I haven't seen anyone in Champaign area yet with another Stryker. Most likely I'll be riding with my old lady on the back, but if you see us give us a shout out.

Welcome from Elgin, IL. Haven't seen any up here for a year now either, although we've certainly seen a bump in new members from The Land of Lincoln. Who knows? Maybe we'll start bumping into each other soon ;)

Hope so! That would be great. Any good Diners you have up there that would be a good rest stop?

Gurnee area here and when I spoke to the local dealer, he said he's sold 5 Strykers in past year, but 2 were from south side of city. So I know there are probably 3 around this area :)


Welcome BTW.

Plainfield, IL. Approximately 40 miles sw of Chicago and I haven't seen any on the road since I bought mine last June. I have 2 dealers nearby so you would think I would see some soon.

Loving the Illinois representation. Too bad more aren't near Champaign! Terrified to ride it in Chicago traffic, not going to lie ><.

I totally agree. I work downtown in Chicago and the weather is definitely different than in the suburbs where I live. Sometimes by the lake it can be a difference of 10 degrees.

That is north of Chicago. I work in Chicago, but live in Plainfield. Plainfield is about 45 minues southwest from Chicago south on I-55.

Hey all, I'm from Chicago, O'Haire area, what's up? How about that 80 degree weather 2 weeks ago. I loved it. My hypercharger and adapter came in today so I'm taking my bike to the shop tomorrow. My mods will include: Vance and Hines black 2 into 2 big radius, black hyper charger with black adapter, power commander 5 with auto tuner, Low and Mean rear fender led, axel plate bracket and truwrapz fork led smoked. Guys........ can't wait to hear the sound of that new exhaust. I'll try to make a before and after video.

Lets hope for some more of those nice days soon. Not looking too promising right now. My bike is in the shop waiting to have the Cobra Swepts, Fi2000 PowrFlo and ISO grips installed. I am also waiting for my delivery from L&M of my license plate mod. Hope you have more luck with the shop, mine just had several bikes come in this week, so it probably won't be ready until Tuesday.

wife and I took a beautiful ride out to Tuscola yesterday. She still wants a backrest mod installed, but other than that it was a beautiful ride.

Howdy from farm country, Triumph, IL. 100 miles southwest of Chicago. Saw my first stryker other than mine in this area last week, A kid and his dad were driving through from Batavia ILL. The kid had just bought a raven stryker like mine. Other than that I have never seen another one around here.
