I'm right there with you fly. Still a bit wobbly from the knee surgery. I'm coming along great but too damn slow for me to get on the bike, I'm bummed especially with the awesome weather we're supposed to have in the next few days. Vashon Island is calling.

Also get this, I'm waiting on a new exhaust manifold in the mail for my boat so even boating is out for this weekend! I know my wife has plans for me in her garden..... :'( .....I just know it.

Well inspite of a wobbly leg I got out and rode on Sunday. Nothing like 80 degrees and sunny in Seattle!

Fly did you get your parts in? Backfire Moto is tomorrow! I think I'll be there.

WAAA WAAA WAAaaa...
ARRRSSS..,

Uhhhh ..ARRRRGHHH, I mean.... it was only 113 here last summer.

Be careful what you wish for.  PNW has some good weather . Take the  week off and go bellingham  to Juneau with your bike on the ferry.  Blow the cobwebs out of your pipes in Ketchikan. It's  Like where you are at, It's the best time of year to be up there right now, too.  Rain Scmain, ride your bike.

Who's complaining? When it's sunny and warm around here there is no better place on the planet. We had more summer this past weekend than all of last year.
