What's up fellas?  I'll be moving up to Elgin in a couple weeks.  I hope to have my bike back to health by then otherwise I may be recruiting...

I don't like to have to fill my car up more than once during the summer

What's all this business about Illinois?  Elign isn't Illinois, it's freaking CHICAGO an entirely different state!   

Get out of this thread so the lone downstate Illinoisian can sulk alone.   

I'm not in Cook Co. AND I'll be surrounded by corn fields, in my book, that's enough to disqualify it from being considered Chicago.  The defense rests...hahaha

Corn fields you say?  Out every window with no other houses in sight?  OK, maybe we'll let you in...   

Welcome JT.  I live in Naperville (which is a good ways from Elgin IMO) but let me know when you get back.  I've been looking for fellow GS riders in the area.

I'm Here in Bolingbrook, IL....anyone... 

Welcome aboard.  We had the Chicagoland thread going for a while but for some reason it fell off.  Glad to see someone revive an area post so hopefully others will chime in.  I've seen quite a few GSF's in my area (Naperville) but unfortunately all but one of them was going the opposite direction.  The one going in my direction (a blue 06 I believe) was stopped in traffic and I passed him making a right turn onto Ogden. 

Hey, is anyone interested in a Chicagoland GS500 ride?  I'm moving out of state at the end of the summer but would love to get together with some fellow GS'ers.  Maybe make a run down to Starved Rock or somewhere?

BTT, anyone looking for a solid local group of smart, safe riders to ride with, check out

Still the lone downstater.   

All alone....

I think I'll go crawl under a rock and cut myself. 

Hey guys, I live in Wheaton and work in Wood Dale.  I can't wait for some nice weather to get out there.  I'm actually perusing craigslist and the local dealers looking for something bigger (I really want a new CBR1000) but  I'll probably keep the GS as well.  I found a new place that is just starting to get together to ride locally.  Check it out.

I'm the the recent joiner for the gs.twin site asking for advice on the 04 GS500F purchase.  I live in Elgin, Illinois.  I wrote in  before asking if any one from the club is going to Cycleworld international show.  I plan on being there Sunday the 8th.  And again, I thank all of you for the replies and advice.

Sorry, no plans yet to go to the show.  Where is it?

What advice are you looking for?

BTT

Getting warmer finally...

Who's ready to get together and ride?

Howdy again all. I was last active here two years ago, around the time that I bought my GS. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a used SV650S, but I'd still be interested in a group ride. The GS is no longer insured, but I'd be willing to sport my GStwin t-shirt to fit in  .
