Just got home from meeting Nogard, his wife and SouthSide Stryker. We had lunch and Midtown Pub in Manteno. It was great meeting with everyone. Now I can say I have seen other Strykers while riding.

Here are a couple pictures.

First picture from left to right - SouthSide Stryker, J4patrice, Nogard & wife (Amanda). 3 Copper Strykers 8)
2nd picture - had to get a picture of my hubby (in the background) and his Roadliner.

That would have been great. We will do another one later. Next time we will keep it posted for a couple weeks maybe then we can get some more riders.

It was great to meet you guys. Hopefully we can get a better turn out next time.

 

[mkohnen]

[galo8]

Having three copper Stryker's in a row is all too funny. Too bad everyone isn't spread out all over the US or we could see how many copper Strykers (and Strykers in general) we could get at one place. Last weekend we had to drive out to Anne Arbor MI, so considering we are in PA, we were a lot closer to you all...but we were in a truck and horse trailer and not the bikes!

Hopefully we can get some more Stryker gatherings.

Amanda and I had such a blast meeting all 3 of you! Thank you so much for driving down from Chicago!!

Things I learned today: I need a windshield to help with the Interstate Driving. My jacket is too big for Interstate. Meeting 2 other Stryker Riders is a bad idea when your bike is almost stock, and theirs looks way cooler . j4patrice pipes sound amazing.... need to save up cash haha..

It was pretty cool that they were all copper strykers lined up . Even the Police had to stop and make sure everything was ok!

I think it was 175 miles round trip. That was the farthest Amanda and I have ridden on the Stryker, and while i was riding i hit the 2k mile mark on the bike. My shoulders were actually sore from the long of a ride, and MAN you should see the sun burn i have hahahah.

Not sure how much farther we would have gone at the bikes current state, but after a windshield and maybe a new seat.. who knows? StrykerJan has us beat doing 4500 in 3 weeks!! I can't even imagine that.

I think the only item on my entire bike that everyone seemed to want, was the forward controls!! I took a few jelious shots of both their bikes, so i know what to buy next!!

And don't forget to remind Amanda about your birthday and anniversary. Maybe you will get that "hotties on a Stryker" photo shoot after all. Remind Amanda, if I can do it, then she can too.

When are we doing this again!?! Any excuse to get away from Champaign, and take the ladies out for a spin.

Maybe this fall?

That would be great, maybe we can get more riders. 8)

that would be great fujums. The more the merrier.

We can always schedule one for September? The 1st one was pretty small event, just ride 100+ miles, have dinner, and be envious of Patrice's mods . It was nice and casual. If we ended up getting more and more.. we would have to make an event out of it . ****, maybe even cruise around a bit.

 

[biggtimber]

I'd be up for one in Sept. Maybe meet in Elgin and head west.
