Premium Member snowdriftless Posted February 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hey everyone, I currently reside in Iowa but visit Chicago all the time (Attended college there and still have a few friends in the area). The Doomsday ride sounds fun. Maybe we could get a group ride together some time? P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of bikes cruising through the city and surrounding areas. I'm down for a group ride tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the break in as long as you stay away from high rpm's and keep them varying you'll be fine. No need to baby it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member craigm Posted April 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'd join a group ride now the snow is gone. I have some work to do on the bike, EJK just arrived and Ixil hyperlow should be here in a couple of weeks. But I just want to get out and ride now.

Either that or a small brewery or something.

fastb4ck Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yeah small brewery could be fun, Half Acre is in Chicago, Two brothers somewhere out in the burbs, or whatever else you know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member craigm Posted July 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 Haven't been on here for a couple of weeks. But I'm still interested too and could head down to somewhere like Schaumburg as a starting point. I had a pint of Two Brothers last night - would definitely like to visit that brewery. I was up at New Glarus last month, but in the car with the wife. I'm heading abroad tomorrow but will be back on July 27th so anytime after that is good for me.

If we are going to Two Brothers I can meet up anywhere North of there as I'll be coming from Gurnee. I'll be out of town this weekend but a buddy of mine just bought a red fz07 as well. He plans to paint it yellow like his mustangs have been but wanted the black Frame so he bought red. I'm sure he'll chime in here at some point but. When I'm back I'm sure he'd be down to cruise if we're still trying to put something together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member craigm Posted August 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 5, 2015 OK no problem, maybe another time.. So instead I'm going to ride up to Milwaukee to check out some other bikes at a couple of dealers. As much as I love the 07, I'm thinking about trading up to something bigger.
