OK…so.a little more than a year ago an impromptu "NW Meet N Greet" was done up here in the Seattle area. The location was ok and added to the adventure…who knew there would be 3 Starbucks on the same block. What seemed like was only going to be a couple of people turned out to be six. What turned out to be six people with similar interests turned into some pretty darn good friendships and some pretty darn good riding partners. So….since we have what seems to be the makings of an amazing weekend here in the Seattle area again I am proposing we "Meet N Greet" once again. Here are the details: Date: Saturday - Feb 21st, 2009 (Sunday looks like it might get some moisture so Im suggesting Satruday). Location: Buzz Inn Snohomish Web link: Buzz Inn Link for Directions Time: @12:30/1:00 Reason: Lunch, meet, chat and maybe partner up and ride away with a friend or two. Ride what you got (of course we prefer Triumphs), bring who you want! No expectations, buy your own food and drink…but most importantly come and meet some cool kids. Whos in?
SOLD: 07 Black BA, 39mm FCRs, TPUSA stage 1 head, TPUSA 813 cams, TPUSA 10.8:1 pistons, TTP #3 igniter, Specialty Spares Long Cannons, Tsukayu Hard Bags. 82HP/55tq

Dangit, I just agreed to cover for a guy on midnight shift this Friday & Saturday night!!
Sorry Z, I won't be able to bring my cage to the festivities. I hope some old & new people turn out, the weather is good and y'all can get a little ride time in.
Those pics, from the link, remind me of how beautiful my baby was. Makes me a little sad.

1) Did you have to get a real job? (meaning your not consulting anymore)
2) If you wake up or are wrestless come on over in the cage. I hate working nightshifts!

Z,
Maybe you can get Fasteddie to design up a cool Pac NW T-shirt. Maybe something like a "Pikes Place flying Salmon", wearing the Triumph logo, slapping a screaming eagle with it's tail? 
Whaddya think Eddie??
I hope you all have a great time this Saturday. Kirk, don't let Karen get your new young bride alone, unless you are hatching a plan to give your sweety the TBA and you get a new Thunderbird.

LOL Conwy... :-)
And actually, I'm not sure if I like the look of the new Thunderbird. My next Triumph will be a Rocket III, but I'm still loving my TBA and will have that for a while.
And we are looking forward to this weekend, that will be a blast!!

Since Celt won't be showing, I'm off the hook crossing two snow-covered passes. We'll be expecting good Z and/or Uncle Bob stories. Later kids

Kirk, I told you to keep your young blushing bride away from Karen, yet where are they in the pic!!! Watch out, your SO may soon start talking about how she needs her own Triumph! Just don't come crying to me, I warned ya!  Pics look great, glad to see some old faces and some new and none of the infamous cammo-tiki-tiki lid! Hopefully I can make the next get-together, in one form or another. So Bob, with that Rocket of yours, I hear you can go to Nova Scotia and see the total eclipse of the sun...  Thanks again Z & ride safe everyone!

yeah, an I went to go see it yesterday..I put the first couple hundred yards on it(per her request). anyhow, I'm glad to see her weaning herself from the Sportster indoctrination ..though she did feel the need to point out that her new speedy has more h.p. than my '07 America..(gotta get that cam!). I know she'll love it..she already does.  Also, after leaving there, stopped at Champion Cycle..now that's what an English Bike shop SHOULD look, feel, smell, and be like! Good to meet Howard and Matt. more later...take care
