isn't there a season for those puppies yet? I'll strap the machete to the Z and lets go after it!

Vinnie and I will be leaving his place about 8. Ride safely, fellas.

Thundurburd · 09-12-2009, 06:41 PM

Ride safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do. Oh wait a minute, there was that one time I .... Umm ....

Never mind.

tricker · 09-12-2009, 08:48 PM

this kids leaving roch around 7:45.. too bad mike you live in BFE compared to the rest of us. Maybe next year i'll try to get something together for SW WI so that you don't have to drive a billion miles for it.

frostbitevinnie · 09-12-2009, 09:10 PM

We still need to put together a SW WI ride for the fall.

See y'all tomorrow.

Rickster · 09-12-2009, 10:09 PM

I think I'll sleep in, I shouldn't have to leave till about 9.

to Vinnie's comment about a SW Wi ride.

I'm also wanting to take a run up the U.P. to Copper Harbor for a day or four if anyone is interested.

Thundurburd · 09-12-2009, 10:28 PM

I still haven't made it over to SW WI myself and it's not that far for me. It was going to be a sure thing for me this year but as it turns out these tired old bones can't spend that much time on the bike.

Have a good ride.

Yup, maybe head down on a Saturday and come home Sunday kind of deal?

**Clint** · 09-13-2009, 08:09 AM

I'm kinda disappointed. No rain in the entire upper midwest, and a beautiful sunny day. Where's the adventure in that?

tricker · 09-13-2009, 08:14 AM

there were rumors of moose up north.. I swear if one of them gets in my way i'm going macguyver on it.... aka taking it down with a knife, a toothpick, a blade of grass and a banana peel

Rickster · 09-13-2009, 08:44 PM

I'm home safe & sound @ 7:30, 275 miles on the trip for me.

Thanks JD for a fun & spirited ride, I got kind of caught up with following you all day and turned East with you when we left Sunrise, than right after Adam and I turned around we started seeing cops everywhere, 4 of them before we got back to North Branch, I sure am glad we didn't see them earlier.

grandpatractor · 09-13-2009, 08:52 PM

I am home too.
I noticed you two changed directions there and I figured you were taking another route. I knew you wouldn't get lost.

I had a good time and I hope you all did too. That is one thing with this county, they probably had 2 LEOs on duty today at the most.

frostbitevinnie · 09-13-2009, 09:16 PM

I'm home. Something happened before Cambridge, accident I guess, lots of cops with brite and shiny lights.

**Clint** · 09-13-2009, 09:22 PM

Home and showered. Thanks to everyone, especially JD. What a great day. I'm beat.

Rick, I forgot to pay you for the hand thingies. Consider this my IOU for $20.

tricker · 09-13-2009, 10:02 PM

this kid is home.. I think I put on about 450ish miles today.. tired.. need beer..

I'll start working on it

frostbitevinnie · 09-14-2009, 08:59 AM

For me this was probably the best ride yet due to switching bikes. Thanks guys for that, it was a blast!

**Clint** · 09-14-2009, 10:35 AM

That was fun. I even enjoyed riding Vinnie's Winnebago.

frostbitevinnie · 09-14-2009, 11:46 AM

Did any of you "record" the ride on GPS. Just wondering, I would like the gpx. file for a future ride with Oksana. Shoulda just put mine on. DUH!!
