I found this posted at the VJMC calendar:

September 20, 2009: Stockbridge, Michigan

Stockbridge All Clubs Day

This is the fall Suzi Greenway rally that is now in Stockbridge. They are calling it All Clubs Rally and therefore you will see all brands of motorcycles in the small town of Stockbridge, MI, located southeast of Lansing and northwest of Ann Arbor. Japanese bikes are more than welcome and the VJMC will be there. From 12 noon to 4 PM on Sunday, Sept. 20. Come ride in and spend the day.

Lots of nice bikes around the town square, and lots of good riding near Stockbridge.
There may also be a Poker Run on Saturday 19th. I'm looking into that.
EDIT: No plans for a poker run this year, weekend weather forecast is favorable.

I used to hunt over in Stockbridge. I recommend Dixies Diner for breakfast. Her cinnamon rolls rock. Gosh I hope she is still there.

Mike was it worth going? Was there alot of bikes and is it going to happen again next year?

Yeah, definitely worth going. At least just to check out all the old bikes. Most likely will happen again next year. Here is an interview I found with the host about the history of the event.

I didn't get there this year, but I have gone in the past. It's a great, informal event. Just stroll around and don't forget to bring a good camera.

maybe I will make it there next year. Sounds like it was a good time. The bucket list for next year as follows: Vintage Days Ohio, Stockbridge,and Gilmore. So  much to do in Mich.Thank goodness it is all only a couple hour ride away

Gordon, I plan to hit all of those next year too. Haven't been to Vintage Days or Gilmore yet, so I'm looking quite forward to those.

I counted nine CBX's at the VJMC lineup. I totally missed that lonely CB750 tucked in next to those 3 CBX's.

We should try to round up  as much sohc4 members and all meet somewhere before hand, that would cool.

Sounds good jesus freek.

I don't think I caught this in any of my photos, but there were a few guys walking around in shorts and their riding boots... really!?

[jesus freek]

what some people do boggles my mind. have you heard anything else on the cafe store in ypsi?

[BurtonWarpup]

I finally checked them out a few Sundays ago. They've got a few nice bikes in the store and a very small accessories section. I don't know if they stock any parts but it appears you can order through them. They also do repairs on vintage bikes and cafe conversions. I doubt I'll need their repair services, but it's nice to have a place nearby that can work on our bikes if needed. In the storefront they sell locally roasted coffee. Nothing fancy, just leaded and unleaded, but it's darn tasty. They french press it actually.

Oh, their site is now up at http://www.caferacerypsi.com/, but they've got more info on Facebook.
