We're meeting at Jackie's Restaurant in Gas City, now. Same time--7:00 AM on Saturdays and 11:30 AM on Wednesdays.
Only five of us, yesterday, at lunch -July 6th, 2011. Four of us rode to Wabash, after lunch, and visited the Wabash County Historical Museum. One of the reasons I wanted to go there is Brant's (Wabash Harley Davidson dealer) has a display of old motorcycles there in the museum. It's a nice museum considering how small it is. Here's a link: http://wabashmuseum.org/
After the museum, we rode out east of Wabash looking for the Canonball Race Track. The track was a "big deal" back in the 30's and 40's as many races were held there. It's now called "The Cannonball Motorcycle Club" and they race dirt bikes and four-wheelers.

We found it without too much difficulty but there was a "No Trespassing " sign at the entrance so we turned around in the driveway and left. Some of us turned around in the gravel with more difficulties than others! :)
Next, I found the Hanging_Rock_National_Natural_Landmark along the Wabash River. We got off the bikes and sat in the shade in a wooden deck-like structure that's right on the river. It is very peaceful there in a pretty setting. We didn't see a "hanging rock" there, but it was nice place.
I tried to find a McDonald's, on my GPS, near Huntington, with no success, so we rode to "The Country Post Inn" on the north side of Huntington and had coffee and pie. As it was after 3:00PM we rode on home.
What a nice ride! I really enjoyed myself and I hope the other three riders did, too. No camera today so no pictures.
Here's what our ride looked like:
At lunch today were Billy Niverson (who, along with Charlie, put me on the trail of a cheap cell phone deal), Charlie Thomas, John Nave (who, I think , fell in love with an old truck we saw at the Wabash Museum), Art Adrianson (who's suffering from a bad back and can't ride), and myself, Larry Davis.
I rode 96.8 miles on my new 2011 Honda CBR250R bike.
