Well last month just sucked for most riding. Everyone ok from the Tornados yesterday? I had 2 different sets of sirens going off in about an hour stretch yesterday.(between 3:30 - 4:30)
Illinois here
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.

I live in the McHenry Illinois area, Met one forum member that lives close by and drove past a second one but didn't have a chance to meet him. I'm on the lookout for Strykers in the area.
I haven't even seen one on the road yet. My hubby and I are talking about riding up to the Fox Lake area sometime soon (when weather permits), maybe going to Freddie's. If we do I will let you know, maybe we can meet. We live about 2 hrs south in Plainfield near I-55 and I-80.Twisted said:I live in the McHenry Illinois area, Met one forum member that lives close by and drove past a second one but didn't have a chance to meet him.

Anyone ever been to Doyles in Richmond Ill.? Got some great food and fantastic wings. Outs right on Hy 12.
Never been there. I just had to look it up on mapquest. I see it is up by the WI border. Hope some of us IL riders can get together someday.SmokenJOE said:Anyone ever been to Doyles in Richmond Ill.? Got some great food and fantastic wings. Outs right on Hy 12.
I really wish I was going to be around this weekend, since it looks like it will be great weather. But I am going to Louisville, KY to the KY Derby. Party weekend! I am a little upset, since I won't get to ride this weekend. Maybe Monday when I am still off from work. I might even get a little ride in tomorrow before my hubby gets home.

Agree. Showing Tstorms all weekend for Champaign area. I'd love to meet up with all the forum members in Illinois... .just not in Chicago!
Cool let me know, I live about 30 minutes if even from Fox Lake. I work second shift pretty much six days a week so my availability is pretty sucky. Sundays are my only day off usually.j4patrice said:I haven't even seen one on the road yet.

I agree, I'm not a fan of the Chicago traffic. I don't think i would even attempt to ride there, People are crazy thereNogard said:Agree. Showing Tstorms all weekend for Champaign area. I'd love to meet up with all the forum members in Illinois... .just not in Chicago!
I live here and totally agree how crazy they are. I can say that, because I am not from IL. ;D I am from VA. I would be up for riding south some day. Maybe we can meet somewhere in between. The hubby and I have been looking for places to ride because we don't ride into the city. We like to cruise and take back roads.Twisted said:I agree, I'm not a fan of the Chicago traffic.

47 or Route 66 goes up towards chicago I think. I've never taken 47 on the bike yet, i used to hate it due to all the slow traffic and semis... but a stryker cruise could be enjoyable .
.Hello from St. Charles , Ill - i bought my Stryker a month ago and i haven't seen any Stryker on the street since then except i just saw one guy on the Styker today - West Chicago area ( IL 64 AND IL 59 ) and when i called to check if my license plates arrived yet - a guy said that they sold 2 Strykers in past month - so i am hoping to see more of these awesome bikes on the streets - cheers
I was up in that area just a couple weeks ago. I am in Plainfield and get up around the Naperville area a lot. I have had my bike since June 2011 and I still haven't seen another Stryker on the road yet. I know they are here, but they must be hiding.RobertM said:Hello from St. Charles , Ill - i bought my Stryker a month ago and i haven't seen any Stryker on the street since then except i just saw one guy on the Styker today - West Chicago area ( IL 64 AND IL 59 ) and when i called to check if my license plates arrived yet - a guy said that they sold 2 Strykers in past month - so i am hoping to see more of these awesome bikes on the streets - cheers
Hey Robert, I'm just over in Elgin. I've had my Raven for a little over a year and haven't seen anyone either. Maybe I'll run into you on Randall or 31 sometime.RobertM said:Hello from St. Charles , Ill - i bought my Stryker a month ago and i haven't seen any Stryker on the street since then except i just saw one guy on the Styker today - West Chicago area ( IL 64 AND IL 59 ) and when i called to check if my license plates arrived yet - a guy said that they sold 2 Strykers in past month - so i am hoping to see more of these awesome bikes on the streets - cheers

)))) hope to see you aroundI just bought my Copper a month ago up in Woodstock, and mostly ride on 14 to work and 23 to the parents. Maybe I'll take Randall or 31 and see you guys one of these days.
We seem to have a very decent amount of people in Illinois - aka Chicago. We should def have a rally of sorts this summer / fall?
I'm living in Oak Lawn on the southwest side of Chicago and just purchased my Stryker in Hodgkins a month ago. I haven't seen any other Strykers down here yet. Love the bike.
Newbie here from Lockport. The bike will be in my possession tomorrow, and I can't wait to get out on it. I just hope the Rain holds off.
