when is the next meet up? Can anyone from the forum join?

I'm in IL. about 30 mins south of the border. I've yet to see another 919 on the road or talk to someone who has ridden/owns one.

Very fun ride today guys and girl. Was a nice mix of bikes in group. 13 hours and 450 miles later I'm back at home and all warmed up again.

The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. We'll have to start looking for a good start point. Probably be next year for the next meetup. Snow is already in the forecast.

I agree, it was a great day! A girl couldn't have asked for a better, more handsome bunch of guys to ride with! I'm looking forward to the next "official" ride but am hella digging the fact that 97af is just an hourish north of me! I plan on learning a LOT from him!

J,

Lemonhead and I are just over the border in Kenosha. Give me a shout some time when you have a free day and teh weather looks good. I don't have my 9er anymore but I can speak intelligently and kindly about one over a cup of coffee if that help.

If you guys do something before winter please post it up.
I'm about an hour south of the WI/IL border and am always up for a good weekend ride.

Third leg complete

266 miles for the day, for a total of 848 miles for the weekend. Definitely a record for me. My ass thanks you Corbin.

I got some video, but it's not all that exciting. From the start point for about an hour. I was hoping to see the turkey's I almost plastered on CTY M but I think the video cut out for a bit. It split it into 2 half hour sections.

Nice shots from a vid. Please don't tell me it's getting cold up that way already. That just means it's closing in on us.

Chris,
Your DVD of the ride is on its way. My Blu-ray burner took a dump so you've got a standard on the way. Still nice just not that "like looking out your window" quality. The orig file is almost 16 gig. Maybe I can put it on an SD card and send it out your way if you can manipulate it.
Just let me know.

Glad you northerners got together ! That looks more my "speed" if you will. Sorry I missed out. If we get too many more together, we might cause a scene

If it's 35 or better and the gravel can be gotten around (and I'm home), I ride.

might get me a suit this xmas.

I'll try not to take offense at Dewdrops appreciation of your rider over ours.
