    I was friends with the owner (Todd Nelson) back in the early 1980's when he was a bar owner/bartender @ a place called the Brother in Laws Bar...He then opened Pizza Pub a few years later...Then started his hotel empire on the vacant property behind his Bar and Pizza joint...He built a resort called the Ramada Raintree...Yep...He's a local boy who did good...Unfortunately the rumors of how he amassed the money to build these businesses is local folklore...

    I wonder if this type of thing will become more common place in the future. 

    The riding style has changed, guys ride with there toes on the pegs now to make them react on the bike better. 

    Landing off these big G-outs puts major strain on the ankles and tendons. 

    Hopefully it's not a trend.

    CHICAGO — Seven people are injured from overnight shootings on the city’s South Side in Englewood, Back of the Yards and Hyde Park.

    Police reported that three men were leaving a business near the 5300 block of South Lake Park Avenue in Hyde Park when an unidentified man fired shots into a crowd. One man was shot in the left arm and another man was shot in the abdomen.

    Both men were taken to the hospital and are listed in good condition.

    Another man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and right side of the hip and was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

    Police said a black charger was seen driving away at a high speed at the same time.

    Police also confirmed a 22-year-old woman was shot in the upper back when a fight broke out near the 1300 block of West 47th Street around 11:00 p.m. in Back of the Yards. She was transported to the hospital in good condition.

     

    An hour later, police reported of an armed robbery where a 59-year-old man was shot multiple times in the 5500 block of South Bishop Avenue in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. He was transported to a hospital in good condition.

    A 41-year-old woman was sitting in a car near the 1000 block of West 70th Street around 10:28 p.m. in Englewood when a group of men shot at her vehicle multiple times. She sustained a gunshot wound to the face and was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

    According to police, a 27-year-old man was driving his car southbound near the 4500 block of South Honore Street around 12:25 a.m. when he observed a group standing at a corner.

    anyone needing tires or snow tires shouldn't hesitate. the prices are staggering, even for small sizes. i just sold a set of lt275/70/18 studded duratracs, 438.00 each on the truck. even the cheap brands are ridiculous. if you need , go get em'. not gonna get any better, or cheaper. snow tires already scarce and it just snowed for the first time . didn't get slick so everyone is holding off. then it will get slick, they will be crying when the only snows left are blizzaks. they work but are big money

    12 months ago installed 4 BFG All Terrain TA's...275-70-18...A hair over a G$ complete @ Farm n Fleet...Today $ 328.00 ea plus...

    I can't remember but I think the old old trail was in blue? Why can't they just across Sunday Lake instead of running North to Indian Head and just head over to HWY 2 in red?

    Mi state law...NO state funded trail can cross a body of water....BUT...I saw this problem happen in Dickinson county around 15-20 years ago...A local high roller built a big house adjacent to the trail#2 rr grade northeast of Iron Mt...He got a lawyer to get an injunction to close the trail due to noise...So in order to keep trail2 open they re-routed it across Lk Antoine...Only time I have ever seen a mi funded trail go across water...It was STUPID and a tragedy waiting to happen because that lake is spring fed and can develop soft spots overnight in certain weather conditions...The homeowner eventually lost his battle and the rr grade was reopened...

    Just watched the vid, so I walked in mid Convo with the dealer and the guy from Dilla, so what I caught was the kids went up to get the motor and the Yamaha guy said it had to be broke down to make sure there were no metal fileings in it, came back said there was metal in it and he would give him a new motor, the kids said I'll take a new motor, but I bought that motor and it's mine..So Yamaha went to the kid and family and said if you don't lay off you're never getting anything from Yamaha again, no new units, no parts, nothing you're done if you pursue this,..and it was dropped,..Everyone there said that was a hot motor, no doubt..They also said at Dilla this past weekend, all the pro teams pulled out Saturday night after the pro race but Yamaha stayed which was odd..Sunday during the pro-am race, both Deegan boys after heat races, warm ups drove past their pits and rode to the pro pits where only the Yamaha factory rigs were and they pitted their bikes...

    Even though he recinded his claim, thats exactly what happened to him...Sponsors pulled out and the dealer took all the bikes back from him...
