I hear ya Mike! It seems like our "window of opportunity" is closing rapidly!!! Let's play it by ear and see.... We might get lucky.

It's unfortunate that Joe's accident kinda put the "brakes" on things (no pun intended.) Have you heard from him? How's he doing?

I don't mind the cold weather riding (30's - 40's) but snow, salt, sand in and around Chicagoland.....

I may be stupid but I'm not crazy!!! <wink>

Keep me posted.

Regards,
Ken

I hear ya... Glideridemike said he'd meet me in Lima, OH, so if someone in/near Woodstock can get it down to the Gary/Chesterton area, I could meet them.

Then, somehow, get it over to Lima, OH.

I think we've missed out weather window for the time being...

37 here right now and dropping. Forcast: 3-5" tonight in my area.

Regards,
Ken
