The M2 is priced nice but I fell in love with the GT350R at the auto show.

Badass machine, I'm sure the markup is crazy on this now though.

I'm a fan of the m2. Great proportions

Route is done. So any thoughts on dates? Keep with the 5/1 or 5/15 or sometime in april, 4/10, 4/17, 4/24 I'm available.

The M2 is now listed on the BMWusa.com website.
- Start ur configurations!!

:happydance:

Trip is a go!!
 

I see nicer weather on the horizon. Hoping to do the day trip sometime this month.

I'd like to keep the group small. Route total comes in at about 550 miles round trip.

Date: TBD, dependent on attendees and weather
Meet time: 6:45am
Meet location : Road Ranger off of 90/20 - https://goo.gl/maps/z3jp1SHtay82
*Please park in the area in red - http://i.imgur.com/QP1nSW3.jpg
Pace: Slow in the straights, spirited in the corners.
Lunch: Red Robin, Dubuque, IA

Requirements: Be fueled (both you and car) and ready to go. I'd like to be on the road by 7am.

For those attending, the route is available in garmin's gdb or gpx format. West of rockford, reception is spotty. Verizon/att should have some coverage (at least voice). Data may be limited.

Stops are about every 1 1/2 - 2 hours, give or take. From past trips, fewer stops in the beginning, more stops as the day progresses. There will be lots of curves and corners. If your passenger gets carsick, they may want to sit this one out.

Tentative date 5/22 (this coming sunday)?

June 5th, rain date.

No bites for this Sunday so looks like June 5th it is. Lets hope it doesn't rain.

Route: Clockwise loop

Thread completely dead?

Nahh, I'm unemployed... So no computer time during the day. I'll be back soon. :-D

:) I hear you.

Sunday looks real good so far. Only 10-20% chance of rain in a few spots, mostly on the return leg.

Tomorrow is a go!

I probably won't be checking in until late tomorrow night. If you decide to come, send me a PM with your screen name and phone #.

Meet time is 0645 at the location indicated in the first post. As I used to say in the motorcycling forums, kickstands up at 0700.

So thinking of some future days. June 26 and July 10. Both are sundays, before and after july 4th. Thoughts?

This next run will be shorter and stay in IL.

In for updates. Would love to take part in a shorter trip!

July 10th is a go (assuming no major rains)

Date: 7-10-2016
