I'll create a new thread and see if it piques some interest for our area.

Paul's picking up his bike at 10:00. I'm sure he won't be done signing the paperwork until 10:15 or so. There's a little coffee shop in Edgebrook, aptly named Edgebrook Coffee Shop. We could meet there at maybe 8:45 or 9:00, eat quick, and head to Villa Park. A non-highway route would get us from Edgebrook to the Harley place in 45 minutes or a little less. Probably 1/2 hour or so if we hopped on 90 and 294 for parts of the journey.

Hi,
So we meet at 120 W North Ave, Villa Park, IL 60181 at 10:15 am Saturday the 20th in the morning.

You seem to have great idea about what to see and where to join the 66 road so I will just follow you.

I will send to you my phone number by private message.

I will not be able to make it this weekend with you guys.

Paul, if you're looking for something to do on Sunday, in Villa Park, there's a Chicago Norton Owner's Club Motorcycle Show located here

Have a good ride guys.

Stops at:

McCook Quarry

Route 66 Tour In: https://goo.gl/maps/x82P5piMYcE2
Meandering route roughly parallel to (sometimes on) some of the various versions of The Mother Road, concluding at Dell Rheas's Chicken Basket for dinner. http://www.chickenbasket.com/

Exact route and all stops therein are subject to time, weather, and road construction considerations.

Plenty of room for additional CB1100 riders. Respond here if you are interested in joining our international traveler and me for the day.

This will be great!

Thank you for planning this!

Generous, MTC. I hope you both have a great ride.

Got the route set. Invited a few local riders. At least one has accepted. Slight problem.
90% chance of rain on Saturday afternoon. Will monitor weather app and report back Thursday.

If they are as accurate as our weather terrorists you might as well go for it because " the most accurate weather" down here bats about 25% if they are lucky.

Wow! 25% is not very accurate, which in this case is very good The ferret

lol yesterday the WT (Weather Terrorists) said it was only going to rain north and west of the city. I live south and east of the city. I got rained on 3 separate times on yesterdays ride.

Raining so hard today not sure I am going to get out. Not Louisianna hard but flash flood warnings hard in my county.
