[beemerdons]

Good luck Greggie, stay away from Wheatie, he's you know, well, uh....straight!

Don, fixed it for you!

Can't wait. Breakfast place is all of a quarter mile away from where I am staying. Cold today, but clear. Went to a Blues bar in downtown Chicago last night. Good times.

Fairly warm ride out here. Don't think I am going to be so fortunate returning. I may have to make a stop in Hooterville for some hot chocolate or sumptin.

Having a great time out here. No bastard step-pappy around constantly harassing me!

Hey ya big gurl...When your getting close to here on your ride back, lemme know. If you're up for it, we can grab some food, or you can crash at my place if you need. We can go to the Marble Brewery and have some excellent home grown beers.

Well, while you two sort out your "date"...

...let me tell you I had a great time meeting those that showed up. Greg was there of course, Griff was there, TriggerT was there, Ed/MxVet was a surprise show...and a certain rider from Minnesota named Peter arrived unannounced. My son David and I arrived in a car as his bike was in the midst of repairs...and I didn't feel like warming up my bike for a 5 minute ride.

Had a great time with everybody.

Didn't see the WI or MI riders, but I don't blame them...they probably searched under SkooterG/Dolly/sheeplove...and found the pictures.

Great to hear that you Midwest Marauders had a good get together for breakfast! I heard it was 34F!

Wheatie, you can't separate HRZ from Skooty with an abalone iron, "Jaws of Life" or C-4 Explosives!

Sorry I didn't make it(not that I was missed). I got called into work last night at about 2:30am. After that there was no way I was getting up at 6:30 to make the trip down. Hope you all had a good time and maybe once spring comes we can organize a ride.

Oh boy was she ever a little cutie! She had me tongue-tied on my way out of there.

I have no way of downloading photos from my camera to a computer while I am on the road. So it will have to wait until I get back home. Should be leaving tomorrow morning. Looks like I'll be getting a bit wet.....

...well, enough about that little hostess.

Oh, you mean rain...unless you are going south and west you should be okay.

oops.

What if he's going west and south?

And about the hostess:

I'm hoping you bunch of mooks didn't just have her take a picture of yourselves. You should have gotten a picture of her...

I gotta watch the board closer. I should have made this. Glad to hear you guys had a good time!

Great trip to Chicago! Thanks Mark for organizing the breakfast. Good food and good peeps. Great seeing Griff again after so many years. Tim too! And how about that sly bastard from the twin cities who surprised us all with that long, cold ride down. For friggin breakfast! Definitely a great surprise seeing Peter, the 2011 Iron Butt Rally WINNER there! Except I forgot to get his friggin autograph! Yo Peter, you need to ride out to Arizona for breakfast so I can get that! It was truly a pleasure to meet WheatonFJR Jr. What a fine young man. Not sure how considering the source. :finger: I can't wait to hear about more father/son adventures.

I also forgot to get a photo of the hostess hottie. My brain wan't working too good around her. All I can say is WoW! Now I am too much an Old Fart for her, but what about WheatonFJR Jr.? Why wasn't he putting some moves on? I guess his old man was slowing him down?

So anyways, here are my photos:

Some of the gaggle arriving: Note the pretty colors of the changing leaves. A nice treat for this desert boy.

The group photo taken by the hostess hottie who actually touched my..........camera! I won't ever wash it again! :lol:

Food Porn:

And a certain Chicago-area FJR dude who apparently has joined me in the Cool Kids Club north of 200k but hasn't posted about it yet! :angry:

Hopefully, it won't be 6 years until I ride out again.

 

[dcarver]
