SAINT LOUIS MEET-UP - JULY 30TH VENICE CAFE...
« on: July 04, 2006, 11:47:39 PM »
Guys, let's all us mid-MO/ILL riders get together some night here in the big city - anybody close enough to roll their big 4 into town should plan to attend - I hearby open this thread to attract attention to the fact that we seem to have enough of us around to make it worth at least one Meet - if not to establish some kind of regular club, patch-worthy perhaps, to show the love...

Scott(STLrocker) and I are already buds - he has pulled me out of some mechanical jams already, and we have a funky, motley crew that meets at a bar, Lemon's, here in town - not strictly a Honda club, although a couple of the guys do have Hondas - with a little encouragement I know of at least one that's up on blocks that we could nurse back to life with a little 750 envy...

What say y'all? anybody interested in swarming into town some night? I'm thinking within this month - and anybody with ride ideas please speak up - I am jonesing for some get-outta-town, day trip type thing just to clear my head a little...

bring it,
junkie out...

yeah man. i'm trying as fast as i possibly can to get my bike running!!! Soooo close! waiting on parts basically. i've got about a week and a half on my seat (air tech is making it). Then my exhaust is backordered, so i'm gonna trey to take my old one to a shop to try to get the hole patched so i can at least start the bike up... I hope by the end of the month I can get everything ready! As far as dates go Saturdays are the only bad day for me. Sundays are ok in my book. Where you thinking of riding?

The wife & I try to get to STL once a year to see a Cardinals game & just to visit (I was born there). Haven't got a line on tickets yet but we're shooting for late July or August. Gotta see the new stadium! I wouldn't have the bike with me (I live across from Louisville, KY) but it would be cool if the times worked out so I could meet some of you guys.

okay - keep it coming brosephs - the more responses we get the better we can plan this thing out

prsman, i know all about what you're going through - it's well worth the work - pretty soon you'll be riding around with a big, goofy grin on your face - heh...zip it along, so far we need more feedback, but it won't be too long, i hope, before we can get together.

I would be interested as well!

Depending when the meet is I may be in STL or in Phoenix.

My bike will probably not be on the road this month though.

what's your schej like? are you here and there on a fairly regular basis or is it more "randomized"?

Hey CBJ, ok I'll bite. My 550 aint ready yet but the 750 is alive and well. Name the time and place, but make it a SAFE place ok? Badass bikers make me a little nervous :)

whuuuh?

 :D ok, man - whatever that means...if you show up with your beard braded into your armpit hair and a virgin skull dangling from your scrotum piercing I'm gonna run real fast...

don't worry - we'll keep it easy - who doesn't know where Soulard is?

River road is always a cool idea. There is a ferry that takes you out to BFE for free. Plenty of open roads out there. Also, I hear there is a great place to ride a little further south in illinois. Shawnee National forest me thinks??? I think it's waaaayyyy down south.

Obj - I wanted to meet up central, you are really gonna throw a wrench in that idea! Mostly we're sort of in the STL area so far - If you show you'll be the long-distance rider for sure. I have friends in KC - maybe you can host one weekend?

Date? Hows about the weekend of the 30th?

Prsmans gotta get his baby running but most of what he is doing seems to be cosmetic or minor maintenance.

Let's have comments...

30th should be feasible. The main thing i'm waiting on is my seat can't ride without one of those.

ok, i just saw this thread, but junkie, you should already know i'm in. 30th is good for me. now lets nail down a place. i think soulard was mentioned. any objections there?

prsman, if you need a hand with anything, i would be up for helping. wouldnt want anyone to miss out. my schedule is pretty free all month. i could probably patch up that exhaust easily.

just put a throw cushion off the couch on there - i tried it out and it's very comfortable...

Scott - I'm still up for Soulard, but hadn't planned a spot - how about Venice?

July 30th - can't be there.  A two stroke show in LA that I'm committed to.

CBJ - I'd prolly trailer the beast to STL.  I know, not hard core.
