on Saturday the 11th...so it must not have been part of this group.  It was a great weekend to enjoy the good weather.

Now down to MO/AR this weekend for some twisties. Bigsmile

watch out for the Leo's especially AR. they have a no tolerance for speeding especially push mountain rd and the sourounding area's. i speak from experience.

after shooplick and I got around it that mini van was just a dot in the rear view mirror.  Burnout

   And of course, immediately after a daring pass of said 'tard-vantm on the double yellow so we can resume speeding, we're in town.  Frak...

Great ride, what a way to blow off some steam.  Ed led a perfect pace all the way out, with a route covering some roads I've never seen before.  Fred, Chris, Ben, Jim, Jai, and Ed are always good for a laugh, and it was good to meet quite a few ST.N'ers for the first time.

Of course, chasing everyone for the day also has me re-thinking my cornering techniques.  I gotta practice in a parking lot or something. 

It was hella nice to be able to leave home at a quarter after nine for once.

Some pics- my lil' point and shoot doesn't take great photos, but that's what Fred's here for.

Chili was strapped like Ulysses against the tempest.  Zipties FTW!


Nice turnout at Wasco



I'm pretty sure the folks filling jugs at Paradise Cove had no idea what to make of us weirdos.



Dowtown Galena sucked.  Culvers was just fine by me.



I'd still like to know how Fred got a twitching, still-living bee shoved that far into his fairing.  Didn't think we were going that fast...


The ride back was long.  It was no longer a question of "will we be stuck behind a dentist cum pirate on the way home?", but which one?  And for how long?
