hmm......

Here's the ferry info:Milwaukee to Muskegon or
Manitowok to Ludington

1 car, 2 adults, round trip=$300 give or take afew pennies on either one. Not exactly cost effective. On the other hand, I really don't want to chance sitting unmoved in a traffic jam for extended periods of time in the V8. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

You Chicago/ Indiana doods: how far south do I have to go of Gary to avoid an 80% chance of getting stuck in stop and go traffic for hours on end?

Honestly its not bad depending on what time of day you hit that area. If you can hit that area after 9:30 am and before 3:30 pm you should (note I said should) be able to move throught there pretty pain free. It may be a little stop and go but once you get past the 294/94 interchange (torrence ave) its 3 lanes each way.

You could also try and work your way from Halsted to Throton - Lansing to Ridge Rd (aka RT 6) but I am not sure if Throton - Lansing road is open yet OR Halsted down to RT 30 then take either Cline or Kennedy AVe back up to 94. The down fall with both these other routes is all the traffice lights.

Don't make me kill you Garold. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Here's what I know bro. I have gone through that disaster area probably 10 times in each direction. I've gone through at times from 10:00 am through 11:30 pm. Each and every time I have gotten goatfuched. Heading to last year's MWC was quite memorable, getting stuck motionless for nearly 3 hours from 11:00 am until about 2:00. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Good thing the Silver Streak was on a trailer. Going home, I got boned for about 45 mins without moving, and that was at 10:00 pm. The V8 cools just fine, as long as I'm moving. Anything over 15 mins without moving would make me nervous. If I can take that risk out of the mix, it would make for a much more enjoyable trip.

I know it is a real crap shoot trying to get through there. The problem is construction is everywhere in that area. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I don't know maybe look at going through Chicago and take the skyway over to I80. You could then either stay on I80 (Indiana toll road) to I69 then to I94 or get off on I80 at Cline Ave and get back on I94. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

There is no real good way that doesn't either take you way out of your way OR has like a billion stop lights.

I may not be able to attend. My Aunt in Ontario is not doing well and its just a matter of time. When her time comes I will have to take Mom up there (we just got back from there on Monday). If I can't attend can I have my goodie bag shipped to me, I'll pay for it.

Option B - if need to, could I leave my car at someones place up there either before or after the MWC for a few days while we go to Canada?

Garold,
Sorry to hear that. At this time, all dinners are committed and paid for the banquet. We would mail you your event bag if you dont show but cant rebate you the $ now. If you make it and need to leave your 914, I can house it in my garage 20 minutes from the MWC venue. Hope you can still make it in person though. Pray for the best.

Thanks Hawk. My Aunt passed this morning at 4am. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

We are just waiting for details, but chances are I will be taking my Mom back up tomorrow. If this is the case I will be able to attend the MWC. If anything changes I will post here.

This is my first time out for a long drive with my 914. Any pointers on what to bring. Also is there going to be any time to wrench on the cars, my emergency brake doesn't work and I would like someone to help me fix it if it's easy.

Hi Guys,

Garold,
Sorry to hear about your Aunt passing away. Be sure to take care of family first. I am not sure if you will attend or not by the message. You asked about taking you to my (secrete) parts yard on Fri. Can't do it, we will have to talk about your part needs later. Hope everything works out & stay in touch.

Tom (Curvie)
Looking forward to seeing you. Been a long time.
BTW
Have you seen that "Grasshopper" yet??? You know the one you thought you saw?? Hee Hee.


Nickm1
Come & do whatever you want. This is a social event. We all like to hang around & give advise to the experts doing repairs.

Hey All,
I have a room reserved for Fri & Sat night at the motel (Best Western). I am going to cancell Fri night and keep it only for Saturday night. Anyone needing a place to flop can share my dbl. bed room.

Tom

Gaold,

Drive safe & see you at MWC.

I have this piece for U & will try to find others. It will polish up nicely.

Just back from Whitecrest Beach, Eastham, Cape Cod. Geez its hot here!
Registration UPDATE-
Just a hunch but, I think the OHIO 914teeners are trying to oust the Michigan guys as the State best represented at MWC 2005. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

That's surprising....there are only a hand-full of us on the board that are active...and most of the active ones aren't coming.

It'll be great to meet everyone!
