I probly won't make it this time. 
Wisconsin mc camping trip coming up
To any who might be interested. There is a mc camping trip I'll be attending. It is actually and ST-Owners forum STOC event (ST Owners Club). I'll be arriving at the Wisconsin Riverside Resort in Spring Green, WI (hope that link works for everyone) the afternoon (maybe by 3 pm) of Thursday, June 19 and staying through Sunday morning, June 22. Camping is paid to our host who then pays at the end of the event. We have 4 campsites to spread across. Just look for the line of mostly ST1300 bikes with some newer GW bikes and maybe one or two other makes, and one Blue Gray Metallic CTX1300 . I'll be camping in the same tent pictured in my Photo Gallery. Camping fee is $8/night. Free to stop by and visit.
dubbsrider, you might consider stopping by. We'll be just a day ride south of you. Most of the guys there ride up as far as Sparta and back during one of their day rides (either Friday or Saturday). If the lunch stops stay as they were the last 2 years there will be one lunch stop at the Log Cabin restaurant in Baraboo. I don't remember which day but will know as the time gets closer.
Don't remember who else might be in the area (or within a 2-3 hour ride). There seems to be a few members in WI or northern Ill (Shadowrider?). But let me know if you'll be by for a meet up and I'll be sure to be around the campsite. Or if preferred suggest a place to meet. If you want to camp, also let me know before and I'll be sure to look for you. Doesn't matter what day or how many days or hours but would love to see anyone here to make a connection. Doesn't matter what bike you have now either. Would be nice to see a few CTX1300 bikes at the campsite though.
BTW- I'll be planning to attend the Davis Motorcycle Rally also the weekend after Labor Day so that is another potential meet up event. I'll be posting about that one as the time get closer. Camping is $3/night in the city park and $20 for the weekend for the rally.

Considering my rusty camping skills and my getting-older-by-the-minute back, I'm actually looking at motel options in the area. I know I'm wimping out, but if I wanted to be uncomfortable I would have bought a crotch rocket...or a Harley.
Motels are welcome also. Never deny a guy his comfort.
There are a few who have stayed in motels in the area and then went riding with the group or individually as desired and then stayed to sit around the campfire at night. It's a good group of guys and you would be welcome.
Warning: one of the picnic tables, or at least half of one, is usually reserved for bottles of a few favorite beverages that all get passed around during evening campfire time. Some can be rather potent stuff

Remember what the "C" in "CTX" stands for. I have to be sure to uphold the designers' intentions, right?Motels are welcome also. Never deny a guy his comfort.

I would probably do something similar as far as activities. I am just getting back into group riding, though I used to do it (and M/C camping trips) quite a bit--25 years ago. Hanging out at the campfire on a nice summer night sounds like great fun. I just hope you and I aren't the outcasts of the group for being "traitors" to the ST product line!
As far as those "potent" beverages are concerned, they're all yours. I don't drink anything wilder than Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper. Or maybe a regular (gasp!) Cherry Coke if my blood sugar feels like it's getting low. On the surface I probably sound like a pretty boring guy, but hopefully I can surprise you!
Diet Coke guy here too. I just sit and watch the entertainment mount as the night goes along.
I have at times gone along with the group rides but prefer to ride my own way. Most of these guys are much more aggressive riders than I am. But they welcome me anyway. I like smaller groups or solo better (3 or less?). Usually I'll pick my own route and meet up with the group at the lunch stop of the day. There are a few riders who tend to just come for the camp out and just stay around watching over the tents and stuff all day and just go for meals with the group. I don't think not having a ST will matter. There are a number of other brand or model bikes represented here. Look forward to the meet up in person

Darn work...this sounds like it would be a good time!!!
