1:10pm spotted a red MC with custom center stripes on the way home
at Waukegan/Rt60 in Lake Bluff. You were behind my black
Legacy wagon heading south on Waukegan and we turned right
at Rt60 (kennedy). i went on 94 south while you kept going west.

it was at this location: http://www.lfsc.com/

if you're a Griot's customer you probably got invited via email; if not,
you can register here: http://www.griotsgarage.com/index.jsp?subPage=17

they were also accepting walk-ins so it's not members only or anything
like that. my wife and son also tagged along.

He's got the personalized plate and the CMMC sticker on the driverside window. Ask him about the sport bike driver he gave a ride to on the Dragon
