    I think that it would be great to get a group of folks together for a long ride or a BBQ. I am going to be out of town for the next couple weekends, but am pretty open for the rest of the summer.

        Sounds good, but I need some time...

        I would be up for a ride or get together, unfortunately the bike is still not ready. I'm embarassed as to how long it's taking me, but there is progress, just slow. If there was an opportunity later in the summer, I'd be up for it. Would give me a deadline to shoot for!

          I'm a bit further south, but I might be able to take a trip up that direction closer to the end of the summer. My company's corporate office is up in Bensenville, so I might be able to make it a business trip too!

              That's definitely a possibility. I'm think I'm close to having it running right, but it would be great to get some hands on help dialing it in.

                        Matt, where are you going to be on the July 10 weekend? Not that it is any business of mine, but I was just wondering.

                        I’ll be coming if my Colorado trip falls though but, hopefully, I’ll be riding out there for the first 10-12 days of August.

                            Walnecks motorcycle swap meet in Woodstock Sun for us Chicagoland folks. Supposedly a pretty good size too.

                              Woodstock on 8/16 sounds like a good excuses for a ride. I’m planning on going if it doesn’t end up raining all day. Will I meet some of you there?

                              The national swap meet in Davenport Iowa isn’t all that far from Chicago. You could give it a try. Go here http://www.chiefblackhawk.org/ and click on Swap Meet. You would want to spend the night if you want to see the antique flat track races Friday evening.
