Nice job slash! I'm going to have atleast 3-5 bikes going. When are you leaving? I'm planning Friday am. Leaving either from 355 & 80 New Lenox or Il 55 in Brookfield. Keep me posted.

Thanks,same here Bigdoghd-This is all based on leaving Friday am...

The2nd meeting place isat the Flying JTravel Plazaat the intersection of I80 and I39/51just North ofLa Salle and the plan is to roll out of there no later than12:30-I'll be planning my initialstart time from up here near Gurnee around that.

All in all that should give us time for a couple of stops along the way and get us to Effingham early enough to get to our rooms,clean up,hang out etc,etc...

Pugz I hear that......I'm going nuts. I had my shop porter wash and wax it on Saturday. I got tired of seeing it all dusty and didn't have time to do it myself. I'm still thinking of cutting out of hear in a week or so and see if I can get a few days in riding down south. Probably Fla.

Hey Slash, I'm not sure about the 11:00 time from La Salle for us Iowa guys. I am riding in from Des Moines and picking up a few along the way. That's a good4 hour drive not counting gas stops and picking up members along the way. We should pm and swap some phone numbers so we can keep in touch during the ride if needed.

We're going to bump the departure time out of LaSalle laterto 12:00 - Hope that helps the Iowa guys out and also makes it a bit easier for Southeast Wisconsin and Chicago area riders who want to leave with me from theGurnee/Grayslake location.

(I'll continue to update info in the first post of this thread)
