SPORT BIKE NORTHWEST August 23-26, and a hang over for the Dual sport ULY's Aug 27-30. Had a small group leave from the shop last year. Looking for a larger participation to show up the Ducs and Umphs. Working on getting a Demo Truck there as well. Will leave from the shop on the 22, full ride blast down the 101 and cross over to hug the Columbia into Stephenson. Book your vacation now, bring your tents. Will post some pics from last year | ||

We're going early sunday Jim, already have our tickets. We will be looking hard to find something for Lorraine, and Eva will be with us as well. | ||
| Shotgun |
Don, Lorraine, you want my Ducati ST3? Nice 2 up ride. Plenty of luggage space. Try one on for size at the show. | ||
| Bib |
I'm in Jimmy. TJ has a game Sunday afternoon at 4:15 otherwise I'm flexy. Harv | ||
| Funjimmy |
Shotgun What's up with that! You moving up to the 1098? Jimmy | ||
| Funjimmy |
Shotgun I've been doing a little research for you since your pervious post would suggest that you are looking for a new ride. This one is about 60% lighter than your Duc and should turn on a dime.  Cheers FunJimmy | ||

Holy Shister! What cutie. I would like to sell the ST3 and have enough $$$ to get a used road ride plus a dirt bike or would consider trades for same. Our new place has miles of forest roads to explore. I don't see myself doing big touring trips since I haven't convinced the MRS to ride with me again since the last time I took her into the ditch about 6 years ago. Since we are retiring together, I want our lives in sinc. Have I told you how wonderful the hottub is at 4PM or so when you are tired from your day and have a drink in your hand and the world is warm and fuzzy and bubbly and you can look up at the sky and think about all the poor schnooks still at work? Yeah, and getting up not with the fucxxing alarm clock but with the sound of the local train tooting as it crosses the road 11 times in 7 miles around 7:30 AM plus or minus an hour? And being able to walk out the door into the woods and walk for hours without seeing or hearing another soul? Or being able to feel comfortable raising "herbs" from seeds in your own greenhouse with nobody around to see or care or interfere? Ya baby. Y'all got to get your retirement plan in gear!!!! Now just got to sell my house in Portland. Somebody buy Gina, okay? | ||
| Buellnuts |
Whats Gina going for Shotgun? Bob | ||
| Shotgun |
Bobby, I would make you such of a deal. I paid $12000 for her, added $2000 or so in mods, she has less than 9000 miles on her and I would like to get $9000 for her. If she's around in the spring, I'll probably advertise her a little higher, in that the average retail for a 2005 ST3 used is about $10,400. She's better than average, but I want to be realistic, I aint the Ducati store. She is still on factory warrenty til August 2007, though I have had nothing go wrong with her, and even at her 6600 miles service and valve check, she had not moved even a thousandth of an inch from spec. She pulls an honest 100 rwhp on the dyno with an awesome ramp up to redline and a nice torque line. | ||

Harv I spoke with Eric last night and he and I are thinking about Friday night for the MC show. How does that work for you? Jimmy | ||
| Bib |
I'm in. May I suggest meeting me at the outstanding new Irish Pub (The Dublin Crossing) on Fraser Hwy. and 188th Ave. It just happens to be on the way......and right by my house. I'm in trouble.  Harv | ||

What weekend is the Daytona races? Got to make plans to see Duane and Lisa!  | ||

