Hey Dan,
let me know if you do it. Im up for riding sunday if the weather holds. Im not sure they know what its doing
Dann
it starts tapering off by sunday but its still going til noon or so. Its a bunch of bikers parked up and down the streets just looking at and talking bikes. some get horribly drunk and some dont drink a drop. most behave well and its great entertainment to watch it all. There'll be booths of dew rags, leather and other biker stuff. a parade on sunday yeah we'll stay in touch sounds like Dennis will go Sat morn I think time I would like to go early Sat morn if Im not already down there from Saturday. Since its on the way I think if I am able to meet some of you for the ride down, The Ray"s Grocery parking lot in Veneta would be good for me. Some of you may want to gang up in Eugene then ride out.

Hey Bloomz. How was your tropical vacation?
It was very nice and I managed to bite it off a 650 wave runner at full throttle. Blinked and I was doing cartwheels across the water.
Bit different weather than the cats and dawgs we got here today. Ahh well, the good shid is coming, I just know it

Jason,
I just happened to check this forum today and saw your post about the bike thang at PDX. Are you still going, or are you thinking about heading to Florence? I live about 5 miles from the expo center and would be happy to meet up. Let me know if you're still going. Sounds like florence might be cool as well, or instead of.

For those of you going to Florence tomorrow (Saturday), are there any concrete plans to meet in Eugene before heading out. If so, I might be interested in hooking up with you. What time and where?

Sounds great, but there's no way I'm going to be able to leave early enough to make it by 10:30 (I'm coming from Portland). I'm being held at work longer than I anticipated tonight, which means a later start tomorrow. Looks like I'm out.
Thanks anyway. I'll have to make up for it the next time around.

I ended up working until 3:00 a.m. Looks like I'm not going to make it at all. Maybe Sunday if I can swing it. Have a great time....looks like it will be hard not to do so.

It was great about 10 of us went down. no rain going down more bikes than last year and YES the burnout king was there he must have destroyed at least 2 tires. I think he's local and just runs home and installs a new one. circles, straight lines 2nd and third gear lock the front brake and SMOKIN Somebody stop me.
I did get to meet one of our X'rs from Bend. He has a beauty N model. He was nice enough to call me while he was there and we met up. Great day no one got hurt and I think (no rain) I will go again tommorrow or see what Danns doing.
little mist comming home not really rain and A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL
