I thought ballons didn't care about ice.

Scalzitti · 01-16-2005, 08:50 PM

I go first on Friday afternoon. Start with a visit to the best hot dog stand in the country - Gene & Jude's on River Road - then get to the Rosemont NLT then 3:30 to start the line to go in. I get my tix online, so I don't have to stand in the ridiculously long line to buy tickets. I generally stay until either the crowds start to make me edgy or I've seen/done/bought everything that I came to see/do/buy. This year I'm looking to find a sweet deal an an Arai XD. I live in Lake Zurich. Anybody want to head down with me give me a shout.

I also kind of go on Saturday morning. The NIU MSF program has a breakfast for their instructors and range aids - free food, free parking and free raffle. I usually don't bother going into the show. Way too crowded for me on Saturday.

hey its life like butyl rubber, dont knock it till you try it.

mutineer · 01-17-2005, 06:57 AM

if the roads are dry and the temps better than today I may try to ride up, that gets me home after midnight so this is very tentative. I would be up for Friday, crownds make me nuts so Sat and Sun are out.

Any Indy types wanna ride to it?

The gerbings my wife bought me given me here before unknown cold weather courage.

me actually making it up there is a less than 50/50 proposition though - lots of work to catch up on

LIP · 01-17-2005, 08:42 AM

I will be heading down on Friday afternoon. Already got my tix. Hopefully will see some of you there. Anyone know the show well enough to pick a meeting spot for those of us that have not been formally introduced. I am looking forward to meeting Motohead... I believe his prose is almost as funny as Mutt's only he missed the timing, which is everything.

Skinner · 01-17-2005, 12:54 PM

Hey Lip, did you get me some tix?

LIP · 01-17-2005, 02:26 PM

Could only get one. Don't want to be greedy ya know. You can get them online according to Larry Scalzitti. I would go that route if I were you. You riding down with us?

Skinner · 01-17-2005, 03:42 PM

yes

Panic · 01-17-2005, 03:44 PM

I am going to the show. Prolly Friday as the crowds won't be as big. Went Saturday last year and it was really packed. How about meeting at the KTM booth next to the new 950SM

around 6ish? I'll be
