2013 Moonshine Lunch Run

[McFly]

Anyone going ot the Moonshine Lunch Run this year? I've been the last 2-years and it's a blast! 2011 about 10,000 riders! Last year was a bad weather year but 800 of us showed.

Where: Moonshine, IL

When: April 12 - 14

HQ: Days Inn Casey, IL

Info: www. moonshine-run.com

There are many other owner groups that show up and ride together... Honda ST, Concours, BMW...WHERE ARE THE FJR'S?

Would enjoy meeting a bunch of other FJR riders!

Be there!

Quite a few FJR's registered already. If you click on the Riders link, then Make it sorts by motorcycle brand.

Not signed up yet, but I'll probally go. It's a fun time; what you ride is less important than the fact you're there. Nice bike show too.

Probably ... I've been a few times including last years SS.

I'll be there again.

Signed up for the Curt Gran Memorial SS1K too.

I only live about 20 miles away from Moonshine and 10 miles away from Casey (I'm in Greenup, IL - exit 119 on I-70). I'm sure I could make it if I'm not working and it's not raining (or snowing or icy - you just never know around here in April). I don't have an FJR, yet anyway, but I have a Yamaha! It's an '07 FZ1.

Airboss what starting point did you pick for the SS1K?

Didn't feel like playing in the truck traffic on I-80 out of Chicago.

It's Moonshine...............so what's new about that?

Not going to worry about the weather yet. The forecasters still have a week to change their minds.

Hmm, you're right. Maybe I'll bring along my snow plow.

 

[Jeffs]

I plan on attending.

 

[BigOgre]

We're hoping to be there sometime Thursday, spend the day Friday and then head out after breakfast on Saturday. Any tips for these first-timers? Something not to miss? Anything to avoid?

 

[airboss]

Check at Moonshine HQ in Casey (the only motel in Casey)

Tim Yowl has been leading a local area ride on Fridays to lunch, points of interest, and if your lucky you'll get to ride the Tail 'O the Cow.

Pretty sure I'll be sleeping in Friday.

FYI: I drove through there on I-70 last week. They are starting road construction West of Casey

Scroll down to see the I-70 construction:
