I see that you beat me to this idea. I logged on to talk to you about possibly meeting next weekend and here you are. If the weather cooperates, where would you like to meet? Does the Harely dealership still sound like a good meeting place or do you have something else in mind? I will try to log in more this week so we can plan but don't talk too loud because Mother Nature might hear and throw in a tornado or something next weekend, lol

The Harley shop works for me, it's a place everyone knows how to find.

Interesting thing, it has been raining off and on all day here. I looked at the weather for this week and it shows a possibility of rain all week. Oh well, we live in the PNW what else are we famous for, lol.

I know the weather is being a drag, all fricken year, but we really need to get the Mascot moving again. It has been sitting for to long. I will be in Tacoma the 9th and 10th of June and can meet anyone there at the Harley Dealer just off the 5. In fact I stay at the Laquinta just around the corner on Portland Ave. I get up there around 8AM on the 9th and try to be heading out by 3PM on the 10th. If we can get this together I will ride the bike rain or shine. That's the way we roll up here you know if your afraid to ride in the rain here in the PacNW you don't ride much!

I hear ya about riding in the rain. I was born and raised in the western part of Oregon and now I live in the eastern part so I know about our liquid sunshine we have here. I just find it funny/interesting what the weather is doing, and yes, the Mascot needs to move so others can have a chance to see it and sign it. Sure wouldn't want it to get all moldy sitting around in our wet sunny weather. lol

I think we should shoot for Saturday some time after noon (I have to work until noon). Looks like the weather should be decent, mid 70's and partly cloudy.

Sounds good to me. I also looked at the weather for this coming weekend and it looks good for a change.

Where are you thinking of meeting at? Now that my wife is out of work she is wanting to go for a ride and this weekend is looking good.

08:43 - I was just looking at maps because I heard about a micro brewery in Graham WA, SE of Tacoma about 20 - 30 miles. The place is called M.T. Head Brewing, Empty Head Brewing, http://www.mtheadbrewingco.com/. So I'm thinking we will take a ride up there and get a growler or two and then go for lunch in Tacoma at a place right off the 5 called WartHog BBQ. There is a HD dealer there near Portland Ave on Pacific Hwy that is a possible place to meet. Let me know I can go further north if I need to.
