Rumor has it that the Isle of Vashon will be on September 11 this year. Who is in? We should should plan a meeting place/time so we can mob over on the ferry together.

We can meet at my place or near by for the guys in the south.  I have a few guys crashing at my place for the ride.

Whoa, deja vue from a year ago.

I should be around, I live less than a mile from the Fauntleroy dock.

I hope somebody posts some pics. Started hearing bikes go by the house around 6 in the morning and pretty much steady until about 10.

I didn't make it, decided to take the boat out instead since it was so nice out.

Cool pix.  I used to live down near Redondo by the beach years and years ago.

For anyone who missed it, the Isle of Vashon was a riot last weekend. One of the best vintage motorcycle events in the country.

There were thousands of bikes of all stripes.



It amazed me that this guy could ride without legs!



One of our own ingenious members completed the poker run with his broken throttle cable MacGyvered to his brake pedal! Brilliant!



Trooper of the year has to go out to this participant.



SOHC4 representation was good.

That was me! What a fun ride that was. It was a little difficult having to take right hand turns at 1/4 speed because of the vice grips clinging to my brake pedal.

A video of how it worked:
