After months of enduring the oh so infamous Seattle rains and digging through my RWB and finding all the little kinks that needed to work out (lets just say whoever last worked on it either was in one helluva rush, or had no clue what he was doin...  umph) I was finally able to get her out and go on my first group ride with some friends from my church.  We decided to go explore the hills above the Green River Valley up towards Enumclaw and have breakfast at a great little place off the beaten path.  Needless to say, it was a morning well spent.  It also was a great way to fly the colors for the day (subtle or not, you decide)...


One of these bikes is not like the others...



Eating at Charlies...





Now thats a breakfast  happy1


Ready to ride home  thumb

No roadside pics at this time...  I shall strive to make amends in a later post  mol

Still kicking my self for not buying that bike....  When I get my Red coat on we must hook up, that's a great ride you did. How many miles ?  Did you add some S/S lines up front  think2

Did about 70 miles round trip, and yes I added S/S for both brake and clutch as part of the winter maintenance.  Much, much better brake and clutch feel.
