Weekend Event: Sunday Bike Ride (part 2)

La Grange General Store in Wisconsin

Holy Crap! If the weather cooperates, I just might be able to ride this Sunday. Is this an event? Well, not really. Here is the way it works.

As some of you know, I mostly ride with the great people from Sport-Touring.Net. It is a motorcycle forum with a section for us mid-westerners.

A rider posts up for a meet and ride. This usually comes in the question of, "who wants to meet for coffee at such and such a place?" If you can make it, great. If not, there will be plenty more.

We usually meet around 10AM. Stand around, kick tires and flap our gums. Then when someone gets bored, they suggest a ride to some unknown location. I am not really doing these meets any justice but you have to experience to get the feel for one.

This Sunday, it was suggested to meet at Full Moon at 176 and 41 at 10:00. Sounds like the plan is breakfast then head to LaGrange Wisconsin for ice cream at the General Store. (yeah, we are a tough BIG bunch).

From La Grange, you can catch the scenic Kettle Moraines scenic route. A very popular area for us riders due to the twisty roads.

We welcome all kind of riders but encourage you to ride at your own pace. For the record, we do not ride in any Harley parade formations. Just get out and ride. Visit the website or contact me for any questions. As you can tell, this is an informal event.

Not so Full Moon

Bandit Brother Matt and I were able to sneak away for a quick ride Sunday morning. It was one of the first real nice days we had with weather breaking the 60's. We went to the usual stompin' grounds at the Full Moon. I was surprised that there was not a higher turn out but an unusual amount of BMW's.

The above picture has two of my ex-coworkers Scotty and Sean. Sean traded in his sport bike for a Sportser. I don't get it. I am still scratching my head. I really hope your girlfriend is worth it even though there is not a spot for her to ride on( it has a solo seat for now). Hey Sean, hope you like lookin at my tail lights.

Since we were short on time, I talked Matt into Fratellos at 12 and 120. On the way there, we hit a lot of Sunday drivers. It would not be so bad but people driving way under the speed limit. That was a little annoying.

Other then that, I bought some new tires since I have a flat bald spot on the front. Decided to go with the Contintenal Road Attacks. Lookin forward for the shipment. I will let you know how they are after I break them in.

PS
Weather calls for rain, mix with snow this week. Blah!
