Heyas~

I'm not actually from the Chicago area (Lansing, Michigan, really) but I've got some friends out there, and I'm up for shooting down a couple solo hours for the ride out there if there's an event happening. :D

Anyways, should someone want to put something together out that way, I'm up for it. :)

Hmm, we should try and do a TMW ride. There are a couple of us in the Chicago area. Well two in Indiana. I have the weekend of June 10-13 off if anyone wants to take a long road trip. I'd love to ride to Niagara falls. It'd be fun if a few of us State-side riders were able to meet up with some of our Canadian brethern in Toronto.

Hey, that sounds pretty cool to me. :)

Just about anyone from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois could meet up sonmewhere on the road before heading into the Canada area.

Think we should send around some PMs to see who all might be interested?

I think we should send out the pms, it'd be fun if we could get everyone together. Or since this is such short notice, plan something for July?

Yeah, I was thinking that June 10th is pretty close too..

I could probably go on the 10th, but it'd be better to let more people have time to work it out.

I will be visiting Chicago from the 19th to the 23rd. Is there anywhere that I could rent a bike to ride? Just thought I would ask :) Is there a place and time where people meet that I might could join up with?

Thanks
Becca

Hi,

The only place I know of to rent bikes is the Harley dealership, and they're pretty expensive. Last I checked it was $130 a day or so. I'll glance at our yellow pages to see if anything else comes up. If it does it would be great to hook up for a ride. Have a safe trip.
