| Investigates Alternative Destinations Joined: Jul 2005 From: Stanwood I Ride: Faster 2-up than most by themselves | Depends? In the corners or on the straights. Corners are double recommended  0.. Depending on the corner of course. Some are just double. Straights are the speed limit.. Or there about. I always wait up anyway. Pace is not to worry about. There's a time and place for everything. Even wheelies so I've found.  |

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jun 2008 From: Renton I Ride: VFR 750 / RC51 / CL360 | Hmmm... Looking to get the new RC out and stretch her legs. Which direction are you going, clockwise or counter? The reason I ask is because Black Diamond is a joke right now. |

 Maybe hit up Sunrise on the way up. That's a cool little side trip.
For sure. Ride your own ride. Preach it LIVE IT. You'll survive alot longer that way. I'll be 2-up, but that doesn't mean I'm much slower. | ||

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jun 2008 From: Renton I Ride: VFR 750 / RC51 / CL360 | Guess I was wrong. Black Diamond rd. is open all the way up to Enumclaw now. DJ, You have any secret backroads you plan on running other than the basic slab variety? |

 We're driving down.. Riding from RMC.. WE Ain't stupid.. OF course that's open for interpretation.
 I used to live in Renton (Maple Valley Hwy/ Petrovitsky).. What do you think? I know alot of backroads. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in I guess. | ||

| Training Wheels Joined: Jun 2009 From: Des Moines I Ride: Kawasaki Z1000 | I might be in. It depends on how I feel that day. We've been doing a lot of work for the Interurban place job and I'm doing OT on Saturday. I really want to go but we'll see. As an alternative to Stevens Canyon being closed, is NFR 52 paved? It pops right down on 12 from Westside road. |

LOl.. Ya but it's a rough little critter. Sumtin Creek road. That's the one a bunch (about 40) of us got seperated on a couple of years ago. Something about a fire?  Eh, 410-123-12-7 and a few backroads in between. | |

I may be old, but you're slow.  Says so in your profile.. Does this mean you're gonna be there bright and early with us? There might even be some room in the trailer..  | |

Slow enough that your mother loves to ride on the back. As for Ranier, I sincerely doubt it. I've been obligated to help the GF with some volunteer stuff, and she'd be royally pissed if I bailed to go kick it on the greyhair express. | |

She could probably ride circles around both of us.. Wouldn't catch her riding behind anyone.
J/K Better take care of the G/F if you wanna keep her for any length of time. BTW, the grey hair is EARNED.. Don't forget that one. | ||

| Investigates Alternative Destinations Joined: Jul 2005 From: Stanwood I Ride: Faster 2-up than most by themselves | Postponed..
Thunder storms and Rainier are NOT FUN!! We did that on the Yakima ride a couple years back. Gotta postpone this one. Will reschedule later in the month... Probably a couple of weeks. The G/F really wants to do this ride. | |

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jun 2008 From: Renton I Ride: VFR 750 / RC51 / CL360 | Ok... Jeff Renner is an F'n prick! I'm watching the doppler and I still don't see anything that would keep us from riding tomorrow. Of course I'm a little faced after taking my wife out for our fourteenth anniversary. If it ain't raining when I wake up I may still try to hit the road. |
