Chicago area FJR riders: Pizza and Bevs in February 2013

[0Face]

Who Me?

I've never hugged anyone who didn't need one. You should have seen how sad he was before the hug. Now he can't get that 0face induced grin off his commie mug.

Is he laughing...or is that a look of pain? Still trying to figure that out. Either way TriggerT, Marty's waiting for ya!

Pain? I'm always gentle with first timers.

Wow, seems so far out. Be there if I can, probably Mrs Bullet as well.

Cool!

Mrs. BlueBullet is wise...chaperone duty?

That would be awesome!

Bump/reminder

Posted this on Riders too. I'll shoot out an email reminder to the group list in a week or so.

Might make it, might bring someone, hope to make it!

Nice.

 

[BlindMan]

Going to try to attend also.

Going to try to attend also.

Sure you will...haven't seen you since this event.

I forget...why are you called the Blindman?

 

[BlindMan]

I got the nickname due to my uncanny ability to spot road hazards, speed traps, and broad sides of barns. BTW, does the Village Tavern have a big sign out front?

I've never been there. Good question.

We're going there because Alex/cougar8000 likes the place and is handing out free stuff to all who gather .

Just kidding about the Alex handing out free stuff part.

SOLD to wheatonFJR

And in addition to the free stuff from Alex (jk), I have a Harbor Freight motorcycle tire changer that I might bring along if anyone is interested in such a gizmo. I would like $50 for it and the shipping would be unreasonable, that's why I would bring it. I have added nylon blocks to the original steel blocks so the wheel doesn't get scratched during changing. I have also cut down the stand to make it easier to work on the tire. I have also changed the position of the bead breaker to be on top of the tire, kinda like those fancy NoMar changers. Only the tire changer and stand is for sale. If anyone is interested, pm me for pictures. thx

Hell for $50...I'm on THAT!

The Yelp reviews are good.

I would never trust a yelp review ever since I found out how they do business. It turns out if you post a good review yelp will suppress that review and only show bad reviews until that place pays them advertising money. I call that extortion, pretty sleazy in my book.

 

[wheatonFJR]

bump...meetup on Saturday.

Alex is buying...(I think)

 

[Murph]

If I were 2000 miles closer, I'd be there. I miss this cast of characters.

Holy Crap!

When the fook did you move?!!!

Last time we rode...it was AR in 2009 and we rode through this...(your photo)

 

[Murph]

What a great memory! Lousy weather that day but I had a blast anyway.

Work relocated me to the Seattle area a year ago. It's a great part of the country but I still miss being near SW Wisconsin, SE Ohio, and (thanks to you introducing me to the area) northern Arkansas. I've noted the October Hooterville ride in my calendar and want to figure out a way to fit it into my schedule. In the meantime, although I won't be in Schaumburg this saturday, I'll hoist my own Pacific Northwest craft beer for you guys!

 

[wheatonFJR]

Well, we'll be sure to make a toast to the ******* who moved and didn't tell us...then we'll toast another one to you.

Have fun on those Northwet roads...and say "hi" to George/escapefjrtist for me.
