I can make a drive this weekend, my plans just got canceled. I was supposed to go out of town to a car show this weekend, but apparently my truck is not going to be ready. So I am up for a GTG this weekend for sure.

We have a couple here who are available Saturday morning. I'm not available Saturday night, but am available anytime during the day. If Ramsen (OriginalBlackCi) and Luke (swistun) don't have time for a drive, can someone suggest a spot for breakfast with a parking lot?

Ren Man · 06-18-2009, 07:03 AM

Todd add me to the list as well Ed - Brookfield Il. I wish I could make it out this Sat for breakfast but mabey next time.

ZQQM · 06-18-2009, 08:12 AM

Please add me to the list. Im usually up for a GTG or drive. Im located in Darien. ( actually only 5 minutes from that Culver's, I'll try to swing by on my way to dinner Saturday night ).

PhlypSide · 06-18-2009, 11:15 AM

Ren Man: I want to see pics from the trip!!!!

ZQQM: Sweet! I'll see if we can Exotic Hottie to the meet also (I think she's in that general locale).

PhlypSide · 06-18-2009, 11:16 AM

Moto44: I was just up in Kettle Moraine this past weekend (~300miler day on 2wheels). Freaking loved it. We're planning another go at it in July.

I can make breakfast this Saturday...I'll pass on any drive, the Porsche is down and that leaves me with the FJ.....not that I couldn't keep up with some of you in it.

So we need a place convenient to Chicago, Buffalo Grove, Palatine and Marengo?? Wow.......

Oh, and Aurora.

Moto44 · 06-18-2009, 02:11 PM

I'm in and willing to travel anywhere.

RacyTracy · 06-18-2009, 04:49 PM

I'm not coming up with any ideas yet, but I'm still thinking.......

Agreed, just give me the time and place to meet saturday morning.
Plypside, I should be able to make it to your meet also. You dont leave the culvers till about 8:30, right?

Moto44 · 06-19-2009, 04:56 AM

Richard Walkers makes great breakfast food! However, Schaumburg is a bit of a trek for the guys in downtown. It can also be pretty busy.

Is 9:00am okay? If anybody prefers earlier or later just say so.

Todd

swistun · 06-19-2009, 05:46 AM

Since I'll be traveling a lot between Chicago downtown and Madison, WI, can anyone suggest an Elise-friendly route?

My wife starts a program at U of W in 2 months or so.

Something just popped up on the radar for me this Sat, but had not been scheduled yet time wise. I'll do my best to make the morning. Anywhere.

Okay, unless someone has another suggestion let's call it 9:00am, Saturday June 20th at Richard Walker's in Schaumburg.

Northern Bacon Flap Jacks

Yes sir, real bacon stuffed into pancakes. A "Richard Daley" special. Topped with whipped butter

This thread is killin' me.

Ren Man · 06-19-2009, 09:34 PM
