You have my attention.

[bomber]

Wow -- I wasn't aware we even HAD coffee in Flatstanistan!

Is that a dare?

One wonders "why" one would choose to cross the border as described?    Certainly not for the riding opportunities?

The company?  That must be it!  

Definite "maybe" for me....

The weather's looking splendid for this meet --

[Dan K]

I may actually head to this coffee event....!

But I am going to the circus at 1 in Rosemont, I believe...doesn't mean I can't show up for a cup of coffee!

Wait? What? hu

[Oddball]

So if I come to this meet I was wondering if Rt 120 would be best from the west???    Thoughts, comments?

120 will work, but it's not much fun == of course, there isn't much fun to be had, pavement wise, up here ;-{

[cougar8000]

Hmmm, looks like my calendar open. See you there

[Dan K]

Yes, the entropy circus on Thursday - tomorrow!  I should probably buy a relay...  Sunday is the Ringling Bros. with my kiddos.

The absence of whining / crying from the Bulls about the unreasonable two week roadtrip they have to take because the circus is in town must be refreshing.

I don't know 'bout you folks...but I don't miss the NBA a bit.  Let both sides of this embarrassment of a work stoppage / lockout stay out until they jointly recognize that they are Billionaires and Millionaires getting paid a King's Ransom to play a game...and that there are lots more / better entertainment options available.

Bu-Bye....    

[cornercarver]

A definate maybe from me, wifey wants to get out before the snow files.

[Ears]

Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour.   Otherwise you'll wonder why no one else is there.....

Just means more coffee for me.

[Prubert]

I don't think I want to have coffee 'south of the curtain', if you know what I mean......eeewww!

I said 'south of the curtain,' not 'south of the belt'

I guess I should ask being new to this, are wifes welcome for the morning meets or is it a guy thing? My old sport bike guys were all about guys only so we could ride, well very agressive. Just curious. Thanks

You'll find a number of women, both wives and not, at the meets.

Some of them will smoke your old sportbike guys without realizing they are going fast.

Just sayin.

[Avigar]

Dang, I'm tempted to unwrap the bike from its winter storage. This isn't far from me.

If wives weren't allowed, there might be some complainin' happenin' here...
Just sayin'..    

See ya there with the wifey, Corner!!  The more, the merrirer!!

Don't worry.  A lot of the men here bitch n' moan like old women.  It's all good.

[Ears]

Phooey... Just come on out and bring the car!!  But, it is supposed to be nice... Either way - be there!

[cornercarver]

Thank you for the info. The wife wanted to make sure. The sportbike guys I rode with were all a lot young than me. Well when there heads got real big on the street I suggested a track day at blackhawk. They got there butts handed to them by a young lady and my old arse. I know the young lady who still races ccs. Lets just say there ego's got put in check. What a fun day. Thanks again

By chance was it CLSB? I can hear them running up and down 290 at night. I rode with some of them one night. They go fast in a straight line but throw in a corner and all bets are off. I'm pushing a 650lb pig and still pull away in the corners.

BTW this is Ears

[ninjaridaz]

Lol, you're thinking of CR and probably not clsb.  Clsb are mostly track junkies.

[cornercarver]

No we ran on the roads out west by Oregon IL and galena. I was shown some great twistys by a cruiser dude. We had a Sunday ride of 220 miles on sport bikes of nothing but twistys out west in IL. We only ran hard out in the country. I never understood the dummies that ran the highways. It was lots of fun and I will still do a track day when time permits. Heck my daughter is a corner worker at blackhawk during the summer, mostly for the bikes. Ya she didn't fall far from the tree. I will be there Sunday with the wife, we are looking forward to it. I am glad I found this site. Thanks folks

[xsPain]

Wow, new people AND coffee somewhere that isn't Black Canyon. I'm almost sorry to miss it.

I better go sit in the sun for a while to feel better.

Maybe your spirit will be there...

[Scout17]

Will see in the morning if I can make this.  I used up my weekend kitchen pass Saturday going to an MTF Moonshine RTE.

[cornercarver]

Greetings All,
Will pout all day as we missed the event this AM.  Kinda a rough nite... had to ER our 12 yr old pooch.  Had 2 seizures yesterday, not a pleasant sight.  Had had one 2 months ago but were hoping that was an isolated incident.  By process of elimination vet believes she (Coco) has a brain tumor.  (Shit).  On anti-seizure rx now - she left the vet higher than I've been in years.  She is (otherwise) a spry gal and we hope to have her with us for a few more years.  
Again, missed meeting everyone (well, crap).  Question: does anyone go to the bike show in February?  Be very cool to hook up there and make fun of the oil leaking hogs:)
Mrs. CornerCarver

[Grnarrowe]

Mrs CC

Sorry to hear about Coco. Hope all is well.

Not a problem missing the meet and yes we do make the annual pilgrimage to Rosemont for some tire kicking and hog roasting.

PS: Hey Lurker!!Send me the monster picture and I'll post it. If you post it the system may EXPLODE!!!

[Stargzrgrl]

Too... Much... Sugar...   


That was fun.  Next time I'll stick to a smaller cup of coffee and only ONE bakery item.  Especially if I'm going to be sharing a table with that comedy troupe intent on trying to get me to expell coffee out of my nose...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Scout17]

It was nice to get out and drink some coffee.

Vicki, thanks for calling it.
Ed, thanks for breakfast and sorry we ran you off.

[cougar8000]

Pleasure meeting new folks and seeing some old faces. Good coffee and a great group. until next time.

[bomber]

You guys managed to run ED off?

wow

[mxvet57]

 You cut out early. Was it something i said.



Some rode east, some rode south, and one went north. I rode west.    

Got home at 5:30

[Dan K]

And I went to the circus, which can be summed up by my 7 yr old son's quote of the day...

"Dad, this might really be the best show on earth!!!"

And yes, it was totally worth it.
