Wow there were a lot of bikes out yesterday!!
Walked up to Broadway to get some grub and counted 53 bikes either riding or parked in a little less than 30 minutes. They were everywhere!! Ran into Kie (not literally) up there. Any other forum members tooling around Cap Hill yesterday afternoon?

Yes there were! I rode around Gig Harbor yesterday and there were bikes everywhere. Especially down on the waterfront, I basically had to keep my hand out the entire time in a constant wave because they just kept coming .

my buddy Pete and I did the Alki loop then hit green lake to people watch. Both places were packed with happy people. It was an incredible day. I can't believe I waited this long in between bikes.

I had about 40 riders wave at me from accross the median on 167. I guess finally getting out makes a rider happy. I mean, they were "way" over on the other side of the hwy. I was going on by, like I usually do on freeways.

I saw one Harley rider with a German style helmet, and he had a ski mask on with the image of a skeleton. Too much for me. Oh, he did not wave!

I think in the early spring when a lot are out, I am going to get a manequine arm and position it so it looks like I am always giving the wave, so I don't make my left arm tired!

I was just at the end of Green Valley at hwy 18 and a group of riders were pulled over by a LEO. I took it really easy for the whole stretch. Upper GVR is wet and lots O gravel in the center.

On Sunday after more yardwork: From Renton I headed up Lk Wa Blvd through Leshi, Arboretum, across the Montlake bridge and on to Fremont. From there I went out Leery to the Ballard bridge and across to to the Fishermans ramp and around Magnolia. Then down the waterfront to the Harbor Island bridge. The HI bridge was swung open and I sat there in the shadow for about 20 min. waiting for it to open for traffic again. Went North around Alki then over the top back to the HI bridge which was swung open. Again. In the shadows. Not again. Went back and took the high bridge back to 1st south and to the Coleman Dock where I sat in the shade again waiting for the boat back to Bainbridge.

The sun was out, but WOO it was cold. For some reason I didn't see more than a dozen bikes or so. Nothing at Leshi. Nobody but pushbikes on the blvd. Saw one up near Discovery park South exit. Two parked by Spuds at Alki and One leather Harley guy at the boat that went out of his way to ignore me completely.

Nice to see others on the board do the slow cruise on Lake Washington Drive when they can't (or don't want to) get out of the city.

I certainly like to throw it in before or after work just to work the annoyance of commuting out of my system.

I went out on Green Valley Rd toward Flaming Geyser park, went up the hill into Enumclaw, thru Cumberland, Ravensdale, Black Diamond and back through Auburn.
I left my house about 11:30 and didn't see many bikes out at first but by the time I go to Four Corners there were a bunch of bikes.
The weather was good timing because I just got my new Yosh stainless slip on. It looks and sounds bad ass
It was freakin cold though...can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer. I'll be up for some different rides.

It was a beautiful day! Got both bikes & my sweeties car washed. Was going to ride around on my FJR but I discovered that the clutch handle was broke! :(

Anyway, took the Zx14 out inside. Rode Ben Howard, saw some PNWRiders in Sultan, then headed east to the Index Cafe for something warm. Smokies out BIG Time with a trap at the gravel pit outside Gold Bar.

Then got stuck in west-bound bumper to bumper traffic all the way back! :(

Did meet a guy out on his very nice Aprilia Falco with bad-ass sounding 2Bro pipes!.

Oh, the stock pipes on my ZX'er are heavenly... very sneaky quiet!

Ride safe.

Yep. Very nice out yesterday. I rode out on 530. I nearly froze my buns off coming back around 4PM. There was still snow on the ground beside the road.
