The first Cars and Coffee meet of the year is on April 4th. Does anybody want to meet up and ride out to Chanhassen (weather permitting)? I propose meeting at the Caribou coffee on Shady Oak just off of Hwy 62.
If the participation is there I think this should be a monthly ride (Cars and Coffee is the first saturday of every month).

I will miss April as I am traveling. Next one for sure!!!!
We MUST make this a monthly ride......exotic iron on display to drool over!

"Weather permitting" indeed. Considering the current conditions, April 4 may be a bit premature for riding the Duc. [laugh]
[I like the Cars+Coffee event idea, though. I'd love to see the cool hardware that shows up there. [thumbsup]]
we're in luck according to the old farmers almanac
April 2009
Avg. Temperature: 46° (5° above avg.)
Apr. 1-4: Sunny, turning warm
Apr. 5-9: Snow, then sunny, warm
People usually start showing up around 9. So if we meet in Minnetonka at 9 we will be able to make a fashionable/loud entrance.

If you want loud I will have to ride the Milwaukee iron.
Hey rose_guy, I've got the loud part covered....you can take care of the fashionable. [cheeky]
Darn! - Instructor Workshop Day... Have fun!

Ha ...as always. :-X ;D Just kidding. I will try to make it to the event, especially if we are riding. Checked my shedule and I am off that day....so if I can get a kitchen pass I will be there.

So... people with cars meet for coffee and the plan is to take motorcycles there? Am I missing something?

Nope that's pretty much it. It's just a gathering of gear heads.
The idea is to bring exotic cars....
I figure Ducs count as exotic, just not cars. meh....close enough
I'm down if the weather is decent. Would be nice to meet some fellow Duc'ers
Where in Chanhassen is the event taking place?

It's at the AutoMotorPlex
Edit:
For those of you wondering what type of vehicles show up. If you pay attention at the 2:15 mark you see a strapping young lad on a fine italian machine. [roll]

I kind of expected to see you do a burnout.
Is this event always on the 1st Saturday of the of the month? Do they have it listed anywhere that I could reference?
It is always on the first saturday of the month. http://www.automotorplex.com/ (http://www.automotorplex.com/) this is where it takes place.
It's looking like there may be bad weather on saturday.
Is anyone still interested in going tomorrow morning?
I think I'll pass.
Count me in for next month though.
I'll make one of these this year, I swear. My day tomorrow is tied up with doing my valves, and belts on the battle monster :-\...it's almost race ready.
I'm going to be at the Caribou Coffee on Shady Oak just north of Hwy 62 at 9. If anyone comes that's great, if not I'll see everybody on monday at Grumpy's.
so anybody want to go May 2nd?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... is that a Saturday?
yep
they do it the first saturday of every month
I'm there. [thumbsup]
I'm in if the bike is running and the weather is decent.

Think I'll try and make it my introductory DMF ...thing. Sounds like fun. :P
Well Cars and Coffee is this saturday (May 2nd). It starts at 8am so I was thinking if we meet at Caribou on Shady Oak just off of Hwy 62 at 8:30. It should be a little warmer this month. Who's in? [moto]
I will try to make it, too.
That's the old cars and coffee location right?
I'll try and make it.
I can't make it this Sat. :(

I will try to get there, (Caribou). Looks like a fun time. The Delorean meet in August looks really cool.
Was moving all last night, and 8:30 is seeming a little scary now. I'll still head over, but a little later. I'll still introduce myself if I run into a group of ducati hooligans though. [coffee]
I plan on going,I;m only about a mile away from the AutoPlex.What time are you leaving from Caribou?If I get going early I will head over there or else I will see you at the AutoPlex
What I'm planning is meeting at Caribou at 8:30. We will leave promptly at 8:45 for the AutoMotorPlex. If you want [coffee] at Caribou show up early, this is my plan. If you are late in making to to Caribou and we are not there go directly to the AutoMotorPlex. I will see everyone in the morning.
