Exclamation Chicago Crew Meet for May

Hey everyone, I'm working on a roadtrip for the Midwest crew. What do you guys think about meeting in the west suburbs of Chigago, and blasting south to I80, and heading east to Southbend, IN(about 120 miles from Schaumburg). From there, we ride North into the hills of Michigan, and ride west the Lake Michigan shore. There is a winery out there in Buchanon that we could tour, and eat lunch. After that, we could ride down to the Dunes, and take some pictures, maybe stop in Michigan City, and grab a slightly early dinner at a restaurant I know of down by the Lake. All in all, about 350 miles, with some highways, twisties out in the middle of nowhere, and some neat scenery. Any feedback?

It sounds like a great trip, although the troopers in Indiana are a rough crowd West Michigan does have some great smooth, open throttle roads!!!! Depending on timing, I'm interested

Ride Clean!

I would be MORE than willing to give any members 20% (or more depending which package you go with) off my detailing services! Please PM me if interested...I'm in the west burbs, about 20 minutes from Schaumburg. Or I guess you could go to the meet with a dirty car...

That's why we roll with V1s! Right now, I'm looking at May 18 or 25.

18th or 25th of May might work for me... If it's warm I usually give the whip up on the weekends and stay on the dinghy, worshoping the sun...
Glad you're protected with the V1, how do you like it?
I'm equiped with BEL (Fr and Rear w/laser block )

I had a K40 before and love the V, hands down a better piece. I had reservations about something mounted to my window, but it is much better. You actually see where the bogies are and how many of them.
