So would Honda riders be rockers or dismissed?

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

Riders from the Milwaukee area are meeting at the Fuel Cafe for the ride down to Chicago.  There will be two groups meeting, 9am for the lakefront ride and 11am for the freeway ride.  I'll be taking the lake front ride and look forward to seeing the other early birds.   8)

I think we might take 88 & 290 in & 55 & 80 out. those tolls are no fun though especially since they give no break on a bike. ::)

WATCH OUT FOR CABS !
They will literally run you off the road if you arent aware of them. They also like to make hard/sharp turns in front of you with no brakes (or signals), do 10mph on a street where traffic is doing 45 and then slam on their brakes, etc..Besides that just watch out for potholes and you should be good to go  ;D!

Look for the guy wearing the Half Fast shirt and the beard (that will be me)... ;D
