Sonic/Frankenmuth Run-November 2008

[HotRodGirl]

Weather Pending.........as you know we live in Michigan and the weather forecast is never dependable. A few days ago the forecast for next weekend looked good.....depending on what Internet site you go to it doesn't as now it's saying a 60% chance of rain Other sites are reporting a sunny forecast

So here is what I am going to do

Right now I'm going with Saturday Nov 1st as the Primary Date and Sunday Nov 2nd the Secondary Date............should neither of these dates work we will try for the following weekend.


Here's what we are going to do.......(the time schedule will remain the same no matter what date/day we go on)
Breakfast @ Famous Tony's Restaurant where the portions are extremely LARGE

SONIC — America's Drive-In!

Sonic just opened a couple weeks ago, it has been very busy at times with lines of cars waiting for a place to park. If you wanted everyone to meet and then go to Sonic, there is a K-Mart across the street on the southeast side of the Miller / I-75 junction, just past Applebee's. There is a light there, so you can get back out onto Miller. If things are too busy, you can go to far east side of K-Mart lot and get out on Ballenger, then back around.

After lunch we will visit Bronners Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth

Ahhh the Famous Tony's

With the two meals I'm eating that day..... that's enough for me.....but I can post the place and a time if others would like to meet you there?

[wingrider]

I agree, you should do Tony's for breakfast and have the 1lbs bacon BLT. I loved to stop at tony's when ever I got down that way from Houghton Lake

[32Revolver]

How about a banana split at Tony's to end the season??

After that no lunch would be required!!

[downshifter]

Hey HRG and everyone else,
We will be able to do Saturday, but after that our cruises are done for this year.
It seems that this summer has just flown away and we definately did not have enough time to drive and ride in the SSR
Judy

[Cool Blue]

[HUAW]

I have a potential buyer for my R' from Kansas City. Seemed somewhat concerned that I have put 2,000 miles on it since I put it up for sale...

He still has to sell his Corevette and I'm feeling that I need to take what might be my last cruise with the some of the Fanatics...

It will probably be a last minute decision... What say you?

HUAW Still a Blues Brother...

[32Revolver]

Deb,
Are you setting up a group to travel together to Frankenmuth? If so what time and where. We're ready to go!!

Larry last minute is good besides adding a few more miles and you may be able to keep it

I'm not doing breakfast at Tony's that's to much food

We are all to far apart to set anything up coming in from all different directions best to meet at Tony's or Sonic with the others.

You on the other hand are close to me.......If you want to travel together we will do so. I'll call you on the time

[32Revolver]

Sounds good to me. Tell the Big Guy we say Hey!!!

[REBEL]

Whats the address for this Tony's...
I want to throw it in the GPS for Brenda and I to try Friday.

[HarleyGuy]

HRG;
FWIW, I doubt that any one person can eat that much bacon and hash browns.
It's a good idea to either share one of the bigger meals or just go for a normal portion meal.
We need to know how many are going to Tony's so the first ones there can get us seated together, eh?
BTW, for those going to Tony's, keep in mind that there is an outlet mall just across the street (just in case you want to "shop off" a few hundred calories before proceeding to the Sonic)!!
There's a Levi store in the mall so we'll probably drop by there for a short visit.
For the Harley folks, Shiawassee H-D is also just around the corner from Tony's.
