Just got back from my trip up North. Went to UNO's Pizza downtown Chicago. If you go there do not park in the parking lot behind UNO's. Park in the lot accross the street on the corner. Reason why is UNO's will comp your parking from that location. They will not comp the parking lot behind them. We learned that the hard way.

We had a great trip. Little over 1100 miles and got to see a lot of cool stuff. Rained on us most of the way home from chicago yesterday but other than that weather was pretty good. Leave in a couple weeks to the smokies for more of a riding vs sight seeing trip.

Couple teaser pics

Just one area of bikes at bike night Thursday


Our bikes at museum


Bikes at Juneau Avenue

We ate at the restaurant since we were hungry and wasn't done at the museum. Everyone's food was good, it wasn't anything special but wasn't anything to complain about.

Sounds like a great trip.
I'd substitute the Lakefront tour for the Miller plant... but that's just me.

I worked for a Miller Distributer for 8 years so was a little more reason to go to it.

I would of liked to of done some of the other tours but we really only had the 1 full day there.

Museum, Miller Tour, and going down to the old plant took most of the day up. The one guy had to go down to Juneau and bump the wall. Said it was a tradition but he may of just been saying that to see if we would do it lol
