My brother lives in Dundee, over by Ann Arbor. I live about 45 mins south of Coldwater in Indiana. We'd be down to ride with you guys.:woohoo:

Andy, sounds like some US12 cruisin' is in our future. I bet you know some other good rides in your area too. I know I know mine!

A US12 ride sounds good to me. After I get my bike back together and the bugs worked out it's on. My brother said he's up for riding with a group of KZ's. He's got a "frankenstein" bike. It's a '77 1000A frame with a '76 900 motor that's been punched out to a 1230,.435 cams, stage 2 ported head, V&H pipe, RS36's, and a 10" over swinger.

I'd be up for a ride! I'm in Ypsi (Ann arbor for all intents). Planning a ride down to tail of the dragon later this year if anyone is interested. Definately going to the blessing of the bikes in hell this year (didn't get to go last year do to finding out my sprocket was toast).

But yeah, hit me up if you guys want to do a ride!

Hello toocool, I might possibly go to blessing of the bikes as well. Seems a long way off right now.

Wow! Sean, looks like you are doing a great job getting the riders rallied. We are planning another ride around the lake but this time around Michigan only. Wisconsin doesn't have the nice scenic lakeside roads that Michigan has or the nice corners either. Gotta live for those incredible curves.
Was planning on camping and spending some time exploring instead of just riding straight through. Taking the wife, kids and dogs this time.

Hey Tom, Yeah its me. I saw your bike and figured it was you. I also see your following the VINTAGE RICE BURNERS site. Glad to have you, the guys in the group are a bunch of good guys. Hey Sean, I think you've got that Honda cafe racer with clubman bars and a buttstop seat. Well there's a few of those in our group. We should try getting a few KZ Riders and few Vintage Rice Burners together. We gotta do somthing, only 62 days until spring. C'mon lets ride. Jamie.
