anyone in olathe, overlandpark, shawnee or around this area whants to have a meet?

I'm game. Be nice to meet some of the owners around JOCO.

yeah, but so far there is not a lot of interest

:ylsuper: north of the river 8's count?

I had managed to miss this thread until now.

I'm in the JOCO area. I'm all for getting together with other locals.

Hi.

I almost got mine out today since the 3 inches of ice on my driveway is mostly melted.

My freaking house faces North so it get's no sun on the front in the winter.

Im in, its going to be like 40 at the end of the week sun and mon lol.

I live on the Missouri side, but I work in OP. I've only owned my 04 since November, so I'm pretty new to the rotary thing. And being a chick, I never really thought about motor stuff before, but I am learning to take care of my new baby. I'd be up for a meet... maybe get some tips on keeping her running smooth.

Welcome! Since the weather is starting to pick up we def need a meet!

Any other KC people check in on the forum very often?

Not often as I would like.

Btw, did anyone else suffer any damage from last week's hailstorm? I seem to find new dings every day... *sigh* I've got two good ones on the hood and two on the roof, possibly more.

Hey welcome to the club! Tirminyl if you set up meet This tuesday looks good 70 and sunny!

Thanks for the welcome... Yes, Tuesday's weather is looking good... was planning to get the bike out that day! I actually got it out yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon. It's going to be a difficult summer having two toys to play with! =P

As for a meet, we should plan it a few weeks in advance, see if we can get the word out. I actually saw two 8's in the same day on Wednesday - a TiGray one and a Silver one. So I know they're out there!

Well wenever we do it i'm free on tuesdays and wednesdays maybe monday just let me know.

P.S. what kinda bike do you have?

I have a 2003 Kawasaki Ninja EX250. I got it last year as my very first bike, so I wanted something small and manageable. By summer's end, I had put over 3000 miles on it, and the top speed of 110 didn't seem as fast as I once thought. =P So I am thinking of upgrading to at least a 500, but I imagine I'll be putting most of my funds into the 8 for now, which means a bigger bike may have to wait till next year. Do you ride?

Pics of my bike: http://www.webgirldesigns.com/Personal/Gallery/BikeMay06/

I lived in Prairie Village, Leawood, and Mission for 30 years of my life - miss it - all my old friends are still there!

Did a little motto x years ago I looked into getting a busa I'm 6 foot 7' due to the fact I'm a big guy need a big bike, but when I sat on it wasn’t comfortable for me so I started looking a the new boulevard m109R from Suzuki that’s a sweet bike but haven’t got anything yet.

I might be able to meet somewhere around kc or in kansas as long as it's not too far out.

Pretty cool you ride webgrl. I would like to get a bike someday but its not in my immediate future.

Maybe we can get something together in April?

Oh yeah, this week's weather is perfect for riding. I rode in to work this morning and even at 7 am, it wasn't too cold. My brother got his bike going again (needed new tires), so I imagine I'll be on mine a lot. At least at 60 mpg, it makes up for what I lose in the 8!

An April meet sounds awesome. I would prefer a Saturday meet, but it sounds like rotaryfan04 prefers a weekday. What day works for you?

Anyone else checking in on this forum should chime in, too. I would like to get the ball rolling and start getting the word out. I'm finally ready to start doing some mods to the 8 and I'd like to see what everyone else has done.

I just started thinking....maybe we can do dinner sometime on the weeknight so Chris can make it and maybe we can plan for an all car meet at SMP with some Oklahoma Joes BBQ in April? Have everyone interested chip in for some BBQ and shelter? Hang out and eat?

Does that sound good?

Yep, I could do that. The first weekend in April is Easter, so should we shoot for the second Saturday, April 14th?

As for the weekday dinner, I play soccer on Wednesdays, so any other day besides that is good. Monday or Friday is my best bet, but I would be okay with Tue/Thur if it works better for other people. Chris - you wanna pick a date for that and let us know?

OT- What soccer team you play for?

My company sponsors our team. We ain't great, but we have fun. We play at All American Indoor Sports. That's actually where I saw the silver 8 last Wednesday. It had Missouri plates, which was unusual since AAIS is at 87th and Rosehill in Lenexa. Then again, I have MO plates, and I was there... =P

Cool. My roommate plays there as well and is on a co-ed team. Just curious if you were on his team as well.

Wednesday nights? What the name of his team?

Wednesdays. Team is Half n Half or something like that. Green shirts.

would be down for meet anytime. i have to work the second weekend
of april, but if the meet is around noon, i could stop by for a little while.
my mods will be all hooked up by then

Terminyl - looked up the team on the AAIS website - looks like they are in the other division of Wednesday coed, so we don't play them this session. Maybe next!

Noon meet works for me... Any objections to Saturday, April 14th, noon, at Shawnee Mission Park?

Yeah I work nights 6 to 6 Thursday, Friday, Saturday and I drive school busses for giggles and kicks in the mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday but Monday Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are my available times so if there is anyone ells with a week end job or that’s needs accommodations like me post it or lets just shoot for a Tuesday night Ill check the calendar and find a date later tonight and see if it fits everyone’s schedules, do you guys want it sometime this month or next? And suggestions on locations for dinner?
Chris

No work conflicts as of yet. I am up for anything.

Can we get a list of people coming so we can make reservations if needed?
Do you guys +gals want a sit down kind of restaurant like On the border, or something like that or like a Ice cream place?

Just add your name to the list and repost. Also give me some input on sooner or late so I can pick a night Thanks.

Chris

Chris, you wanna start a new thread for the weeknight meet and I'll start one for the Saturday meet? Just so people don't get confused about which one they're signing up for.

And as for the locale, some place like Buffalo Wild Wings would be cool.

Im good for any weeknight.

Ok guys and gals new threads have been started for the mokan week day and week end meets if you interested please see them for updates thanks.

Saw the silver 8 at soccer again last night. I actually pulled in at the same time as he did, so I told him to check the forum and meet up with us. Maybe we'll see him!

I don't know if us other Mazda owners are cool enough to hang out with the 8 crowd, but several of us in other Mz3/Mz6 forums has organized a mini meet tonight around 8:30-9:00 (whenever KU games ends). We're gathering @ the Sonic on 135th and Blackbob in Olathe. Probably headed to Incredibowl afterwards because I like bowling and beer is good.

If anyone is interested, hope to see you out!

I live in Lenexa, new owner of a copper red shinka. I'd be interested to check out some of your rides. Give me a shout sometime.

We just had a meet today - wish ya coulda made it. We'll probably have another in a couple months.
