    Im up living with my brother for the forseeable future and we stopped by the new (to me) Lynnwood Cycle Barn digs today. I got to drool on and caress a number of bikes i would like to own: the new 675 Daytona, the '07 600RR, an '06 VFR, a few different metric cruisers and even a Ninja 250. I originally bought my 94 VFR from them when they were in that odd building down from Costco. Was fun to spend a couple hours actually getting to sit on some of the bikes i usually only get to read about.

    Cycle Barn...that brings back memories. I bought my first VFR there, it was a left over new '97. I got it in early '99 with my tax return. I sold it before I got orders out of Washington. I didn't know where I was being sent, so I got rid of it. I ended up going to Vegas. The guy that sold it to me was named Doug as well, however the only thing that he knew about the bike was that it was a red Honda. That place does have some nice stuff, even the used side has some nice stuff from time to time. I feel for your commute. I grew up about 1/4 mile from Puget Park Drive In, on 128th. My parents still live there, and my Dad commutes to the Boeing plant in Renton 5 days a week. He's trying to get transferred back up to the Everett plant. Have you had a chance to ride the Cascade loop yet? You should also check out the ride up to the ice caves, if you haven't had a chance yet.
