I've met some great people whom have really taught me alot (Of course not nearly as much as Troyce and Smed)and are always up for riding. Of course there will always be squids but for the most part everyone gears up and makes you feel comfortable regardless of what you're riding. Most people I have met have taken an MSF class and recommend it to those who haven't, it's nice to see.

Bike night every Wednesday up at Portillos on Rt 83 in Elmhurst, good times! It's almost like a car show but literally 100+ bikes of all kinds. I have to admit, I cage it but one day will make the ride myself :)
