Welcome Bob (xb12r) and Bob (xb9r)! It great to have new blood and rides in the club. Thanks for the interest, and look forward to your participation. Is the end near for us tubers??? (hell, mine is already gone). Big Karl and I were tentatively planning a weekend trip for 21-22 August, but are now interested in Peoria races that weekend. Karl also knows some decent (non-superslab) routes. I will be contacting Desmo (aka Erlin) to see about riding and/or meeting for the races. I will post further info here after we talk in case there are others that may be interested in all or part of the plans.   Sams Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 06:16 pm:        FYI, The date that I had on the calendar at WindyCityBrag.com for Speedy's next race at Blackhawk was in error. It showed the races as being on the same weekend as Peoria when in actuality it is the next weekend Aug28-29. I've corrected that on the website and will try not to let it happen again, I think Bomber was the one who gave me the erroneous info. Sam Scolastico Illinois H-D/Buell 1301 S. Harlem Ave. Berwyn, IL. 60402 708 788 1300 http://www.ilharley.com Sam@ilharley.com   Desmo Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 08:18 pm:        Just want to make a correction on the meeting place for the Peoria TT Aug 22. The name of the truckstop is called R-Place not RJ's, sorry. It is located in the north east corner of I-80 and RT-47. Hope to see you there, Erlin erlin3@aol.com   Coolice Posted on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 08:30 pm:        What route you guys takin down? I'm plannin to go and it would be fun to ride in with a group of Buells! And I'll have my gps on the tankbag....   Fly Posted on Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - 02:09 pm:        Here is a little more info for anyone contemplating the Peoria TT weekend 21-22 August 2004. **** Saturday, 21 August ***** Parade starts lining up at 8 a.m and leaves Peoria Motorcycle Club grounds at 10 am for the downtown river front area. Entry fee of $5 includes downtown gate Bike show and downtown events from 10:30 a.m. to midnight Foghat - on Stage at 10:30 p.m. **** Sunday, 22 August **** Bring the entire Family to Peoria's natural racing amphitheater Gates open at 8 a.m. Racing starts at 2 p.m. Tickets $15 advance or $20 at the gate children under 12 free with an adult concessions on grounds See http://www.peoriatt.net/ for more details.

See http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=US&addtohistory=&searc htab=address&searchtype=address&address=&city=peoria&state=il&zipcode=&search=++ Search++ for more details. I think most people who have expressed an interest on this post plan on riding there and back on Sunday. That works for me. Is anyone planning on arriving Saturday? Regarding route, I would hate to do super-slab both ways if it could be avoided. Perhaps super-slab there, then meander back on some nice/fun roads (or visavis). What are your thoughts (be nice, now}?   Paladin Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2004 - 12:02 pm:        Foghat rules!!!!!!!!!!   Sams Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2004 - 04:25 pm:        This is what can happen if you sit on the couch too long and don't get up and go for a ride.

Meet at I-80 & RT-47 (Morris) at 8:00am on Sunday, Aug 22. Name of truck stop is R-PLACE, located on NE corner. We will likely eat breakfast here. 2. Take RT-6 (or likely backroads along south side of river) west to Ottawa. 3. Take RT-71 southwest to RT-26 in Hennepin. 4. South on RT-26 to Peoria along EAST side of Illinois River. Roads along #2 above will be fast sweepers and some twisties. Roads along #3 above will be fun as we twist through Starved Rock area. Road along #4 will be scenic, easy going sweepers. The return trip will be played by ear. Current weather forecast for Sunday, Aug 22 is 82 high/59 low, sunny, 20% change of precipitation (early AM only). Look'n good.

Let me just say that it was Awsome!   Mikej Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 02:17 pm:        Brent, Did you stay in town or one of the main tent cities, or outside of the masses? Thinking of going there next year just for grins.   Brentx1 Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 02:58 pm:        Mike, we stayed in Rapid City, about 20 miles from the Mahem. It was perfect. I am looking forward to maybe going next year if there is enough interest.   Sams Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 03:15 pm:        I was wondering how you guys would feel about rescheduling next weeks meeting? I'm thinking of taking an extended weekend for the holiday and would like to take next Thurs. and Fri off. We could do it this week or the week after next (9-9)? Let me know if we can work something out. Thanks, Sam Sam Scolastico Illinois H-D/Buell 1301 S.

Stop by our pits and say hi to Speedy while your there. Look for the Illinois H-D/Kiesow Racing Buell XB9R #522 Heck, if you want to, volunteer to lend him a hand in the pits, he could always use some extra help. You might even get a free beer and snawsauge out of the deal! Sam Scolastico Illinois H-D/Buell 1301 S.

I'll run a meeting on either date, just let me know.   Fly Posted on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 - 05:52 pm:        Brent, it sounds like you had too much fun in Sturgis.
