Well the 11th is out for me. It'll be a couple of weekends before I get back on a seat. Going in for the Big Snip on the 11th. Wish me luck boys!

Don't be a weenie.  ;D

I was riding my bicycle the day after and you need a couple weeks before you can sit on a comfy padded motorcycle?
Find a No-Scalpel/No-Needle doctor and you'll be right back on that CB of yours.

I would like to make the PNW meet. I haven't seen a for sure date but the 11-12th seems doable.
Thanks for the heads up Kevin.
My 550 hasn't been fired in over a year! Got some cobwebs to blow out.

I'll keep an ear out. ;)

OK Jimmie I'll see how it feels the day after. I've had several friends get snipped and they all have a different story. I take the middle road. I probably won't be sitting in a saddle the next day but hopefully won't two weeks either.

Keep a bag of frozen peas close by and you'll be back in the saddle before too long. I was surprised at how quickly I healed. Maybe not the next day, but definitely within the week I was riding again.

We're not asking you to sit on a saddle, but maybe a bar stool.   ;D

I know the venue has been selected but here is another place that caters to riders and looks like a cool place for a possible bike night.

I heard through the grapevine that Backfire Moto at the Bit Saloon night is next wednesday May 18 but emphasis on "grapevine". They normally do it the third wednesday of the month which would put it on May 25. They haven't changed the website in a month so not sure what the facts are.

Since it looks as though we have people coming from Portland and Canada plus the 11th seems to work for everybody lets make it official. I'll send Roanoke an email right now to let them know we are coming.
