Default Thanks to all the great people here

Our Midwest meet in Savanna was over the top. Met and befriended an amazing group. Everyone was genuinely awesome. Can't say it enough. I thought my wife was recording the audio when we were playing but unfortunately she didn't. If anyone has any video please pm me or post it. Just want to say that anyone that wants to do similar in your area do not hesitate. I can't say how great it was to meet everyone who attended and how much fun it was. Here is a group photo and a photo and yooperhog and I with our trophies that cpbedor so generously made. Just want to share with the forum how great of a group we have, especially once you meet in person.

Thank you to Slye for putting together this great idea. Even though it was a short trip, it was definitely worth it. It was great to put faces with names, meet some great guys and talk audio the entire time. Hope we can all meet again, not to mention the beautiful riding areas.

Hate I missed it!! Had other graduation commitments. But I'll damn sure make the next one! Congrats to Slye and Yooperhog! These systems always sound better when you hear them in person. VIds don't do em justice. East, West and South Next?

Here's all the pics I've got from the meetup.

Really was a great group of guys (and wives that joined the party) I wish we didn't have to compress everything into a day and a half and we would have had some more time to really enjoy the roads in that area. Very good times for sure, I hope we can do it again down the road.

I have to agree with Slye, it was a great time with an amazing group of good dudes! My expectations were exceeded, what could be better then a great group of guys talking about their passions...bikes and audio! I also have to say that everybody checked their ego's at the door, which made for a very pleasant experience! I would also like to give Chris Pbedor kudos for the idea of using Boom speakers as trophies! Chris's sled, IMHO, had the best sounding system, but disqualified himself from the competition (unbeknownst to me since I voted for Chris...oops)..sorry Yoop...great job Chris! I just had to put this out there for anybody who wasn't there and did not here these bikes in person...again this is just my opinion..although The Yooper and Slye, also had great sounding systems! Peace out bros!

It was great to finally put some faces with the names.
The wife and I had a great time.

I would like to throw a THANK.YOU to Slye for setting this all up and to.MOTO MIKE for leading the way on the scenic curvey route up to Galena.

There were some really good sounding systems on the sleds that were there. I just wish I would have had more than 4 or 5 hrs along with some road time on tuning my system. But there is always next year.

Wish I could've been there, definitely in for the next one. Ended up frying one of my lid speakers on the little trip me and the wife took Saturday. Sounds like you guys had just as bad of wind.

It was a great time and well worth the long ride to get there. It was great to put faces with names and finally hear the quality of these setups in person as opposed to headphones and YouTube. I look forward to the next get together. I do not look forward to the reduction in my savings account based on all the future upgrades. Thanks again Slye for putting this together as well as helping me troubleshoot and unf**k my setup.
