It seems all the singles Meetup groups in the suburbs tend to consist mostly of fifty-somethings with a couple divorces under their belts and their kids married or off to college.  Leaving the younger crowd forced to head to Chicago for social activities with others in their age range.  Not that there's anything wrong with folks over a certain age, they're as active and vivacious as the rest of us.  Sometimes more-so.  We just want to hang with people of a similar age. There are a lot of young s …

… We'll get together to socialize so we can talk motorcycles and group business over cheap beer and whiskey.   For the moment we are a meetup group, but we're also potentially an aspiring Motorcycle Club or similar type of organization.  How we define ourselves within the riding community will depend on the way things play out this season and how the interest and commitment of the members develop.  For now the gang will be a "Motorcycle Group" by agreement, to stay neutral while keeping other opti …
