PNW VFR Owners

Welcome to the VFR bug..... I have investigated the snot out of this issue. Seems like the best answer comes from our british friends who are more thana little fanatical about this issue. I have followed thier cue and seem to have overcome most of this with re-balancing the starter valves. Make sure that your service center does it right!

I love these guys.... I really do......

 

Hello to all the PNW VFR Riders, I am a everyday rider, have parked my cars and now am back to the enjoyment of riding I have a '94 that so far(since 5-8-06) have put 3k on. It would be great to get together with Others who appreciate the VFR'S!! I can be reached at gphome@morgansound.com and would like to meet others for rides
Thanks
Gary

 

Welcome Gary!! I ride pretty much everyday to work as well, and then on the weekends for fun. :tongue: We will definitely have to get all of us VFR riders out for a ride together. RVFR and I are pretty active on pnwriders.com as well. There are lots of rides being planned all the time. Sunday I went with a big group (31 bikes) to Mt. Rainier and Yakima, but I was the only VFR. RVFR had a ride going on down in Mist, OR and I think he was the only VFR.

Glad to see you here!

Okay VFRs unite, a VFR gathering of sorts,I knew of this for awhile just didn't say anything till I knew it was a go, and it is. A member of another VFR site is throwing a VFR meet in Newport Oregon, Aug 18-20. I say we crash it, whats ya say?
Hi Gary, Big Welcome, good choice on the VFR, My favorite.. yes if you can lots going on in the way of rides here in the PNW thats why i'm hooked up in PNWriders.com still think we should get a VFR section there.

 

Here's a link from that other forum that has some info..http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20295&st=0

 

Just did a quick read through on the thread, and how cool!! It sounds great, I second the idea of crashingeace: Now all I have to do is look through the schedule tomorrow at work and get it all set up.

 

VFR meet in Newport

I'd go - I will be in CHI for business the week before so a big ride will be great. Keep me updated.

 

Nice Gary. 1 down, Okay what about the rest of the PNW VFR owners? lets get a head count...

 

The old saying...

So just food for thought, the old saying is that you never see a motorcycle parked in front of a shrink's office - but since my father in law also rides and is a shrink, where do I park when I go to visit?

 

Crash It!

Newport's about a 50 mile ride for me.
There's a nice loop using Hwy 20 and Hwy 34.
Philomath, Alsea, Waldport, Newport. Seems like it is somewhere around 125 miles.

Hey sounds cool. So this makes 3, who else is in?

 

I'd Park in front anyway. And where does thy father n law park?

 

Got a room booked, So I am Physched!

 

PNW riders - what do you say to a ride to the East on Saturday? A few riders from work suggested a 101 loop of about 12 hours, but the weather looks more like East is better. Any suggestions - maybe hit Lake Chelan? Meet in Issaquah or Fall City in the AM?

 

Ha - good question! Not sure where he parks his bike. But I know that he uses that as a way to prove to his clients that they need to ride to keep from going crazy(ier!)

 

Lake Chelan - Saturday AM

Leaving Issaquah at 8 AM - 165 mi. one way. Meet at the Starbucks in the QFC parking lot on Gilman Blvd. Exit 15 off I-90.

 

Lake Chelan - time change

10 AM same location.
