Everything is in the planning stage. The local/shorter cruise, lets call it the Fox River cruise, would be a round noon start. The Kettle Morane cruise is around 100 mi long and would take several hours. We would probably meet in Whitewater, WI and leave in the late morning. Speeds are only regulated by the law or your morality. We would then gather at a eating/drinking establishment at the end in Elkhart Lake, WI area.
Since this is so late in the season, we can even create a rain out date for the next weekend if we have bad weather.

Not sure if I will make the cruise or not. There is an autobahn track day that day that I might end up wanting to attend.

Oh.My.God.

I'm sorry folks, but we will not be able to make the fall cruise on September 27th because we will be getting married that day.

I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up for good anniversary presents in the future!

(how can you forget your own wedding date?!?!?)

Anyone got a Verizon/ATT wireless card in their laptop? I could bring a web cam and we could stream the meets.

There is a counterweight on the shifter mech. It gets a bit more of a mechanical feel when removed.

There is a meet scheduled for this Saturday, but I know RSD wanted to change locations because of a change in ownership in the place it was scheduled for. If there is enough interest, I will schedule a Portillos meet, or a meet at another location if someone has a good idea for one.

I won't be able to make a 4:00 meet. It wouldn't be until 7 or later that I will be able to attend.
Car should be back by Saturday.

The problem is I'm working on Saturday and I don't know when I will be getting out. You really shouldn't depend on me being able to be there at any certain time. If someone sets up a meet and I'm not working, I'll be there.

Doesn't seem like a whole lot of interest. I'm going to say let's just cancel this weekend's meet and shoot for another time.
