Hi Tommyboy,
Thaks for the invitation and friendrequest.
I will do my best to show up on saturday at route 66. I just sold today my first build but I'm starting a 2nd one with a Felt Twin. Don't know if I'll be able to make it to any event with it this year because, I'm trying to make the frame tank as well and I have no much of idea in how. but if I finish it on time I'll be there to show up with you guys on the next events.

alright shop dogs, good to finally hear from ya,i hear ya on the cash situation, however i have the time. i checked the forecast for this week, rain should be clearin up after wedsday, and it will be a little bit on the cool side but that dont bother me none.i was thinkin about comin up towards you guys, yous have all the better riding routes out by you guys as im in the city and its chaos everywhere i go. its about 50 miles from midway to waukegan so i may ride up there or may throw the bike on the rack, but either way i been wantin to go up north just because of the open roads and less traffic and congestion. also u guys have kool bike paths and chill sites up there, i been thinkin about makin a kustom little trailer for the bike and packin up my tent and a couple other supplies and takin like a week adventure, just campin out takin a few pictures here and there, ya know, enjoy the GREAT OUTDOORS!!-LOL. but anyways, let me know, ill shoot out by you guys and try to convince a buddy to come also. i just wanna ride. i posted on your profile a message, you were sayin somethin a while back about a motorized bike path from illinois to wisconsin with a tavern at the end of the bike trail? anyways hit me back on here, and any of you other illinois guys join in....

Anything going on this summer? I'd like to go to a group ride or event. Not many of us in Chicago, but maybe enough for a race? I wonder why mbs are so popular in SoCal, and not Chicago.

Im in ... But better plan it now and tell everyone in north america if U want people to show? There is a club in chi town (or was) called the backpeadlers and there are about 30 people from the area that ive meet or chated with via the forum ,so there out there.
Imo there are three basic types of events ,rallys ,culb 2 club run ,and the pigyback. Club 2 club is the easyest to pull off and the rally prob the hardest to do. The good thing about pigyback is there are already people heading to the main event. And that helps spread the word about mb's in poss. Light.

So figure out what sounds right and lett me know ,Ill back it and be there!
Me ,I was thinking right before or after 9/11/12 (tue) Perhaps the weekend before 9/8-9/12. With a rain date of the weekend after? Far enough out to lett people plan ?

I am planning on taking a 42 mile round trip cruise from London Mills, Illinois to Wolf Covered Bridge over by Gilson, Illinois. The road would be 21 miles of paved quiet country blacktop the whole way and here in a few weeks the trees should start turning and make for some great eye candy. Anyone interested in riding along...feel free to contact me. The Spoon River Scenic Drive is the first two weekends of October and I am still considering doing some type of cruise one day of one of those weekends.

If anyone wants to check out my Wolf Covered Bridge trip route on google earth, I will be heading north out of London Mills on County Hwy 39 to Bridgeport Road. Then there are a few paved blacktops that wind north until you get to County Hwy 20. I will follow that over to Maquon, Illinois and continue east on Co. Rd 20 until I reach 1900 E Knoix Rd and then thake that up to County Rd 17 which takes you to the Wolf Covered Bridge. Be a real nice cruise I think.
