best way to meet up with the Michigan folks?

[Kilmister]

what's the best way to meet up with the MI people located in and around Detroit?  

[sleazy rider]

Call lunch.  We've never (well, hardly ever) turned down food.  

You actually in the city or nearby?  I work in NW Detroit 5 days a week.

[Kilmister]

i'm in Warren, work in Southfield.  I figured I'd have met other riders riding around, and while I've seen a few on the road, I've yet to cross paths with any actual people.  

[sleazy rider]

Right now, it's a bit tougher on us.  I rode last week, but with this recent snow?    I'll be the one headed down the Lodge at 5:30AM on the black bike with yellow 'stich and helmet when the weather breaks next week.  

[Kilmister]

i won't be conscious at 5:30 am  .  I used to go in around 6:30, but I adjusted my schedule to go in later.  

[Stripes]

Like Sleazy said, call a lunch ride or show up to one. Good times, good stories & usually good people! Cheers

[wibornz]

When it is nicer, thinking about calling lunch here.

They are known for their BBQ and bad ass beer.

[Kilmister]

and I feel like a total slacker for putting my bike up for the winter  
to be fair, I want to get the seat re-done and i'll be installing heated grips here shortly.  I guess after that, I have no excuses.  

[Meemuh]

Most of the lunches I see are usually around Lansing...you could meet up with a bunch of the east-siders and head into the next Lansing get-together.  Then you get to meet some of the westerners, too.

I am a fan of this "beer".  I am never without the good stuff in my fridge (or garage this time of year) in case anyone were to be in my neighborhood.

If you want to come west young man, I'll have a BBQ in June (as well as attending lunches)- I am just working on hammering out the date.

Drag a fish head, a raw deer sausage, and a banana on a string attached to the bike, head to your destination and wait. They'll come when they pick up the scent trail.

I hope I don't get pulled over dragging this behind the bike.

Hell, with the participation we've got going for the Region 6 Spring Meet, he might be better advised to come down there.

It's the best way for me to meet some Michigan folks!!!  And if I didn't have to be in Boston June 6-8, Chris and I would be coming out to the BBQ!

You "need" to be in Boston, what's Chris gonna do? He could come hang out with us?
Or is a "Pass" needed?

Just asking?

L;

[Meemuh]

Yeah...you just lock him up in a closet when you go away, or what?
Poor Cablebandit.

Oh, you guys!    No pass needed...ever!  But he'd need to get a sitter for Oscar and who's gonna be waiting for me at the airport for that always romantic slow-motion reunion/embrace?!?

Romantic what? Hell I have been married so long the wife just says to make sure the laundry hits the hamper then it's to the chores.... I Love Her.....

Ok bak to reality, you could always pack your gear, fly to Detroit, get picked up at the airport.
And meet your "Romantic" hubby at Clays for a wonderful ride back home.


Ya know that's not a bad idea, sometime I suprise myself.

[Meemuh]

If the infamous Mr. Black would quit his job and come for the Cat-B-Q, AND Cablebandit got a sitter for the dog, AND MrsCB listened to Loki & flew into Detroit (Grand Rapids, of course, is much closer) - then all of the bases would be covered.

Your welcome.

If the Infamous Mr.Black quit his job, he would be LIVING in region 4 sponging off of Meemuh and Clay.

For a very long time?

[Meemuh]

It's possible that my plan isn't the best in the long term...but for the short term, it rocks.

[Cablebandit]

It is only a little over 500 miles.  

[CLAY]

That might not work out.

that was funny?  It seemed totally legit and realistic to me.  

I will straight up scrap with you over the last donut!!   *


*not really.  I'd probably give it to you because I ride a 600 these days and it needs all the help I can give it.

Have you tried hanging around a bar in a short skirt? That seemed to be working for a lot of people the last time I drove through Detroit.

[Kilmister]

you guys couldn't handle my gams.  

[Mr.Black]

you guys couldn't handle my gams.  

You'll know how silly this statement is when you meet some of these guys.

I'm starting to wonder if I joined the wrong forum.    Back off Mister, I'm spoken for.   *




*added a  smiley at the end so people would know I was joking and not think I was being homophobic or accusing them of anything.

I hope you're talking about the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS)

[Kilmister]

I hope you're talking about the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS)

What if I was talking about whales?

Noun
gam (plural gams)
A collective noun used to refer to a group of whales; a pod.
1862, Henry Theodore Cheever, The Whalemen's Adventures in the Southern Ocean, Darton & Hodge, page 116.
Upon getting into a "gam" of whales, this boat, together with that of one of the mates, pulled for a single whale that was seen at a distance from the others, and succeeded in getting square up to their victim unperceived.

[DeansZG]

 You could always schedule a lunch meet at SLOWS BBQ, then corral the bunch around the corner for a group photo tag of the bikes-n-crew in front of the old Grand Central Station building for shitz-n-giggles....  

[Kilmister]

Slow's in Detroit?
This could probably be arranged.  

[sleazy rider]

Here ya go!  Show up, be counted and meet the gaggle of loonies who frequent the board.
