If you think you can, don't. Many things start with "I think I can," and end with "Ow!"

I'm from Evansville Indiana.  In what part of Illinois are you located?

Effingham, right smack in the middle of the state, maybe a little south. i know where evansville is. if you were to come to effingham, just head north till you reach I-70, then head west. Effingham is where I-70 and I-57 meet. or you can get on I-4, i think, and head west till you get to the US Route 45 exit, then zigzag north to effingham, but i think that way takes longer.

Peoria, eh... Never been there, but I think I know where it is.

Hey, Kasper, did you go to the Indy Motorcycle Expo?

I'm from Bedford, IN which in the southern part of the state

I'm in IL, barely.

I'm right on the IA/IL border in Moline, IL.

Thinking of selling because I never have anyone to ride with, so if you're at all in the area, drop me a line.

Edub, I bet there are some good roads around Dubuque. That is a nice area.

Did you say anyone FROM Illinois?  I grew up in Rockford.  Does that count?  I'm in Oklahoma now, but you won't let a little thing like, say, Missouri come between us will you?

Effingham huh?  That's about 30 miles from me.  I'm just south of Vandalia, IL.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Wow, some old thread never die.  Any good riding days left in lower Illinois? Are you guys the hardy types who ride as long as there's no ice on the ground?  I've done lower 30's (F( once or twice, and if you're willing to ride with lots of choke it works soon enough.  Probably not healthy all around.  --Mike D.
