I think a fair number of FIBs, or should I say Chicagoans, are coming up for it.  I'll try to come.  If you see a sh!tty looking 750K3 with a rusty tank and a IL plate that says "STINKY", that's me.

Yea last year was brutal, the 80+ temps with the off and on showers made for a very muggy day.  I may just throw some shorts in a back pack this year.

It was moto-gasmic!  Good to see some of the forum members there.

Here are some pics taken by others:

Nice!

BTW, our very own Godffrey won an award for his CB550 that took August's Bike of the Month.  Personally, I think he should have won best in show.  That bike is such a work of art and engineering.  The clutch cover on that bike is sick!!!

What a BLAST...!!!  This thing gets better every year; as usual I got a little too much sun and my feet are still sore, but WELL WORTH IT!

Gratz again Godffrey, I have got to get to your place before the cold sets in and look that thing over. How long do you think you will have it around?

Ah.. Tell him I thought it was pretty cool I don't ever remember seeing a 500/550 with a side car. It looked like very quality work! I thought about turning around and catching up to him at the next light, however I shot that idea down for fear he may brand me a stalker! ;)

Oh they are the ones that have Deftone's bike on their website..
