I'll be in no rush to get out of there, heck if I'm driving the land yacht 1800 miles round trip I want to get some "camping" time dammit! So Sunday departure for us as well!

Where exactly is Wardys? I want to try to make some plans to visit AJ at Service and if Troy's 09 Kawi arrives prior to departure I want to track down Jer and get the suspension done while I'm down there also.

As long as I can get near them in the land yacht I'd like to see Service and meet Jer. Met AJ at DW04 briefly when I helped load him on a quad to get him off the track :yikes:

Doug - FVOR is in Wedron, IL, Megacross is in Mendota, IL, Service is in Hammond, IN, and Jer's is in Bourbonnais, IL. From FVOR, Service is 1.5 hours east (IL/IN border). From Service, Jer's is an hour south-west (and about 1.5 hours north-west back to FVOR). And Megacross is a 25-30 minutes west of FVOR.

Thanks Nikki, sounds like a little more touring than I was hoping for, also didn't realize Megacross wasn't at FVOR. Sheesh is Gerhard a land baron or something? :laugh:

Guess if we plan it right we detour to Jer's on the way down and then hit Service on the way to FVOR, but I'll have to look at a map.

Nay. You come straight to FVOR, ride for three days, go to MegaX and race and/or photograph, then you give Nik your parts to give to AJ to give to Jer, then he ships them back north, lol!

Seriously, Service or Jer's is not really in the FVOR/MegaX area.

Then again, I have my drink on at the moment, so who knows...

I'd like to see that happen as well. I was curious to check out the Service Honda facility and if Troy's 09 arrives I'll have two sets of suspension for Jer to do, if it doesn't arrive I'll still have one set.

AJ was there last time. We can probably get him to show up again.

That 2-4 dates might work a lot better for us probably be Friday afternoon arrival and race megaX on Sat for Spider.

Bruce it might be easier for me to kidnap EG as we pass his shop

Doug can we expect you on Weds at least?

Dave something like that is the plan. Talking to Jer at the moment about getting some suspension done for Troy's 09 (if it's arrived) and for Troy's buddy David, if he can do it we will plan our arrival or departure around getting that done.

Keep me up to date if you guys aren't going to make it, at the very least Char and I will plan to spend at least one night in your area so we can hook up for dinner with you and Trudy.

I put a new set of 756s on the bike last night in anticipation of the event. Now I'll be able to go slow in confidence. ;)
