| Newbie Joined: Jul 2008 From: Colville,Wa I Ride: 1982 Honda Sabre V45 | Can't wait for the rally this year! I am concerned about space this year though. Concidering that all groups will be attending at the same time. What concerns me is that it is not really being discussed on the web page and that there will be a few surprised riders come rally time! Last edited by mrippon; 02-09-2009 at 06:37 PM.. |

If you new anything about the '82 Sabre you would know that the bike was way ahead of it's time and is the bike that launched the technoligy that is so important today. I bet there are at least five things on your fz that was first introduced on the sabre! P.s. Not sure where you get a cruiser out of '82 Sabre V45 might you be thinking Magna! |

| Newbie Joined: Jul 2008 From: Colville,Wa I Ride: 1982 Honda Sabre V45 | Thanx Brian, The bike was awesome on Marry Hill, although I was only able to run it once due to a bad thermostat (I think?). It was a warm day and we had been running pretty hard in the treasure hunt! This Sabre has almost 60,000 miles on it and can still keep in sight of the new bike's, it's only limit is it's rider! I like to feel the speed ON BOTH WHEEL'S!. Plastic is fast but seems to burn away even faster! Rain,Train or mud I will be there for sure! One of the BEST times I have ever had! |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jan 2009 From: Olympia, WA I Ride: FJR1300AE, BMW, DL650K4 | No carnies this year - They were supposed to leave before the rally started last year but didn't and when they did they tore up the grass. Much more space for tenting this year and 2 barns for inside parking. Steve |

| Pit Crew Joined: Jul 2007 From: Olympia I Ride: K6 GSXR 600 | Well looks like I figured it out. by looking at the schedules for all the groups. It does appear some of the rides are separate on Sat the poker run day the maxiscoot poker run starts at 9am and sportbike/touring/dualsport start their poker run at 10am. Also dual sport and maxi scoot do not have a time listed for marryhill loop road so I guess they are not doing it. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jan 2009 From: Olympia, WA I Ride: FJR1300AE, BMW, DL650K4 | Yep - You figured it out. The suggested rides should be different. The poker runs WILL be different. MaryHill loop will be on Friday (I believe that is what I heard). There will be 2 parking barns and the stage area will be moved to a new area. Something new this year - also will be "guided" seminars. First class room then ride with the instructors. That is what was being planned. Steve Olympia |

| Newbie Joined: Jul 2008 From: Colville,Wa I Ride: 1982 Honda Sabre V45 | With the economy the way it is, there are many folks out there wondering if making the rally is even in the card's. I would be one of those! However the fun I had last year riding the gorge will no doubt bring me there again! I am concered with not only the space for camping but the way rides will be scheduled. I think it's great that scooter's,cruiser's, duro,and sport will all be there at the same time, shoot they could bring big wheel's to the event. I just hope we won't be on the same ride! I wont be able to say I'm sorry for screaming past a scooter who is otherwise enjoying his or her ride. http://www.bikepics.com/members/mrippon/ Last edited by mrippon; 02-23-2009 at 09:01 PM.. |

| Zone Head Joined: Jul 2008 From: Klamath Falls, OR I Ride: 07 CBR 600RR | Maybe it will be packed (being hopeful) We all need something to look forward to. I'm so burned out on the economy thing.. I just need the 4 day escape |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jan 2009 From: Olympia, WA I Ride: FJR1300AE, BMW, DL650K4 | - This year it is even a "5" day event. There will be plenty of camping space - RV parking may be tight - so If you are bringing an RV - reserve your spot. Camping only took up about 1/3 of the available space last year. The Dual Sport and Maxi Scooter - has been much less attended than the Sport Bike/Sport Touring. As stated earlier - the organized rides are separate as well. We will be bringing two bikes - Sport Touring and Dual sport - All we have to do is decide what ride on what day Steve Olympia |

Dont look inside. Just keep adding $10.00 every week. When its time to go to Sport Bike NW, you will have enough! Big Wheels are optional! You dont ride the same loops as the Maxi-Scooters. BTW, My 600cc, H20 Cooled, F.I. Scooter will do 110 mph. Wave when ya go by! | |
