Thinking of starting a riders group in Chicago 'burbs

Iron Butt

Not. 400 miles a day is about my reasonable limit. Therefore 3 - 4 days for the Lake Michigan loop?:type

See you tomorrow evening!

I'll be driving the 323i cage.

We could go a bit further north once we get to Houghton. We can stay in some hotel for a night in Houghton during the BMWRA rally.

ghostridery2k and Montauk consider possible routes.


A good beginning, looks like we'll be doing a first group ride in May, thank you all for participating.
 
Watching the weather, I think we can do it. Bob, I thought your bike was torn down? You probably have more then one.;)
 
Ride report -

Grey and chilly, but thankfully electric vests (and in the case of Ghostrider electric gloves and in the case of OU812 being encased in LT level Tupperware and an electric vest).

Inch of so of snow on the ground and roads in Wisconsin - 75 mile trip for me, Curt, we apologize for the missed signals, Montauk understand completely ... we will repeat soon!

When is Spring?
 
Here are the 2 pics I took today. Lame I know, but too busy shivering.
