Fyi is all the direction im thinkin of going.

So far barring monsoon weather im going and i think that candy ass on the red vtx is going to come with me... not sure about deer boy yet....

Would be nice to have several of us from this area to make the ride out.

post up if'n your thinkin of goin

[Auggie]

I'll be there....deer whistles and all. Are those the directions in code or is that some sort of link you posted? I'm scared to click on it. :shock:

[extreme vtx]

I will be there also, what time are you leaving auggie? I can meet up with you @ your place.

[Auggie]

Well.......if rainman wants to leave Clinton at 7 AM, we aughta be out of
De Witt by 6:30. How bout we just meet at the truckstop on 30 at about 6:15. That'l save you 16 miles cause I'm just gonna come back up to 30 anyway.

[extreme vtx]

I'm not sure where the truck stop is but it can't be that hard to find., but that will work and I will have my cell phone. Are you going to J+P on Tues?

[Auggie]

The truckstop is on the south side of town (De Witt) on 30 and the road I live on. (first exit east of 61)

I'll be in Minnesota on tuesday night so my chances of being there are slim. :wink:

[dave shady]

hardware store at 7am! glad the 3 of us can make it... wonder if anyone else will join in?

CLICK ON THE LINK YOU SISSY! see if them directions make sense.

[Auggie]

CLICK ON THE LINK YOU SISSY! see if them directions make sense.

I would guess that would be the fastest way...........as speed will be of the essence.

[dave shady]

for you rain watchers out here.


Calling for high 80's and no rain on saturday right now... LOL

[dave shady]

If you want to dress warmer than your T-shirt ill rent you some space in one of my saddle bags cheap for the trip..... just an FYI

[Woot!]

Dave,

I see you'll be coming up I-39. There's a gas station/convenience store at exit 115. Its a good place to meet up. There'll be me and one other guy. What time do anticipate being there? Or pick another place.

We'll also need to gas up before hitting Doyles.

I'll be off the board til late Thursday night. I'll check this board or my e-mail then.

Woot!

I have that worked out. Wouldn't want to displace your booze. :wink:

[bluto]

That is pretty much the route we took coming home from Colorado last week. There is only 1 toll you will need to pay on I88. Not sure about north of Rockford though. There is construction on I80 in Davenport but at the time you roll through, it shouldn't be a problem.

I sent a PM to Dave letting him know that if any of you need a place to crash (friday or saturday) that my place is open. Just let me know and I'll make sure there is enough place to crash.

I think you folks making the trip is an awesome gesture. Looking forward to meeting you all.

[dave shady]

Does that mean were going back thru Prarie on the way home? lol cause i forgot a BIG BOTTLE of watermellon pucker.......

[VTX Xtreme]

Must be having a blonde moment. Can you tell me what date your talking about. I might be interested if I don't have to work.

[dave shady]

leavin clinton at 7am from ACE hardware 411 7th ave south.

if you want more info and you want to come along we would love to have more folks from iowa to make the trip.

Dave

Cuttin' it close aren't you? Plan is to have stands up at 10am for the Memorial Ride. Hate for you all to roll in at 10:15 to have to try and find us or <gasp> wait at the bar for us until 4pm or so :D

[dave shady]

all interstate it looks like so i think if we haul ass we will make it....

one stop for gas and thats gona be it. The trip is will be for time and speed not fo smellin the roses.

But if the 2 get here a lil early i should be at the store by 6:40am. Im a duck hunter im always on time or early!

[VTX Xtreme]

If I don't have to work I will try to make it.

[dave shady]

30% chance for thunder storms for clinton on fri and sat now... I hate them. I think these hurricanes are going to play hell with us.

Maybe ill wear my old chest waders :twisted: that would be KOOL!

[TheDave]

Wish I could come along and support the group but I will be working.

[VTX Xtreme]

Sorry guys. Gotta pass this time. Something has come up with my kids. The bike just has to come 2nd to my daughters as I don't always get to see them much. Keep me in mind if you decided to organize another one. Just can't be during Homecoming as I will be leaving out for Marysville on the 26th and won't be back till late on 31st. Have a safe ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mcrider:

[dave shady]

BUT your right the children should come 1st no reason to apologize for that one.

will keep ya posted and keep on checkin the board here if ya got some time let us know!

Dave..

ohhhhhhh the new spike mirrors are on the shady scooter and

Functionality 1 to 10 a "2"

Cool factor 1 to 10 a "9"

I like will take some gettin used to and i hope them kurry adapters hold up.

[Auggie]

As long as you can't see yourself......I'd call them a win!!!! :wink:

I'm trying to psyche myself up for Saturday. I had to pick up a little work for another guy, that's gonna put me home around 5:00 AM. The rider of the blurple sage don't know if he can pull it off without a nap. I'll have to see how it goes but I doubt I'm gonna make it. You might aughta get a meet place hammered out in Clinton that Dave can find or give him good directions to the store...... this sucks.

[extreme vtx]

Dave, I'm still up for the ride Sat. Sounds like Auggie is going to back out, Just let me know where you want me to meet ya. I'm open to anything.

[Auggie]

I'll take note of your meeting place just in case, but don't expect me. I'll start as early as I can friday afternoon and bust my chops and see what time I get home, but right now, it don't look good. heh heh heh....I'll be in North Chicagoland Friday night so i'll be closer then.

A guy's wife just had a kid last night and he's dumping off runs to be home. I couldn't say no, cause next time it might be me who wants time off. It's only 2 hours of local work, but still 2 more than I expected.

[extreme vtx]

[dave shady]

DONT EVER USE the words SEARS and HARDWARE STORE in the same sentance! LOL

yes there go past the SEARS APPLIANCE STORE keep on 30 for about 2 miles ish... see directions on the other thread.

[VTX Xtreme]

So how was the ride? Bet the weather was perfect! Sorry missed out. Still had great day with the girl's. Let me know next go around maybe I'll be able to make it.

[extreme vtx]

None of us made it. Dave Shady's grandmother had a heart attack, Auggie had to work and I didn't feel like it running solo. Would have been a very long day.

[VTX Xtreme]

Sorry to hear that. guess it just wasn't meant to be. Dave hope your grandmother is OK! Let her know that hearts and prayers go out to her. Not always easy time. Everyone take care and better luck next time. Is anyone going to Honda Homecoming?

[extreme vtx]

No ,but wish I could.

[dave shady]

I was very upset about missing the memorial. Maybe sometime soon we 4 can do one of our own to honor them in our area.

Gradma is going better amazingly,,, time will tell as far as damage to her mind and body....

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers
Dave

[Auggie]

Good to hear, we'll be thinking of her and praying for her improvement.

We missed you today, we'll get together again soon and do it up right. We needed a leader like you. Neither one of us wanted to lead so we almost ended up playing cards all day. :wink:

[dave shady]
