Default Hello Chicago Crew

I have been out of the corvette seen for a while. Purchased a new Harley Road King and I have been doing that more of lately. You guys know new toys take time.

like to say hello, johnny, jim, brad, frank, frank, tommy, greg, don

I'm not sure if I'm one of the Frank's listed (we have 5 or 6), but hi.

There's lots of things going on this summer. Jimmy knows where all the cruise nights are.

DAVE,

Hey BRO good to hear from you its been a long time! : Congrats on the new HARLEY ROAD KING and remember to be careful out there! You know this is my first season for a HARELY as i bought a 2002 Dyna Low Ryder which is a gas although I only drive her about 20 miles a week.

As you know vettes are probably the most invited and prevalent car at any cruise night so this nice long list should keep you busy (although I don't know the dates of any specific vette nights other than BLOOM GOLD on June 15, 16, 17 (hope to see you on Sat. the 17th)!

http://www.ccecorvair.com/cruisenights.htm

I am pretty much a permanent fixture on Monday nights at Westchester, Elmhurst on Weds, Downer Grove or ROlling Meadows on Friday and Lombard on Saturdays. If you spot a 1970 Dodge Charger that is green and black and looks like a hot wheel come by to shoot the sh it bud!

It seems like yesterday when I first met you at BYRON DRAGSTRIP in my old 98 C5 h/c roadster at the time and I ripped off my first high 11 sec. time slips and you were in either a red C4 or red C5 coupe (one of the two b/f you bought your c5 vert). Come think about it, i am almost certain that was in 2000 (7 summers ago)! That was a happy day for me for sure cracking into the 11s for the first time! MAN, time sure does FLY BY don't it

Hey Dave!

I was wondering where you've been! Hope all is well. Hope to see you at some events this year, whether it be with the Vette or the hog!

Dave,

Now I know you have good taste in cars AND bikes! POST SOME PICS!

Last time I saw you, you told me you were in the market, I’m glad you finally pulled the trigger on the Road King!

Let me know if you are up for any organized rides. We go on a bunch of them!

Too many toys, too short of a summer.
