I have had my 'bird since March of '07 and have been trying to meet up with some fellow 'bird riders in the Chicagoland area ever since. I rode in the Chicagoland "ride for kids" rally yesterday and finally met two fellow 'bird riders. Both bikes were red '01 'birds. I met with Dan from Aurora and he had no idea about this site, so I told him all about it. Then I met with Will from Oswego that works for Fox Valley Cycles in Aurora. Dan used to own Will's bike at one time, traded for a Goldwing, then missed the 'bird too much and found another just like it. Will knew of this site but doesn't have alot of time to check out the site, but will try. Dan will check out the site as well and hopefully post up. It was nice to chat with these guys for the short time that we did. Would like to meet up with more 'bird riders in the Chicago area hopefully soon. Maybe get a Chicagoland 'bird riders only party somewhere sometime. What do you think Chicagoland 'birdies??? Cheers.

XXNUTZ I would like to do that and have been watching your ride posts. My riding windows are somewhat limited but I would like to get together for a ride at some point.

I got to meet a couple more 'bird riders tonight. I met Troy who has a '00 Titanium 'bird with beetle bags. He posts up on the 1100xx.org site. Then my ridin' buddy spotted another one close by and that was Joe with a '99 black 'bird that was stretched and slammed. Again, it's nice to finally meet more 'bird riders. All of us met up at Portillo's on Rt. 83 in Elmhurst, south of North Ave. where alot of bikes hang out every Wed. night weather permitting. Hope to meet up with more soon. Cheers. P.S. Strek, I posted a car/bike show on Aug. 23rd. at my school, maybe a good meeting place for us or some kind of a ride??

XXNUTZ. I saw that. I believe that I have a birthday party to go to that day. Let me check on that. Do you do the Portillos run often?

Aurora

Redd is in Milwaukee.

Hobicus is in Madison.

There are others.

Try Tuesday night bike night at Culvers at Hampton and 124th.

Logoman

There are plenty of riders in around Chicago and Milwaukee split between both forums. Check out the ride section on the other forum once in awhile and you may get lucky.

Seeing other 'Birds where I live is extremely rare. I've seen only a couple in the last few years and never got a chance to talk to them.

I've gone up to FUXXT in the Brooksville, FL area with a bunch of forum members and that was nice. Can't wait to get the 'Bird fixed so I can do it again.

I've only seen one other bird - a black '97 - and I passed on it to buy my Speed Triple. I'm actually glad I waited and bought the '02 through a friend of a friend.

Randyman1960.. You can try the MAP feature under the MEMBERS option on the top tool bar. You can pin your location to the MAP.

I had the highlight of my day. I was working in Lafayette, Indiana with a friend of mine and we happened across a titanium Bird parked in the downtown area. It is in pristine condition! I had to look up the owner and tracked him down in an adjacent building near the lot. Got to meet Mark. Last name withheld for obvious reasons. He didn't know about this fine forum so NOW he does!

It's been a while since I posted on this thread, actually forgot about it...but I have been meeting some fellow 'bird riders lately...met sushiman (gary) and outlawgibbs (caleb) back in May at the Little Angels run in Woodstock, they came down from Milwaukee. Then the wife and I met them again up in Milwaukee for the Indy Car race and had lunch with them. Caleb and his girlfriend joined us at the race. Then this past weekend I met and rode with compuw22c (Jeff) in the Freedom Run. He is the first 'bird rider I've ridden with so far. Jeff and I met another 'bird rider at the run, jazznhouseof6 (Bruce) that had a yellow '97. I've met a few others from the .org site as well. Redbird (Tim), Fasteddy (Ed) and Troy again. Looking forward to meeting more 'bird pilots. Kicking around the idea of getting some 'birds together and riding up to Wis. for WIXXT on Aug. 15th. There seems to be quite a few 'XX's in the Chicagoland and Southern Wis. area, we need to get some type of meeting and ride put together sometime if not WIXXT. Cheers.
