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.

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.
Sounds great, guys! I'm happy for you the weather in your region is getting better and better.
Wish I could be there, so please post tons of pics!
Alright Gary, I'll spread the word to the local boys. Any idea what time?

The plan is and has been to meet at Rattlesnake Mountain Harley Davidson in Kennewick. From there it will probably head to Yakima depending on the gents up that way.

Something funny happened today. I went for a ride into town and decided to stop and visit with a friend of mine that works at a espresso shop. After visiting with him for some time, I decided to get some gas and go for a ride. As I left his lot, my throttle cable broke. I was able to limp back to where he worked and he called my indy for me. Since I have 16"s on my bike the cables need to be custom made. Needless to say I might not get my bike back until next week. All is not lost though, my gf keeps her 883 here with me to use when she comes over for a visit. We talked it over and I will probably rider her Sporty over instead of my Springer. I like riding the Sporty because it is the size of bike that I learned how to ride on. I will admit that it is a touch smaller than my Springer, lol, but it will still be fun.

Geez Rene, it isn't that far for you to ride!
If you work until noon, would 1pm be ok or would a different time be better for you?
P.S. I almost forgot, yes, Saturday will work for me.
Oh, by the way, where I live we have had t-storms and a tremendous amount of rain. Even though I grew up in this kind of weather, I still choose when and where I want to ride. If somebody else chooses to ride in this kind of weather, than so be it that is their priviledge, but don't expect me to ride the same as others. I have ridden in rain and also freezing rain and I know what I have to watch out for when I ride in these conditions.
Once we can get the mascot up to the Yak I'll be glad to get a group of west-siders together for a run over the hill to Whistlin' Jacks up above Nile on the 410.
