Author Message   Cmodtopgun Posted on Sunday, July 11, 2004 - 09:50 pm:        Woody, make it home last night with shifter intact?   Fly Posted on Monday, July 12, 2004 - 01:45 pm:        Mark, I also enjoyed the ride home from Union after the Midnight Tour. I'm glad I rode with you and Woody instead of taking the Tollway home like I originally planned. There is something very satisfying about riding the secondary roads with a small group of bikes late at night. My shoulder didn't really bother me too much, so things are look'n up.   Cmodtopgun Posted on Monday, July 12, 2004 - 07:06 pm:        Fly, glad to hear it, we will have to go out again soon.   Bomber Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 09:47 am:        you oguys give me a shouit when ya go!   Fly Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 01:24 pm:        Bomber, Will do! I'm ready for a day trip to Kettle Moraine real soon.   Fly Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 01:32 pm:        Sam, Aside from the rain at the end of a long day, it sounds like the Joliet race ride was fun. Do they actually run GN dirt track races in the rain in that slop, or do things get rescheduled?   Daves Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - 02:20 pm:        OK the deal is done! Here's the details.

I know it sounds a little early but booking a hall, etc. for that large a group takes some prior planning. Think it over so we can vote on it at the next meeting and give the HOG guys an approx. number in the near future. Sam   Grndskpr Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 08:03 am:        Who are they going to pull aside this year?????? To bitch to????? I havent seen Brent around in a while, so i guess its Curts time R   Fly Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 01:50 pm:        Hey, they don't have any gripe with me.......yet Personally, I liked the Xmas event last year and would vote to do it again. It was a well run, fun, friendly, very well-atended kind of night out with a great group of people.   Grndskpr Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 02:09 pm:        In case anybody missed this, Speedy made the Buell web site under the racers section, way to go Speedy: http://www.buell.com/en_us/mania/racing/profile-pirog.asp Robert "Speedy" Pirog FAST FACTS Name: Robert "Speedy" Pirog Age: 38 Residence: West Chester, IL Hometown: Chicago, IL School/Career: Auto Technician/Harley Parts Started Riding: Age 13 Racing Number: 522 Expert Current Bike(s): 1998 Buell S1, 2003 Buell XB9R Class: LW GP, LW SB, Super Twin, Thunderbike Series: CCS Sponsors: Kiesow Racing, Illinois Harley-Davidson/Buell, RP Motorsports, Racetech, Penske, EBC Racing Accomplishments: 5th place finishes LW Grand Prix and Superbike What do you like most about Buell® Racing?: Easy to ride, lots of torque.

Congratulations are due.   Paladin Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 - 03:33 pm:        kind of disappointed. Hogs for dogs cancelled. here's the letter cant blame them they are out to make money for a charity. Kirk, Hello from Cleveland, OH. I talked with Steve Metz a while ago and found that we never really firmed anything up with your local dealer for that Saturday. In the meantime, we were offered a full booth at Milwaukee's House Of Harley shop on the 31st during the Wisconsin Rally. It was an offer that we couldn't pass up, even though it means we have to ride 100 miles after the event to get back for our radio interview in the WGN studios that evening.   Sams Posted on Thursday, July 22, 2004 - 03:26 pm:        Just a reminder that the Blackhawk Farms Trackday is next Wednesday, July 28th. There's still plenty of room if anyone is interested. Those who are on my list that haven't paid, please do so. Sam   Fly Posted on Friday, July 23, 2004 - 01:15 pm:        Weekend weather within 400 mile radius of Chicago in any direction looks absolutely perfect for riding....mild temps, clear and 0% precipitation. Is anyone up for riding this Friday, Saturday or Sunday? Post here to generate interest and/or call my mobile 708 373-5445. I'm up for anything.....long, short, overnight, Galena, Kettle Moraine, Starved Rock, local, far, whatever.   Cj_xb Posted on Friday, July 23, 2004 - 01:55 pm:        Starved Rock, There's a small group of us from Uke's club riding down to Starved Rock on Sunday, meeting at Uke's at 8:00. Of course you big city guys might not be interested in riding with us "Northerners" !! LOL CJ   Cj_xb Posted on Friday, July 23, 2004 - 01:57 pm:        It's Speedy! Congratulations are due. CONGRATS !!   Fly Posted on Friday, July 23, 2004 - 02:20 pm:        CJ, And here I was thinking of playing in your neck of the woods this weekend. Are you all getting bored with the GREAT Wisconsin riding opportunities right outside your back door? Must be nice! Regarding Starved Rock, would your group be interested in picking up a more backroad (i.e. fun) route starting around Willow Springs, or alternately, Joliet, IL? It would add 60-90 additional minutes to reach Starved Rock verses super-slab route. But it's much more interesting, less traveled and allows more opportunities to stretch sport-bike legs prior to hitting the best stuff near Starved Rock. Let me know if interested and I'll provide more detail. I even have a (text) route map I can post. What route were you planning on taking?
