    It would be a good idea to get all the XJ owners together for a ride this summer I think. I figure there is enough of us to make an interesting run somewhere down along the St. Croix or down by Rochester? I've rode those roads down there quite a few time in the past. I ususally get down there (I'm in St. Cloud) every month for a ride with a bunch that meets on Dodd Road in Mendota heights.
    I'd like to get the locations of all the area XJ riders and then decide on a central location to meet. Any suggestions for riding routes are welcome. I've met alot of interesting/cool people when helping to get a bunch together for our monthly rides. It started out to be mostly Hondas, and now it has bloomed to all makes of bikes, so everyone is welcome, no matter what make or style of bike you ride.
    So if any one is interested, PM me with your location, (you can include your phone number so we can talk, but that is your choice)
    I will start a list of riders and we can decide on a meeting place and destination. Let's get together and ride!! >PD<

    I should be able to make it, depending on time. My wife has a 85 Maxim X and if it is OK I would like to come with but I ride a V-Rod. We are from New Ulm Mn.

    Your more than welcome to join us! We don't discriminate about brands. As long as you ride is what's important. I think it may be atleast a couple weeks before I will want to head down your way however. We'll have to see what happens with the weather between now and then. PD

    That sounds awesome. I'm living in St Michael for the time being and I work at the airport. Unfortunately, my bike is in the Detroit area until I can do some work on it and ride it out. I'm excited to see how this goes. Hopefully later on in the summer you can do it again and I can tag along.

    Re: Central Minnesota run

    We're setting up our first ride for Saturday,April 26th If the weather agrees with us. I will ride down to our meeting place in Mendota Heights, so I will be leaving St. Cloud at around 5:30 to get down there in time.
    I meet at the McDonalds on Dodd Road & 110. I will post a couple days before the meet to confirm the ride. PD

    Minnesota Riders:
    The ride is on for Saturday. If you want to join in a a nice all day ride (well, most of the day anyways) we will be leaving around 8:30. The meeting place is at the McDonalds on Dodd Road (CR #49) and 110 intersction in Mendota Heights. Just take the Dodd Road exit off of 494 and go about a mile (north) or so and you'll see a McDonalds on the right (just before 110 intersection)
    We wil be riding down along the river and into Wisconsin. One of the other riders has a GPS on his bike and it familiar witht hte area, so he will pick a route for us. We'll be stopping for gas every 100 miles or so (I have a small tank) and we will be stopping to eat somewhere along the way.
    Don't be afraid to make suggestions on where to go or where to eat. We always like new ideas!

    So...chime in so we have a hea count and we'll wait for you. If you have a cell phone, you can PM me with your number, so we can keep in touch incase you run late (we will wait for you then)
    If anyone want my cell phone number, PM me and I will post it there for you.
    If the weather isn't in our favor, we can call and re-schedule the ride for another day. (Hopefully, the rain will be gone by then)
    So, we'll see you Saturday! PD
