    Let's get together again and ride. It's been a while and I'm itching to go. We can meet at our regular spot (McDonalds on Dodd Road and 110 in Mendota Heights)
    Reply if your interested and let's see if we can't get all the members from around here to meet and ride. I've gotten a bit side tracked this summer and haven't ridden much lately, so it's about time to rev the dust outa my exhaust pipes now! >PD<

    I'd like to go, if the date fits in my schedule. It would be nice to see some other Maxims and what you may have done to them, and it should be fun to just ride too. :)

    Dammit, I can't make it now. I have a customer coming to pick up his bike I was working on. The plus side is $300 in my pocket!!!
    I'll have to re-schedule the ride for next weekend. >PD<

    I am still working on getting my bike dialed in. At least my gas mileage is back to normal. Couldn't afford to go on a ride getting 16mpg.

    Hey, let me know if you guys go. I have my kids and I owe one of them a ride.

    Plus it looks to be a fabulous weekend.

    OK, I'll add you to the list then. It looks like we're going to have a good turn out by all the replies on both forums. Latest count is 11+ with some bringing other riders along, so this could get BIG!

    UPDATE:

    I better make it official. We're leaving McDonalds, on Dodd road and 110 in Mendota Heights at 8AM sharp on Saturday, May 16th.
    Most of us get there early and have coffee and a bite to eat if you want to join us. We will ride out of the parking lot at 8 AM then.
    Here's a map of the meeting location:

    May 16? That works out well for me.

    I have the weekend off as I have my kids.

    So, I will be there. Either with or without one of my kids.

    Hopefully, I will have a hot babe on the back. And if it is my daughter, you guys had better leave her alone as she is only 12.

    Man, I am really looking for a good ride.

    So, count me and my XJ. Or perhaps my CB if I have it fixed.

    And, I may even see if I my brother wants to come along on his Honda Vt1100C2. He is due for a long ride.

    OK Dan,
    Your on the list then.
    ANY bikes are welcome by the way. We don't care what you ride. There are several Honda Shadow riders coming (the other forum I posted this ride on) There'll be Yamahas, Hondas, Triumphs, etc. so BRING IT! >PD<

    We don't have a clue where we're going, but I know we'll get there! LOL
    Some of the guys we ride with are more familiar with the roads down there, so we'll just follow them. We always find some interesting roads, so I'm not too concerned about it. The further south and east you go, the better it gets. As long as we stop for lunch.

    Heading down around Lake Pepin is always a fun ride. And there are usually a lot of bikes doing the same thing.

    Dan,

    Did you bet new tires yet? I was wondering if you bought from midwest cycle. I Just remember you had the wrong back tire.

    I got a new rear tire from someone on craig's list. Got it installed and it works great.

    Now, my front fork is leaking so I have to fix that. But i still ride it.

    If you need tires, check on Craig's List.
