Here are the directions and a map:
To get to Love Leathers in Ridgefield WA take either I-5 or I-205 north to Exit 9. 179th street the Clark County Fair grounds. Coming from the south turn right if from the north turn left. Go 1/2 mile, you will pass through a traffic signal at 15th Ave. Love Leathers is on the left hand side. It is really easy to see and has lots of room. If the weather is decent then there might be someone there doing BBQ I will stop by and check that out. So far I have not heard form anyone in the Seattle area to come down and get the mascot so I may wind up taking it up there and handing off to wldbill. I'm hoping that the Seattle folks will step up and I am going to rattle the other areas to wake them up.
April 19th for an hour gang lets make a showing. The mascot has finally made it so come and sign it and get your picture with it too. Here is a map http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Love+Leathers+Ridgefield+WA&ie=UTF8&ll=45.750457,-122.656817&spn=0.012637,0.026951&z=16&layer=tc&cbll=45.750457,-122.656817

Thanks for doing this Dawg. I'm going to be in Hong Kong next weekend, otherwise I would be there.
BTW - The weather is supposed to be horrendous all this week and into the weekend, any chance of changing this to the following weekend, April 26? I'm sure you'll get more interest if the weather was going to be better. I realize there are no gurantees, but you never know.

Zach,
I am concerned about the weather too and may just have to postpone untill the following weekend is a possibility. I will make that call a little later this week. I agree that more people might show up when the weather is good but then again this last Saturday was perfect and no one showed  go figure.quote:

JohnnyD, I have been talkin with Biggest Dawg on getting the mascot up north. Tenativly we are meeting in Chehalis after you have a meet and greet in the Vancouver area. If you brought the mascot up to NW harley area that would be great. It does look like the weather is gonna be tough this comming weekend but I guess everyone should play it by ear.

I work that night (Saturday), that's why I said I'm off Mon-Thurs of next week and can run it up sometime in that time frame. If this works let me know, just throwing out the offer.

I saw the weather report for this weekend and it is not looking so great. They are talking snow, not sticking, down to at least 500 ft level. I am thinking that we may need to push out a week for some, hopefully, more cooperative weather. I want to see the weather report tomorrow and make the call then but at this point it is not looking good. Stay tuned!

I just read the forcast from the National Weather Service for the weekend again and am pasting it below. Due to the threat of snow and unseasonably cold tempratures I feel that it is prudent to push back the M&G to the 26th. The time and place will remain the same.

Yes I am planning on being there. Hope to see you. I plan on being there from about noon to one. After that I will be riding up to Chehalis to hand off to reefrider. Anyone that wants to go along is more than welcome.

So Saturday from 12:00pm to 1:00pm at Love Leathers, then a blast up I-5 to Chehalis to meet reefrider. Sounds good, I think I can make it.

Yeehaw, good pics Virg! Hey thanks for the early M&G and kind words for the wife and I. I wish I could make it to the scheduled M&G, but gotta do the work thing , but I do appreciate you going out of your way to meet up with us and for taking these pics. Hope everyone has a good time riding and enjoying the sunshine today while I'm at work and wishing I wasn't  It was great to meet you and I hope we can do some riding sometime. I'm sure we'll all meet more and more of the forum members and get to do some rides.
P.S. can you email me those pics? Do you still have my address? It's in my profile if you need it. Thanks again - JonnyD

Great time today everyone. Glad I got to make it. Even though it was just up and back down I-5, it was great riding with those that could go to hand off the mascot to reefrider.
Speaking of reefrider, what happened to you two? I thought you were following us to Casa Ramos?
Hey Donny - That fuggin bike is loud! I like it. We'll definitely get together again.

It was great to meet everyone that made it. We had a great turn out and the ride up to Centrailia was great. We had really good weather for the ride.
