Kirk, The National BRAG renewal process must be (or was) screwed up. I received my personalized renewal request from BRAG in the mail a little early, but didn't think too much about it. I used the enclosed mailing envelope to send in my renewal and payment, only to have the US Post Office return it to me due to improper postage. It turns out the pre-printed mailing envelope was addressed to BRAG with a Canadian address and I didn't even notice. The US Post Office returned it to me requesting international postage. I ended up getting the US address from the website, and have received everything correctly. Maybe your second renewal notice included the Canadian BRAG return address. |

With the weather threatening to get nice, I'm facing the temptation again to ride to work (Downtown / Chicago Loop). Any advice or dissent on parking? Thanks. |

midknyte- where are you looking to park downtown? i park around wells/congress. most lots will give you a motorcycle price (usually half of the car price). |

this is a very cool tool for finding city parking lots: http://chicagoparkingmap.com still tough to find a monthly motorcycle spot [without paying FULL car price] up michigan ave, near tribune tower. |

Just a reminder about the Chapter Meeting tomorrow night. Also an FYI on the Aug. 28th TrackDay, we are definitely committed to that date now. If your interested in attending bring your checkbooks tomorrow, I already have a couple of confirmed spots and it looks like this one will be a early sellout also. See ya tomorrow, Sam |

Bomber- Would like to be at your garage day but all of the officers will be in Milwaukee for "training" April 21 & 22. Any chance of Garage Day being Sunday the 23rd? |

Greg, as a matter of fact, I'm doing some take-home work and taxes now so that I can play tomorrow. I'm thinking of riding for a while on Sunday, like 2-3 hours in the early afternoon. I'm up for anything. |

Kirk, if you end up doing Sheridan Road, let me know if there are any new construction and/or road hazards along the route. I'm wanting to get up that way soon and would appreciate the feedback. Greg and I will be meeting 11:30am Sunday 4/9/06 (hey that's tomorrow) at Gas City on Lemont Road about 1 mile south of I-55. We plan to ride for 1-2 hours in that general area. We've got some fun roads to hit. Anyone is welcome to meet us there at 11:30am if you want to join. |

Kirk, we'll gladly screw up your bike any day of the week! I suppose you want it washed, too. :-) How was your ride along Sheridan Road yesterday? |
Paladin

Never made the ride. I will at least give you guys the s100 to wash it for me. You guys can even borrow it too. |
