Awesome weather in the PNW for the Isle of Vashon TT.  A few thousand bikes descended on this sleepy little island for the day.
Hooked up with speedwolf and a few buddies for some bike watching, poker run, and a ride around the island..

Ran into the original owner of a well kept daily rider sandcast - frame and engine VINS's in the mid 6000's. 
Nice guy.  Loved to talk. 

A 10 minute ferry ride from Seattle, and you really feel like you're far from it.

It doesn't look out on the road PDX

You are correct. It is not. I'm working on getting it road-worthy.
