gotcha. yeah was wondering if you were from the opencarry.org site with that remark. i haven't been there much either lately. still keep an eye on the important info though.
anyways, we'll have to get together and do some riding. we're starting to get a pretty decent group of bikes going here in cudahy. you can almost guarrantee that at any week night there are at least 2-4 of us riding, and upwards to 6 or more on the weekends.
OK, you guys have to set a few days aside next year in July. The 4th annual Midwest Motorcycle Rally in La Crosse WI. I will post the info once they open the web site. I was there last year, great time.
Hope this finds all you in my original state doing good. I'm originally from Burlington, WI Home of the Nestles Factory, yum, I still remember catching that chocolate smell on a cool fall morning covering the city. I miss that.
Greetings from a Vulcan rider here in Eau Claire. We lived near Kenosha (Pleasant Prairie) 10 years ago and took the opportunity to move back to this part of the state. Very much enjoy the weekend rides along the Mississippi river on both the Wisconsin and Minnesota side.
Hey guys, I'm from Ellsworth, WI about 40 min. SE of Minn./St. Paul. ksmnet, my wife & I used to come thru Iron River every weekend to snowmobile in U.P. Sold sleds, bought 09 1700 Nomad
I'll try and keep an eye out for ya. Although, I spend most of my time in Madison, WI where I work. Only get home on weekends. But, when the weather is more predictable (without snow and ice) I'll be riding the bike back and forth. Probably won't be until April.
I was able to get out for about 30 minutes yesterday. Went for about an hour ride today - about 40 miles. Stopped at the local ski area to check it out. I'm going skiing on Tuesday. Darned if I didn't find a newer BMW with large sidecar, and an old Moto Guzzi Eldorado there. The guy with the Bimmer told me about his buddy down at the lower lot with the Guzzi. He had his skis strapped sideways behind the seat on the bike. The guy with the Bimmer brought a couple of kids in the sidecar, and put a couple of snowboards and a pair of skis in the trunk of the sidecar.
As I was leaving the place - about 1/2 mile away, I was kicking myself for not taking a pic. I turned around and went back, but they had already left. Oh well, next time I guess.
Hello all from Salem,WI
Motorcycle Rally sounds interesting.
Just a purchase a 08 1600 nomad.
Can't wait to ride it.
Still at the dealer.
Think I go get it this week.
Well, I got out yesterday for a 100 mi. trip. My good friend Jim just got a 09 900 Classic LT and just had to try it out. Still haven't got the ECU replaced but the 1700 Nomad ran great with the Tri Ovals on! Even got better fuel milage! Before Tri Ovals-34.2 avg. After Tri Ovals-38.4 avg. Spring has sprung!!
In case anyones interested theres a MC rally in La Crosse this summer. Geared toward import cruisers but everyone is welcomed. Its mid July. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can post some more info
The admin of the event are still making the web site, should be up in a few days. The rally is July 21 - 24. The main hotel for the group is the Settle Inn.
yeah post some info. i'll be over that way from the 6-10 or something like that already, and i'm looking to put on some decent miles again this year. so as long as i can get enough gas money, i'll try to make every ride i can.
New to this forum. Live in Franklin. Currently riding a 2009 Vstar 950 tourer, but looking into a 1700 Nomad. Won't know for sure, going to test drive one tomorrow. If I like it, I'll probably be selling my 950 tourer.
