Yeah you've getting great weather up there this summer. I was in Seattle in July.
I've made that drive up to the mountain several times but never on a bike.

Great pics Fly. I knew it would turn out nice that weekend. I wished I could've made it but had other plans. Of course I would've had a hard time keeping up to you guys on my little 550. Those are some big bikes.

yes. we had a blast.  you'd have kept up just fine.  we weren't in a hurry.  the scenery shouldn't be missed.

I've been up there many many times, even twice this summer already but never on two wheels.

Your 750 ran good I take it?
