Geneseo is about two hours from Joilet. You are just at the edge of Chicago? Can hardley wait to get back on the road. I started to pull it out and ride the other day but chickened out.
I'm near I55 and I80. We typically head southwest when we ride, towards the Starved Rock area.
My bike is apart right now. I sent the exhaust in to be ceramic coated. I also installed a Thunder Mfg. air kit and Power Commander V. Now I just need some warmer weather so I can start tuning it.
Geneseo, IL, Just took the Classic 1500 out for a spin. It's 40 degrees and4:30 pm. Was just going around the block and only had tennis shoes, light jacket, and a doo rag. Ended up riding about 10 miles. Wasn't bad. If I had had my full face helment, long johns, I could have stayed on the bike all day. First time I've had it out this year. Won't be long !!!!!!! Warm weather is comming.
P.S. You know, I did have a pair of jeans on also. I guess a person would look kind of funny, if he only had tennis shoes, light jacket and a doo rag on. What a Kodak moment that would be !!!
Checking in from Buffalo Grove. I ride a VTX 1800-R. My wife is looking to "upgrade" to a 900 Classic (currently a VLX 600). Just looking for the right deal.
Anyone hear anything good/bad about Woodfield Powersports. I know they have an F rating at the BBB. Seemed like nice people when talking with them. Any input would be great.

I bought my wife's helmet from them. And I had my front wheel rebalanced at their service department. OK I guess.
I tried to sell them my Suzuki 250 last year when looking to upgrade to the Vulcan. They low-balled it, so I ended up selling it on CL instead, but I guess other dealers are no different.
Hey all. Just left the Vulcan train and wound up with a Concours C10 - old style. Between St Charles and Sycamore. Great roads and little traffic out here. Like going to starved rock, DuBuque, Dixon / Oregon on the IL river. Don't go East unless I have to.
Usually ride alone or with my wife or kids. Would be glad to connect for a duo or group ride.
Checking in from Freeport. I ride mostly in southwest Wisconsin, northwest Illinois, and Iowa. I really need to explore southern Illinois. PM if you're up in this neck of the woods!
