Sundays RIde With the Birthday Boy: Stir Crazy

Matt, the Birthday Kid, checkin in with Father Time

Matt and I headed out Sunday morning to meet with the Sport Touring group. It started as a beautiful morning with blue skies. It did not end so well but I will explain later.

We rode to one of my favorite coffee joints, Stir Crazy, in Rochester Wisconsin (just north of Burlington). I have posted on this place before but figured it was worth a mention again. The owners are great and always love to see us. This is not one of those snooty chain places. It has more of that county relaxed feel. I will have to pictures from this inside next time I go up.

For a coffee meetup, this had to be one of the largest ones I have seen from just one group. We were in the range of 40 bikes or so. A lot of familiar faces with some new ones too. It is only going to get bigger. I took these pictures shortly after we arrived. I did not realize they would keep coming.

Before I get to the random pics, the return home was mixed with rain. For the most part, it felt like the gods was spitting on us. It would clear up than a few a minutes later, a little rain. Just when I thought we were clear, the clouds opened up on us a mile from home. I never realized how cold the rain was until I bought a motorcycle.


Hey, someone is stealing my bike. Oh wait, his shield is not cracked.

STN Pizza Meet

Last night, Bandit Brother Matt and I met up at Lou Malnati's in Buffalo Grove for the annual Sport-Touring.net (aka STN) winter meet up.

How about a piece of pie? Lou's is one of Chicago's world famous pizzerias.


This is one of our "hard core" riders. Rumor is this is his only mode of transportation. Way to get America green.
