Allblack05S -- I slept all this morning.... Doubt you saw me!!!

I was hoping to bring the girlfriend with on Friday, er, I mean Saturday, but on second hand.... I'd just end up scaring the sh*t out of her, she'd be screaming, yelling and hitting me...
....And just found out she's gotta work a 18 hour day on Friday!!! I'm Free!!!!

If your suspension is still set up like it was on the way to Vegas you'll probably scare the ***** out of whoever is behind you too!

I think we will be enjoying a late night meal by midnight-ish

I have also put the finishing touches on the route and you will get to hear your pipe on Lower Wacker

Route is 60 miles long.

Got some bad news this morning....

I have to be in the city by 7pm TONIGHT.... That means I cant be in Arlington Hts at 11pm.

Have fun, but be safe, it's a little wet out there.

Keep the shiny side up!! [With the underbody lights on, I'm not sure what side that is]

The weather will be a risk, but we will stay within safe limits based on weather and still enjoy the ride and the late night meal. See Ya There.

Rich you may want to meet us at the Grill we should be there about 1230 tonight.

I HEARD you guys last night!!!!!!!

I was leaving our dinner meeting - for my late grandfather, and I heard the loudpipe!!!!

I was looking for the gang on lower wacker, but I must have missed you by just a couple seconds!! It put a smile on my face, and everyone else was TOTALLY confused. I just said, "That's where me and my MINI should have been at tonight!"

Thanks Speedycoop for leaving on the straightpipe, It made my night just a little bit more enjoyable..
