Windy City or Bust!
« on: January 13, 2006, 05:12:12 PM »
Heffay's girlfriend here, while Heffay furiously packs.  Didn't know it at 10 am this morning, but we are going to Chicago.  There was a sweet deal on Ebay just begging to be impulsively bid upon, and so we did.  I am now the almost-owner of a sweet '87 EX500 (white).  I know it's not a SOHC-4 but it's still pretty awesome.  We attempted to borrow large vehicles from multiple friends and family, were denied, and suceeded in renting one super cheap (courtesy of Heffay's wise ol' age).  Got off work, got some munchies and CDs, and off we go.  We'll be back just in time for school to start and to get my cast off (doesn't mean I won't drive her, I'll just chicken arm the throttle or something  ;)).  Here's to adventure! ;D

that's a lovely drive you have ahead of you...until you get to Kansas, that is  ;D

enjoy the ride! ...actually Kansas might be kinda fun to tear across on a bike - the faster the better...

If you need something around Kansas City - 816 516 9304

Sounds like a great trip for all of the right reasons.

born and raised in kansas... been there done that... and just did it again... except in a brand new dodge dakota v8!  enterprise rules!  100 dollars for 3 days unlimited mileage. 

well, we're back.  safe and sound.  bike needs a bit of work but, i'd say that's what i went to MMI for right?  anyone got a set of pipes for an 87 ex500?  i know... this is a sohc4 site heffay... Cheapo?... anyone?

even got to go visit mom in kansas on the way  ;D

btw, chicago is really freakin cold when trying to make a cash deal outside at 2am!

yea... i would have tried to meet up with some of you guys but, seeing that we start school tomorrow it was kindof a rush trip.  hopefully we'll be able to make it out for the pig roast later this year.
