Are you going to Mardon?

When are you leaving and which way are you riding over?

Some of us would be upset if you didn't stop in to say hey :thumbup: How's the Harley treating you ???
The Ultra has been a great bike, it's even better now since I installed a 6 speed in it about 1-1/2 years ago. Also added a few more things to make it mine ifin you know what I mean. Coming over is not a for sure thing as we speak, getting ready for a big vacation soon in Cabo and have some things to finish up before we leave. But if I can get away for a day of riding I'll be over...

Old friend, it would be great to see you, even for a short time.
Do you remember, or did you ever even know, you were the first WA VTXer I met?
Colleen and I pulled in to Mardon, unloaded our stuff, and then I walked thru the campsite introducing myself. You were the first one I spoke to.
(Jason [bbqguy] was the first VTXer I met, but he and I were under the OR flag back then.)
Jim

Yes Jim I remember, I also remember when we talked you asked me what type of exhaust I had on my 1300. Then the next time we seen each other, Colleen had the same one on her 1300. The Very first time I was in Mardon, Tim aka ( 6footmoose ) had put that ride together, that was back in 2004. There was about 7 of us the first year, that was the first time I also met Lee and Vicki. Vicki had just got her motorcycle license. Times sure have changed since then old friend...

this really sucks, but we cant make it to Mardon, We committed to a family function, that we thought was the weekend after. turns out it is the same. this will be the first we have missed, we were looking forward to seeing the crew old and new.
Hopefully the old rally will still be around next year.

Sorry to hear that you two won't be able to join us this year. Hopefully next year will be a great turn out!

Hope to see you two sooner than later.

Glad you can make it.

Click on the following link to the other posting, the entrance is at the top left of the pic:

Keep in mind that we now only have tent sites 8, 9 and 20 and not all that are marked on the pic. I am staying in the Duck Shack which is right next to the tent sites. It's a double mobile home they rent out. There should be a bunch of bike around that area. Usually on Saturday we try and get a ride in to somewhere but Ive not heard of any ideas for this year as there aren't too many people attending and some that are are leaving for home on Saturday too. When you come in the entrance just ride straight down the hill towards the main office, and once past the buildings we should be in the grassy area, just before the main office.

Here is my cell ph if you need to get in touch with us.. 206. eight nine zero. 88 three one.

See ya there,
Gary aka CRUZR

Where in WA are you from?
 
#44 ·
Jim and Colleen live in LaGrande OR:thumbup:
They are from the other Washington! You will enjoy meeting and visiting with them. The same applies to all that are going. One of the cool things with going to Mardon is you get a chance to sit down and talk, laugh and get to know people you only see on the board with posts. It's a lot of fun and I look forward hearing some of the stories.
