Just wondering how many CBR riders we have in the Chicagoland area. Typically I usualy see groups of gixxers around, not too many red riders.

Im NW burbs...Fox Lake, Wauconda ,Lake Zurich Area...looks like our season is over tho...maybe in spring we can see who is still here..and ride a few...AMA is first week of June...a great time..but will post to this board of all local rides..and the such..anyone else do the Q101 ride this year?

No i didnt go on the q101 ride i planned on going then i heard about all the squids that were going so i figured i was better off riding around the forest preserves. I heard it was a feasco though.

Its was a bit crowded at first and then of course we got wet goin down 290 at 90mph thru the new tolling system...LOL... but all in all it was a great run from where i stood but there a few many people at Chicago Cycle that didnt make the ride and were just there for the free swag...oh well...ill ride it again next year if it happens...nothing more AWESOME than 500 plus sportbikes barreling down the expwy its was like a mad swarm of bees....LOL...

When is this ride???? How haven't I ever heard of it??..... Oh and if you make your way out to the west 'burbs you'll find me out on my white ( for now) Hurricane

welcome to cbrforum....whereabouts in the chicagoland area are ya!

Northwest side here

rockford il here, 07 600rr

N'west burbs here [8D]

btw anyone in the area have tire changing equip and/or stands they're selling/willing to borrow?

I'll probably get about 1-1.5k out of the tires on there now, but since they're a lil' over 4yrs old don't want to ride 'em too long.... btw is the "rule of thumb" 5k for rear and 10k for front? or just replace both at the same time?

It really depends on the tire and the rider. Some tires can take more abuse than othersand some riders can give more abuse than others. Dont waste your money if you dont need the tires yet.

94 F2 downers grove/woodridge...anyone in the area want to ride sometime pm me. i know like one person that rides and he lost his license lol.

You guys dont forget to ride up to the Dells on May 17th, Ffingers i know you had better be coming ;) See the summer meet thread here in the Midwest section for more details.

ugh...TK...i can't make it...i have already expressed how pissed i am about it....on the plus side, i am going on vacation with my wife to mexico for that week...so it was the dells or mexico and you know which one won...lol....if it could have just been the weekend before, or or even the weekend after, i would have been there but alas...no can do...

we'll get together at some point though....i have a friend in green bay and i am up in the dells fairly regularly...just have to bring the bike up some of those times! :D

Oh yea i remember seeing that now, i definatly dont blame ya on that choice. Yea next time ya come up pm me, even if ya dont bring the bike i'll catch ya a beer or something.

DEFINITELY....my in-laws have a place up by the dells...Packwaukee, WI...don't know if you know it...but i am up there at least 6-10 times a year soo.....

i told my wife i was going to ride the bike up one of these days so we'll see...

Hey dude, old Elmwood Parker here. You ever take the bike down to Madison St? I never see any bikes besides my own down there, thought it was odd.

Never checked it out, but it's like 2 miles from me. You go? I know you posted this like a year ago. . .

brookfield checking in, just picked up my black F3 the other day.

Ha. 31st west is an ok ride from there, not a lot of lights, higher speeds. Rarely see a cop at night. try taking LaGrange south, then 95th west. You get into some really open territory there.

Checking in, just got my bike a few days ago. Skokie, Northbrook, Highland Park, Glencoe, area is where I am.

Nice area to ride. My GF's up there. I ride from her place to Chain O Lakes all the time.

You ever take it downtown? She said she saw a bike that looked just like mine, but had all the plastics missing.

Nice, we should ride sometime :)

Unfortunately that wasn't me that she saw. Check out this thread and you'll understand why. Maybe you could provide some insight?

Unfortunately you have confirmed this for me :( . Hey, I still have my permit so I can definitely ride still. Just gotta find someone to ride with.
