Couple of years ago used to get quite a few rides together with Chicago area,North Western IL and Southern Wisconsin riders posting here in this section,still riding with some of those guys.

Sturgis ? Rode there last year,but hit it 2 weeks before the Rally,planning on doing it again this year the same way - Everything's open,a few people are starting to show up,just did it for the ride and to see the sights.Lodging prices are normal then too,but triple the rate or higher 2 weeks later.Plenty of crazy Rallys right here in the Midwest...

 

Northwest side

 

Aurora, IL here. Stuck in the worst area for good riding roads. Hate that I have to ride for a good 30 minutes until the crazy traffic dies down.

 

I grew up on in Aurora on Simms St, between 5th and Talma. Welcome to the forum BTW.

 

Morris (near Joliet).

Don't want to hyjack the thread, but the Blessing of the bikes in Bladwin Mi is a nice ride once you get out of the city May 15-16. I was also suppose to leave for Memphis in May on those same dates (not sure if I'm going yet), then black3 mentioned a ride to Shawnee I'd be game for that? Plusif you never rode with Black 3 before, he's a great guide. Then we have around the lake maybe 2nd week of June? We meed to pick something.

Also my son has a friend that owns a Holiday in in Countryside Ilinois great place for parking and a nice pool area. That could be a base area and we could do a ride from there out a long the Illinois River one and maybe Chicago the next or maybe out west to Geneva Illinois nice town and a few bars? The Effingham party organized by the forum was awesome. Oya there's a bar south of Kankakee in a town surrounded by corn fields anothe great distanation. Just some suggestions???

 

I agree, we do need to pick something and everything you listed sounds perfect. my schedule is extremely flexible so any ride we decide I can do.

 

Libertyville here.
