I had a great time and learned a bit about riding. Would love to do that again, and hopefully I can bring a friend of mine who's got a 350f.

Thanks for taking and posting the great pics. At least I could be there vicariously

Wait for the video to soon be posted.  ;D

Can't wait! It's pretty cool picking out member's bikes that have been on the board for a while now.

Flybox, Branden, rat400, funjimmy, seaweb, Tweakin. All nice bikes to see out on the road.

I certainly can post the vid this evening, but its pretty worthless, too much vibration when mounted on the bars.   Seeing the group all in line leave the lot, and watching a gal scamper out of the way as you all roared off was laughs.  ;D  After the first stop...you guys were gone!   not much to see after that  tlbranth and i got stuck behind cars the whole way.  :-\  didnt see you till the last stop before we split.
I'm just glad i got one warmup lap before hand with tweakin / branden

all of you guys had such cool bikes.  my 350F was the runt of the litter.   :-[ no question.  my mind wrestled all day sunday with ditching it to find something bigger....

I was telling my neighbour about Jimmy's bike and what attention to detail. He's an antique car restorer. He said "Yeah those Canadians are fanatics. They always blow us away at the car shows". What kind of paint did you boys use for the glossy black finish on your engines?

Those vids look great.
I've been out of town at a conference so haven't been able to post my vid yet.
Should be up real soon though.

Great videos. I really enjoy doing the Mercer Island loop (provided you don't get behind some cager out for a Sunday drive). Living in Kirkland, it's only a short bomb down 405 to 90 and I'm there in less then 10 mins.

Yup. Live.

GZ 2.0 has been languishing in Meridian, Idaho for a week now (http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=105559.msg1208029#msg1208029) and we have had no luck finding anyone willing to meet up with ofreen to pick up the baton. If we can't get something going by the end of the week (6/15/12) we are going to have to consider shipping the baton. Where is everyone? If we ship the baton to Seattle, is there a way to connect with Team Northern in Montana or North Dakota? Or are we going to have to ship the baton from there as well? We are in dire need of some feedback!
