Speed 3,292 Report post Posted January 16 JJ and I are planning on going. We're leaving Friday afternoon (around 2:30-3) and returning probably Saturday night. I may have Yousef and Michele too but not sure at the moment. Please post up if you would like to go. We can figure out cars, meetings spots...etc. We will stay Friday night at the Comfort Suites O'Hare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclesailor 290 Report post Posted January 20 I seriously considered the Show.But I guess not this year. The underling reason is I'll will have Platelet Rich Plasma treatment to both knees this week performed by Blue Tail Medical and the show is done the road. I'm instructed to gradually return to normal activity. Physical exercise and walking will hopefully regenerate the tissue. I WILL BE READY TO RIDE,weather permitting.

Definitely not late. We have two rooms. You can PM Terry if you guys want to share one. JJ is driving so we need to figure out pick up sequence also.

Actually, if I have the camper back we can take that and ride altogether if you want to join us on the ride up. It's currently at Beyerly for some recalls.

Speed 3,292 Report post Posted January 27 But HP and Torque? And the 3 cylinder sounds so good I have not even changed the exhaust. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogpark 3,769 Report post Posted January 28 The smoothness of the inline 4 is what attracts me. I've ridden both and the smooth operation without much of a noticeable difference in performance plus the taller stance and comfy seat are attractive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speed 3,292 Report post Posted January 28 It looks like I can pick up the camper Saturday morning so we should be good to go 👍. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjester 2,047 Report post Posted January 28 How early can or does everyone want to head out on the trip? I've been considering taking all of Friday off so we can head out earlier. Right now I'm planning on taking a half day off but, if you all want to leave earlier I'll take the whole day and we can head out in the morning.
