Washington state SOHC4 ride
« on: April 22, 2008, 09:41:36 PM »
So, after that day of great weather a couple weeks back, and seeing some SOHC's out and about, including me, I'd like to put together a ride, tentativley for May 18th. Possibly up Hwy 101 up to Port Townsend. I'm not quite sure where the starting point would be, as I don't know where everyone would be coming from. I'm open to ideas, so if anyone is interested, let me know!  :)  Hopefully its something that we can do once a month...

If I lived up there, I'd go with you.  The Olympic peninsula was one of my favorite places to ride the 750 back in the 70s.

Damn it... I alway forget to check the region section of the forum. With the lack of summer, I'm assuming the ride hasn't happened yet. If I can manage to figure out my charging issue  :-\, I'd be up for it for sure.

Nope, it hasn't happened yet. One of these moons when summer finally happens, there'll be a SOHC4 ride. I do know that the Cretins in Seattle will be throwing their Mods and Rockers ride on the 29th, I'm going to be there, rain or shine... :-\

Yeah I was hoping to be able to make it to the cretins bash on the 29th, but unless I can figure out the issue with my charging system by then I don't see myself making it. Should be fun.

I hope you make it, It'd be great to see you there! I'm showing up on my '75F, and my brother is riding my BMW...

I'll be delivering my bike to "South End Motorcycle Services" in South Seattle tomorrow. So it appears I won't be able to make it. :'( At this point, I'm just hoping to have the bike running reliably by the time of the VME ride on Vashon. We'll see.

Have fun,

Regards,
Chris
