IF the site were to ever go silent...

I’m posting this here because this forum has been the incubator of relationships that thrive outside of the boundary of the worldwide web.

Last week, former CB1100 owner and semi-active Forum member, Memphis Mike, and his wife flew in for a quick Mimi-vacation to Chicago. I live close to O’Hare and offered to pick them up from the airport, take them to a new BBQ place a friend of mine owns, and “Uber” them to their hotel downtown.

Mike’s a bit of a BBQ expert so he enjoyed comparing Mel’s Craft BBQ to his own and he and Mel talked shop for a few minutes. He was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Mel’s “not-Memphis” brisket and ribs.

I gave him some recommendations for iconic Chicago eats like pizza, hot dogs, and beef sandwiches as well as a couple of cigar shops close to their hotel. He “tipped” his driver with three cigars and a couple of “Memphis Mike” stickers which are now proudly displayed in my garage.

We’re talking about him riding up here next summer to ride, eat, and smoke cigars. Or maybe me doing a SS1000 where I deliver a box of Mel’s BBQ to Mike in Memphis and he sends me home with a box from his favorite local joint. Neither would happen except for the existence of the CB1100 Forum
