Crewwolfy Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I've seen a handful of VFRs in the area, a pristine red 5G in Uptown, a yellow riding through Wicker Park, and a RWB in Arlington Heights. Any of you guys on here? Truly rare to see one on the streets, so I always get a little excited when I do. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a 2nd generation up near my place in Des Plaines, but only when I'm in my car go figure. Either way, very few of us out there. Even fewer at the Autobahn on my first track day this past weekend. There were two of us though; a bright red one and me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredMertz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Any further plans for this June 10 ride? I'm in Evanston on a yellow 2000. Do any of you guys do the Full Moon on Sunday mornings in North Chicago - I'm usually there early AM and then ride up into Wisc from there with a small group on a variety of bikes. Would be interested in doing a VFR day there or somewhere in Chicagoland sometime. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewwolfy Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm teaching moto classes Sunday mornings for the next few weeks. But I'll definitely try to make it out to Full Moon one of these weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ashok Posted September 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm a new VFR owner in downtown Chicago. Anyone have any route ideas? The best I know of is Sheridan Road from Evanston going north past Lake Forest. I do that quite often on weekends and weeknights. Anyone care to join?

Huntoar Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ashok you should ride out west, there are lots of fun routes to take. the ride from I-90 to randell road then west down route 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Ashok Posted May 8, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thanks for tip. Looks like around Galena, IL the roads get a bit interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewwolfy Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah the trip TO route 20 is quite boring. Once you get there, it gets much better. I'd recommend not going after heavy rain though; the road from Galena to Savannah was flooded and closed off. :( As for routes in the city.. not so much.. Nothing's going to beat that Sheridan squiggle. That said, I'm a motorcycle instructor, and our school offers an intermediate course. In addition to learning stuff, the last 2-3 hours is basically an autocross track. 12 bikes max, huge parking lot, experienced instructors and a good variety of bikes; watching an UltraGlide navigate a slalom is fooking awesome.

VFR4Lee Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nothing's going to beat that Sheridan squiggle. I remember that seemed to be the one and only twisty bit anywhere around when I lived in Rogers Park in the 80's. Got my XS750 stuck up against a guard rail there one day. Case guard stuck under rail, suspension compressed. Could have been real ugly, but turned out OK. Leg undamaged. So, I remember it well. You need to visit ElLay, we have thousands of mo betta turns than that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
