Default Memorial Day Run - 1st eva bob run.

Steel_Insane suggested that we create another thread to keep things simple the other one was starting to get a bit unmanageable. So this is a summary of what we have so far, feel free to chime in.

The attitude is not to exclude anyone, if you ride you are welcome to join.

Original thread:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...un-2009-a.html

Here's the Plan
We are planning to leave the friday before memorial day (May 22nd) and return on sunday or monday (yet to be determined).

Here are the currently tentative way points.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...870b7ec0d1ecd6

So far we have confirmed dealer support from City Limits HD in IL (thanks Joe!)

There are a dozen 2, 3, and 4 star hotels, 4-7 miles from Grinds Place in the Milwaukee area, ranging from $60-140. They're basically clustered in three spots. It was interesting getting directions from Grinds house to them. Three or four of them are in each cluster and the directions were different for each one. http://book.wisconsin-hotels.org/cit...000023579&t=mp

We are also considering creating a shirt, ideas are welcome.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Tentative Schedule:
Friday May 22nd
-East coasters start heading towards IL with the way points above with meeting in youngstown at around 12-1.

-At IL, BBQ and Cruise with Joe.

Saturday May 23rd
-Ride up to the Museum in the morning
-Miller Brewing Tour
-Party and camping at Grinds place

Sunday 24th
-Breakfast ride

-Start heading home or heading to IL and spend another night before heading back on the 25th.

Here is the updated list (Destination Milwaukee).

East Coast:

I have also created a google group so that we can pass information that we may not want the whole world to see, such as phone numbers and addresses: http://groups.google.com/group/memor...-bob-run?hl=en

posted this on the other thread... thought id post it here too

well it looks like we are gonna have more than just dyna coming... i know joe said he had some buddys on rockets, choppers, cafes... so maybe we just need to name it something not specific to the dyna fam or even HD... but i'm on the temp list so the final say should be from attendees.

i cant think of anything good at this point...maybe... something memorial day themed, milwaukee themed... i dont know though

brew city bound
crashin cream city----NOT USING ANYTHING WITH "CREAM"... BAD IDEA!!!
