First welcome to the Forum and congrats on a great bike. Heck with the chats....lets ride! There is an active PNW COG group. The Bun Cooler is June 1. This is a great get together with good food and 77 miles of winding road. So now the question is West side or Gods side?

Welcome!

Welcome aboard!

AKA Wet side or Dry side ;D Welcome aboard!! Where are ya located at? I'm wondering if it's the Bremerton/Silverdale area? I have seen 2 of the vastly quicker Silver '08s lately, once they were only 2 minutes apart! I'm in Port Orchard so if your'e thinking of any farkles I have plenty to gawk at. Drop a PM if your'e interested, my days are pretty open at the moment.

Pappy retired out of the industrial engineering shop, which is long gone as I hear it. My buddy retired as a riger foreman/crane operator. Me? SK Class of '81, joined the Army, spent 20+ years and know I'm back home, but hopefully not much longer, looking forward to building my dream retirement cabin on the dry side just outside of Orroville and above Wannacut Lake. Offer an open one, we could meet up somewhere or your welcome to come here, shop, tools, air, beer in the fridge, and a lake if ya like fishing.

I plan on the bun burner too. You can show me all you want about how fast your color is all you want, but I'm not planning on receiving a performance evaluation. :stirpot: And you know lo Lo has it's resident evaluator.

Hey my dad was a lifer, 30 years in the army. He's had a good retirement and I hope you have one too.

Okie dokie, How's the ZX throttle bodies working out? Cheater...... :-*

So far so good. I need to get a long run to really get a good idea of how they will act, but so far so good ;D

Well, I guess we need to get Chungas and some others out to the Bun Cooler. But I know you will have gone on a nice long ride before then. It would be neat if we could meet up and ride in together.
Right now, I'm tapping a foot wanting to ride. But the weather just isn't helping me any. I had the Z out the other day when the temp hit 50. I was impressed with the old gal as she had sat all winter with a dry gas system. Dumped a half gallon of gas in, set the choke hit the starter button and within 2 rev's of the crank, she fired right up. After a stop at the gas pump, we went for a short 50 mile ride.
It helped some. I'm ready for spring. :banghead:

+10 on the Spring thingy :)

Me too. The weather has been totally whacky. For example, it was *82* degrees here on Friday! In Winter! I left work and got home all excited.... great riding opportunity. Then it started getting dark with the severe storm warning and tornado watch. Ug. Then the temps plummeted into the 40's again.
I *can* ride when it is in the 40's, but it just isn't pleasant. Takes so long to put on all the extra layers and wires and such and I end up feeling like an un-moving blimp AND the cold still creeps in. And rain- NO THANKS!
-
I here ya I wanted to ride to work today but with the temps in the min 30s and new tires i opted out for today. :(

Welcome from federal way. I commute everyday with the c14. Get er done.

I'll have a "Shed" ;) ;) built next month, the second floor will have a nice living space, complete with shower and throne. Downstairs is toy storage and maintanance area. Power will be run so fridge will be well stocked with adult beverages and the grill will be in full use. I like company and never say no to a fellow rider, besides I can always use extra muscle ;) I have a lake al set to fis, nice trout, early season the fish are still firm and great tasting. Late season they head down and continue growing. There are also turtles, never had turtle soup, but there is always a first. Fresh turkey, and maybe fresh venison. Regadless, a good time for all and if you are into dirt I will have the KLR and YZ450F on hand, and a 3 and 4 wheeler as well. Lots to see and do. Camp fire at night to share the days adventures and maybe some adult beverages. When the shed is done there will be room to hold 4-6 extras, so all are welcome, if ya plan on making a trip lets decide a date-s and where to link up... There are some really nice roads in the area, Tim should know which would offer the most diversity. So, there it is, throw out dates that work, I'll host the event and the local rides, maybe Tim for other rides. I'll lock in dates based on the most common time frame and work out the details as things progress. If anyone is interested in a little DS or dirt riding we can do that as well, do a few little drills and off we go. my email is mainsdoghouse @ msnDOTcom I'm thinking late June, early July would be a good time, much earlier and a lot of the mountin above will be covered in white stuff, which would be fine on a DS for those willing to ride the snow. It would be an awesome chance to see what we call the top of the world and some orchards from the top. Awesome pics all along the route.
Whos in? If those dates don't work, we can come up with something else. I'm up there several times during the year so all we are missing is a link point.
