    Giving this another try. We had a lot of storms with lots of rain so i bet all the stuff from winter is off the roads.

    We should do this!

    ohh, we shovel the winter stuff and rake the fall stuff. thats how we do it in MN, of course I own a wrx and my wife owns an outback, I don't shovel my drive way... ever.

    ....cause I'm not a ***** who doesn't drive in the winter stuff.

    gawd, why can't I live in the hustle and bustle of the metro area? with all the other suby guys and gals? Why am I stuck in this paradise know to many as St. Cloud, filled with all the splender of being so remote to the greater metro area?

    You're welcome to mix in with my tour on August 10th. We'll have about 30 cars, including a few exotics (Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ford GT, Porsche GT3).

    I just recently discovered a bunch of twisty roads over by the Grove (cottage grove) near Afton St Park ... they go alongside the river, probably to Stillwater, maybe even further. I will go check it out one of these days. It seems a good time, plus there are plenty of beaches and places to stop along the way. The only problem is that some of the little bridges are being worked on and are down to 1 lane with lights signalling which side gets to go first :(

    You cant put your finger on it, like a 250 ninja.


    Its not the fastest, or the best looking, but somehow its still one of the coolest bikes ever made, I cant explain it.

    true. Kawasaki made that bike since mid 80's and its still made to this day with very minimal changes. Its the cheapest 500cc bike you can buy from a trusted manufacturer and it gets great mpg and is quite reliable.

    It's taken care of already Taras. Go with them on their Fun Run! Huge variety of cars and great guys.

    If you try to get a Fun Run together, make sure you have someone experienced involved. These runs are a great time, but things can happen and you don't want to be responsible for it if it does. Much better to have people that know the routes and areas leading the group.

    I know, thats why i am not trying to be the organizer, just trying to get people excited and get the people who know the route to lead.

    I will try to go with that group, but its a few weeks away.
