Kokomo Ride November 7, 2009




This was one of the last rides for 2009. Six brave souls met in Kokomo, Indiana for lunch. You are probably wondering why Kokomo? Why not Kokomo? Have you ever been there? It was a nice town to visit. I did not know that Kokomo has a diverse population. We saw brothers on the golf course there. Have you ever heard of Tavis Smiley? Kokomo is his hometown. Kokomo is home to several car component parts facilities. It is also home of Delphi which seems to be a main employer. The restaurant that we had lunch at was Frittatas which had a nice and inexpensive menu. Thanks to Erskine for finding Frittatas....

Erskine (1400 GTR)drove up from Lexington, KY, Ron (K 1200 GT)drove down from Novi, MI, Bert (ST 1300), Mallory (VTX 1800), Q (CBR 600) and me (K1200RS) drove in from Chicago. It was a nice day, better ride, and great fellowship. It was approximately a 500 mile round trip for the Chicago Crew. I want to thank everyone who was able to go on the trip. We need to do lunch like this more often.

I know the riding season for most of us is short now. I am sure that here in Chicago we will be getting our first measurable snowfall soon. It has been great riding with you guys this year. As always ride safe and thank your spouses or significant others for giving you the time to ride.

Enjoy life, ride safe and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! Jp

  1. Erskine rode all the way up from Kentucky? Oh, why am I surprised. Looks like you all fun, wish I could have been there. Its mid-November and I'm still riding.
