Birthday Coffee it's on, this Sunday adendum

[bluemax]

Happy Birthday to me, Happy birthday to B.J.,Happy Birthday to 'The Lurker', Happy Birthday to me

Let's just go ahead and pull the trigger.
Sunday July 22nd at the Blatz cafe 10am.
Hopefully the birthday children can make it.
Maybe we can entice them with some cake and the promise of presents, not really.  

The Blatz Cafe
270 E. Highland
Milwaukee

It's bound by Juneau to the north, Broadway to the east, Highland to the south and Water street to the west in downtown Milwaukee.

For the GPS crowd  N43 02.606  W87 54.584

To get the ST-N discount you must utter the phrase,
"holy crap The Lurker is now older than dirt"

[Sport-Touring]

[dnlwthrn]

Why not just make it the "unbirthday" coffee meet, and we can ALL celebrate our birthdays together...










Or not.

[Fourstring]

Holy crap!  A coffee meet I could make it too!  And the weather would be decent for a change!  GLEE!

Who's calling it?

[mxvet57]

name the place and time and i'll be there

[RedCBRRider]

If you call it, I'm in.

[Fourstring]

If I call it, we all get lost!  

Starved Rock, maybe?  Does anyone know if Old Stage Road is back up and running?

[DavidLSI]

I believe Bluemax was calling it for his place in downtown Milwaukee.  Very cool urban setting in the Blatz Bewery building.

[bomber]

Me and my best riding buddy and wingman will be walkabout up in the driftless area this weekend -- you folks have fun, and ride safe!

[RedCBRRider]

Ok.  I'm in.  Bring those tire pumps in case I get another flat on the way there.

[Fourstring]

I'm in!  We riding anywhere before or after?

[jadziadax8]

Woohoo!  I'll be there too!

[mxvet57]

[mxvet57]

Woohoo!  I'll be there too!

 you 2 might want to leave around 5:00 in the morning so if you get lost you have plenty of time to get there on time.  


and you thought we would forget about that one.

[Fourstring]

 

Nah, they're all excuses for the fact that we can't wake up before noon.

[Breadman]

See you there, folks.

[FZ1 Matt]

I'll go. And if Lurker and BJ can't make it we're going to have to make cardboard cutouts of them and bring them to coffee with us.

David -- get cracking on this project. You know you want to.

Wanting to and accomplising by Sunday are two different things.

Though me and two full sized pillions would make a funny sight heading up 94

 or we'll have to ride to there places of residents to harass them.

like some one (FRZY) that didn't show up at one coffee meet like he said he would.

I'll try to make it, need to get the OK from Cat first though.

[Ears]

We is gonna try to make this one since we missed it back in April!

Will there still be a discount for the secret password??

[Sparky]

I'll be there!

There will be, but the password is a secret.  

[HipGnosis]

I'm IN.

Anyone want to meet up earlier for breakfast?  

I'm thinking Teds at 62nd and North Ave or Johnny V's Classic Cafe at 1650 S 84th St (both Milwaukee) but open to suggestions.

Oh.. since it's sorta in the area...  the gas station at 71st and Center has plus grade gas at regular price on Sundays.

[Stargzrgrl]

Um...

Would any of you Northern Illinois types (we're S.C.A.N.C.K.s by the way   ) be interested in riding with me?  

I know how to get to Wisconsin it's just I'm not very good at finding my way once I'm there.  

[Grnarrowe]

Where you wanna meet up? Ear and I are going and I usually follow directions.

[mxvet57]

  who's directions?

[Grnarrowe]

Mine. I learned the hard way. Follow MY directions it's easier.

[Avigar]

Will there be a planned ride after the coffee meet? Inquiring minds want to know.  

[CoolWhip]

All signs point to>>>>>>>>>>yes...maybe.  

 

[CoolWhip]

Will there be a planned ride after the coffee meet? Inquiring minds want to know.  

Well, if you are looking for something to do later:

The Blue Olives Band will be playing in the afternoon @ Fin's, 2:00 P.M. (Newville, WI).  Kind of a cool place because live music is played outside with the Rock River in the background.  Just an idea.    

[Breadman]

HEY HIP-I wouldn't mind a little breakfast on Sun. morning.  A warning: I'm kinda cheap and I can eat a ton of food.  The lower the prices for breakfast, the better.  Name the place and time-I'll be there(not before 6:30 if possible).

[Stargzrgrl]

Where you wanna meet up? Ear and I are going and I usually follow directions.

I dunno, I'm just south of you two off of rt 60/83.  Pick a spot and I can meet you two there?

As long as they're not mine.  Everyone shoould know better by now.  

[johnnyb]

I do believe I'll have to stop by and hoist a mocha to the birthday folks good health.
Cheers

I'm with you on the 'kinda cheap' (thou I'm cutting back on eating a 'ton'..)  The easy answer for that use to be the Hutch restaurant, but it's gone.

So make it the Lil Cafe at  91st & National at 8:00(ish).
They don't have a parking lot to meet in, but they do have tables in front of the place.

I've got the coffee meet location in my GPS.

[DavidLSI]

WARNING. 43 is closed north bound as of early Saturday morning

SeeYa

[Grnarrowe]

How bout the Citgo Station on 83 & 132, about 8:15 AM?

