Hey There,

My trip to Chicago was AWESOME!!! I had a GREAT time, and I actually thought about moving up there, however; I am not sure the bike would come with me... you guys don't seem to have driving laws, more like driving suggestions LOL!!! Of course the subburbs looked a bit less scary than down town :D

So I haven't had much luck with the Chicago riders the last two years. They say third times the charm!

So for the third year :roll: any Chicago riders?

So we finally got a few illinois riders posting good. Last time I posted no one ever responded I think. Well I live up north in the rockford area near the wisconsin border. But I'd be to meet up for a ride. Although I would need advanced notice.

And your right about downtown. People are just crazy behind the wheel. You would probably be safer standing in the path of a tornado lol.

LoL, I actually feel very safe and comfortable riding around downtown. Everything moves in nice little predictable patterns. It's out in the boonies that scares me, I don't know what the cars are going to do!

Rockford's not that far out, I like to head out to the Geneva area from time to time for riding, maybe we can hook up one of those rides.

Ya I would welcome the company zarak. I have taken a ride up to the geneva area once and it was very pleasant. As far as city traffic, tight traffic no protection and a whole lot of pavement = :oops: :frusty:

As far as when would be a good time the weekend would probably work best. Actually if you get off of 90 West at the Genoa\belvidere road exit there is a pancake house we could meet at just up the road.

In any event have a good ride.

So zarakand do you think we'll finally get a full day of dry time soon? Really is putting a serious killjoy in my riding plans.

No I think I'll skip if I start dancing probably cause more rain. You know there is always the option of getting a little wet? :twisted: :lol:
