Anyone planning on attending Rockerbox in Milwaukee Wi this August?

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #1 on:** July 05, 2011, 03:30:27 PM »

I probably will. I will be back from the Michigan/Wisconsin leg of the rally by then and the Chicago to Milwaukee ride is a nice one. I had a couple people at Chicago Mods vs Rockers that I need to go to Rockerbox.

crackerbat · « **Reply #2 on:** July 05, 2011, 03:37:28 PM »

I'll be there.

Not sure if the new project will be completed by then, tho

Oh yeah... I'm there.
It's in my back yard so I better.
Tim Schneider at "The Shop" in Bay View, WI did some work on my build (relaced wheels, mounted tires, final tuning) and is a sponsor.

We should rally our Honda's and park together.
Anybody else entering their bike?

I went last year, had a great time, and probably will again this year. Milwaukee is one of my favorite cities and I got friends there too...+1 on getting a big Honda/SOHC4 group together.

Nice, I got a Bday to go to but for sure heading up there.

and for those that don't know

ZanVooden · « **Reply #8 on:** July 05, 2011, 08:26:01 PM »

I'm planning on riding over. Hoping my F3 will be painted and ready by then, If not then I'll be there on my trusty K8

johnny · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2011, 07:41:51 AM »

Weather permitting, I'll ride up.

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2011, 07:57:10 AM »

If somebody local will secure a spot we can use text messages to meet up

sixthwisconsin · « **Reply #11 on:** July 06, 2011, 08:48:30 AM »

Wonder if we could meet at "The Shop" in Bay View. If you guys are interested, I'll call Tim Schneider and see if its OK. Rockerbox starts at 11:00 so when do we want to meet?
PM me and I'll start a list of interested folks and post it here.

Here is a link to the event:

I will be there for sure had an amazing time last year. As for my bike I hope to have the paint work completed by the weekend and shipped back to me next week. I'm encouraging a few friends to go we'll meet up with some riders at Morrie's Place in Ringwood Illinois. This is a wicked shop with at least 60 bikes for sale on the floor from every make and they are ALL old bikes. It's worth the detour whether you're headed to Rockerbox or not.

If anyone in Chicago wants to do a non-interstate, slowish ride (I'll be on my 350F) up there, I'd be down. I know Joe Block usually leads one but I haven't heard anything yet.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2011, 02:45:26 PM »

Yeah, last year I met up with the Ton Up Club in Chicago and rode the rest of the way with them...but it was by no means "slowish"

...my Kawi buddy even threw a rod trying to keep up. I like sticking to the back roads no matter what speed so if you locals know a good route, I'm down. +1 on Morrie's, that place was cool last year

sixthwisconsin · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2011, 02:50:51 PM »

I travel to northern Illinois quite regularly and take Hwy 45. Good road all the way with a 55 mph speed limit. I rode the 550 down and back last Saturday using that route. 135miles round trip.

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2011, 02:52:56 PM »

I would probably ride up Sheridan Road most of the way, slow, but a very nice ride

That would work for me.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2011, 06:16:01 PM »

how bout greenbay rd (31 in wisconsin , 131 in Illinois) i'd be down for that .... not Sheridan all the way tho ... come to think if it i think 31 and Sheridan join together just after Racine ....i'm all for the scenic route

sixthwisconsin · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2011, 06:43:13 PM »

Sheridan road/Lake Drive would be a nice route. You do go through all the towns along the way but thats not that bad. Haven't done that route in a long time. You could trip along on LSD all the way...

Have fun!

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:54:25 AM »

Sheridan and Green Bay run close together all the way up the north shore into Wisconsin. I've taken Sheridan as far north as Kenosha, and I have mapped a route farther, but not ridden it.

sixthwisconsin · « **Reply #21 on:** August 04, 2011, 08:03:02 PM »

This never really came together but some of us Wisconsinites are meeting up at Maxim's restaurant, 18025 West Capitol Drive in Brookfield at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Any and All are welcome. We will most likely depart at about 9:30 for RockerBox and ride down Capitol Drive all the way to Humboldt ave and then South to Locust.

Let me know who to look out for.

I'll be the guy riding the Honda...

Tews19 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2011, 04:11:04 AM »

I am there. I will be giving you a call around 830 when we get there. This should be fun

Spikeybike · « **Reply #23 on:** August 05, 2011, 10:04:37 AM »

i just learned that my evil baby mamma will be working the broken cherry booth .. .. so if you could throw her some random insults .. that would be awesome