Loni, I think it's the 10th. I have joined the exclusive ranks of the Grand and Anchiet Order of the Squrill Chaser! Kim, I now know what you were up against. I was out with the boy riding the old mountian bike, when I first saw the enemy. About 15 ft. ahead he was pretending not to notice me as he formulated a plan to destroy me. Hopeing for a pre-emptive strike, I shout 'get the squrill' and pedal toward him. He is standing next to a tree, and I think the little basturd would run up it. But NOOOOO The little freak runs straight ahead, a little streak about 3 in. from death by my front tire, Now I'll let it be known that I had no real designs on this creatures life, yet. I grab all the breaks I had at my disposal and both wheels lock and I'm feeling pretty cool 'cause I'm still upright. I look down and I AM going to squish furry runner in a mater of 10ths of a second. Last chance for the little enemy was a full 90 degree turn of the front wheel. This causes me to go into a very short free fall, over the handlebars and onto my rt.side,head / shoulder. My kid thinks I'm dead. The little protaganist of course had leapt to the tree at the last possibe instant,rendering my sacrifice null and void. sheesh Insult to injury consisted of said minion of the forest sitting on a branch LAUGHING at his handy work with me in the mud. I only wish it had been video'd, cause it would have won me a staring role on the next Jack Ass release, at the least. So my friends, watch out for thoes furry little skid marks. Yes, watch out indeed. sooner, Galen | ||

Galen sorry to hear that you like I laid waste to a 2 lb rat with a big fluffy tail - I think they were made cute just so we would play their little game, now had it been an actual rat - different story - at least the ending! Happy Birthday to Mike and Matt - or actually Matt came first so that is Happy Birthday Matt and Mike - I love you! Kimberlie | ||
| Buellnuts |
Happy B-day Mike-N-Matt! I'm glad you guys are catching up. Well, It sounds like we need to invent a Squirl wistle. We could sell it to evey Goldwinger in the country. On another note, Where the hell is everyone? Bob | ||
| Additude |
and the little devils bite too ! | ||
| Sparropie |
BOBNUTS.All the important people are somewhere.... So's how about we ride AGAIN (yes Bob and Deb and I road LAST weekend too) Tomorrow's s'posed to be the best day of the weekend. LAUGH RIDE! sooner, Galen | ||
| Buellnuts |
Galen, We would like to but....... We are getting up early in the morning and tearing out all the sheet rock, flooring, studs etc. in the kitchen and going to the dump. Wanna get dirty? I thought not. Oh well, life goes on ...and on and on and on............. Don and Loraine, What did you guy's find? Bob | ||
| Additude |
Hi Bob and Deb, more home improvments eh? we still have to do our kitchen floor and mouldings. We went to the bike show and Lorraine really likes the Kawasaki Ninja 650r , it fits her and I think a lower seat is available.  | ||
| Buellnuts |
Good Choice, I have only heard good thing about the Bike.  You guys coming down for the Daytona 200 Party? Bob | ||
| Additude |
We're still trying to figure that one out Bob, what weekend is it? love to see you guys.  | ||
| Cityxslicker |
You know,if you dropped the fairing off that Saki it would make a nice 650 Naked bike  They all look better in the buff | ||
| Buellnuts |
I bet it would look good Nekid. I'm hoping all Nekid bikes are girls! God, they are aren't they?  Shes got a purdy a$$ Bob | ||
| Funjimmy |
Lo & Don Sportyeric just stopped by for a pint and brought with him his previously read Cycle World magazines. The August 2006 issue has a comparison review featuring the Kawasaki Ninga 650R. Have you read it yet? If you want the copy I have just let me know. I think it would be a great scoot for you, Lo. Go girl! Got the engine back in the S1 tonight. Things are starting to come together. Thanks Eric. Bob. Nice piece of tail. Soooo....tight. Cheers FunJimmy (Message edited by funjimmy on February 07, 2007) | ||

Thanks Jimmy, Yeah I would like to read that issue (thanks Eric too). We could try and get together or you could pass it over to Brent the next time you go mountain biking. | ||
| Terribletim |
Hmm. When are you guys gettin together for some ridin? I'm new here, and always lookin for a good ride. As soon as the rain stops. | ||
| Terribletim |
Heh, I mean new on the forum, not new to the area. | ||
| Buellnuts |
Welcome Tim. Check The Splash thread in Storm Fronts and the Border Raid Thread. Those are the two Main group rides but we ride all the time. Deb and I are also in Tacoma as are a few more. We are a blend of Oregon, Washington and Canada. We are all great friends with a passion for anything on two wheels. More than a few of us have morfed over to different brands but continue to ride and enjoy each other.  As you can see, I am the most handsom feller in the group. Bob |