[HipGnosis]

WARNING. 43 is closed north bound as of early Saturday morning

I'm deducing that you mean IL-43, and not I-43 in WI.

[Breadman]

Hip: I'll see you on 91st & National at 8.

[Stargzrgrl]

How bout the Citgo Station on 83 & 132, about 8:15 AM?

Works for me!  

[Grnarrowe]

Works for me!  

See ya there

[Bkobernus]

  Not to break into your party, but I'd like to come too.  The Brewry sounds like a cool spot. I'm just looking for an excuse to meet other riders, and see Milwaukee in the summer time. I'm usually there in the winter.  

I look forward to meeting you all.

Coffee Meets have been and always will be open to everyone. Heck, we wouldn't know each other if it wasn't that way.

Looking forward to meeting you Bill, you soon to be member of the  F.U.C.K.E.R.S.

[FRZY]

Very cool to see so many out today.
Here's to y'all    we really need a coffee mug

no pics from me today, but I sure someone will post with some later. I did count 30 bikes there at one point. That would be the largest gathering so far  

[Sparky]

[bluemax]

Just a big thanks to all the troops that showed up today. That was a pretty sweet turn out, 30?  Though Lisa spent most of her time making drinks, she had a blast, including that little tumble for the camera. Sure hope we didn't scare away any of the new people. New blood is great, it's getting old telling and listening to same lies.  

Again thanks to everyone for coming, and maybe we can do one more before our time is up the Blatz Cafe.

[FRZY]

[Bkobernus]

[Ears]

Good Times!
Happy Birthday to Max, the Lurker and the absentee BJ.

Max & Lisa - love the fruit slushies/smoothies!

It was an interesting ride home... but you'll have to stay tuned for the GrnArrowe's report... he had to go to work and internet surfing has been turned off. You're all gonna hafts wait til tomorrow.

Looking forward to the next mass conglomeration of the F.U.C.K.E.R.S.!

[Grnarrowe]

Here be the scoop.

After turning onto the on Ramp for !94/43 we got seperated so I was doing the speed limt, imagine that, waiting for everyone to catch up. We had to wait for Ed cause he was racing some guy who was on foot, and losing. Anyway, as everyone is closing in on me this Sebering convertible passes me on the left. There wer 3 females in the back seat, cute too! When the one on the left FLASHES her high beams at me . Nice puppies!

Well I was pleased but they were pulling away so I speed up trying to get a second look but alas I could not meet the twins again. Hey it's a first for me.


Well here are some of my pics from the meet. I told Boots were going for coffee;
Meh, I don't do mornings


The intersection


Blatz!


The early arrivals


This is across from where we wer. This is discrimination! I say the next time we're there we PEE ON IT!!


FRZY in da House

This almost turned into another FJR meet. There were 7 in all.


MMMmmmmm, coffee. The magic password this time was HOLLY CRAP! THE LURKER IS OLDER THAN DIRT!


Seven of Seven


Ed's here!


Oh, and look what he brought for Ears.

There will be an auction for this item.

Once you go hack....

Smile for Fred!


Track daze


Fred just made Vroom Vroom noises


Matt's Buell was being cranky, actually it wasn't. That was a small problem.


Birthday Boyz


Had a great time hope to see everyone again soon, especially the twins, WOOT!!!

[Fourstring]

Had a great time seeing everyone there, along with a surprise redux with Ed on 290.  Hey, we weren't even that late!  It was great seeing Lisa's banjo pictures and talking about music in between massive amounts of caffiene.



By the way:
Did that convertible with the high beams have a dude with a mohawk in the front seat?

He made the wheelie motion at me and I flipped him off.  Maggie just laughed at him. 

Damn, coulda seen high beams...

Really enjoyed the Blatz Café.   Special thanks to Max & Lisa & everybody that made it out!   Excellent turn out.  

[stromgal]

As one of the Recent Birthday Bunch, I'm sorry I missed this stupendous gathering!



But not toooooo sorry, as I was at the MotoGP.      Glad you all had a great time.

We missed you too. We briefly discussed riding out to your place and taking the picture there  

[arktazz]

Nice group showing ... thanks for letting a "non member" hang with y'all

That must mean that you are the mysterious "W."

[Bkobernus]

The mysterious "W" was riding the SV1000.  I thought his name was Mike????  Nice guy.

Bill

[RedCBRRider]

The mysterious "W" was riding an FZ1 and his name is Mike.  He is a nice guy, and I do believe his screen name is FZeedom.  He may be the only guy that lurks almost as much as the lurker himself.

Would that make him "The son of The Lurker" or the "Return of the Son of The Lurker"?

How about "Lurker Light"

Sounds like you guys and gals had fun, I did see Grnarrowe, Ears, Yosh and Ed on 45 on Sunday morning going to the meet.

Not possible. Ed was with us on the way home, as was Avagar.

yup... that was on the way home, BUT on the way there it was just the 3 of us.  

[Breadman]

Oh yeah.

Now that was a big coffee meet!  Feels like it was about 5 minutes ago...
It's been so long since this occurred I'm wondering if everyone is still alive that attended this.  I hope so.
