Kitsap Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 The PNW crew arrived in Wenatchee ready to trade greenbacks for pork backs at Dave's BBQ in Wenatchee. Alas Dave had troubles of some sort and with our stomachs grumbling all set off across the river for Mexican food. A few pics of the day; I'm sure others will post more interesting shots.

mstrang Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 It was a blast to reconnect after a long winter and spring and meet some new riders from around the state Out of the 15 or so bikes present 5 (!) were the new generation K bikes--we really *are* the NW Hoons! Four new bikes were due to crashes within the last year Pat's (USAF1) K1200LT; Mike_F's R1200GS; Ken55's K1200S; Wade's (Kitsap) R1200RT. Pat (USAF1) and Kitsap Carlos and Darrel (Slowflyn) Ken55 Rod (Mr_Yuk) and Julie's new bikes. Proving no garage is complete without two of these! Doug Quinnell arrives on his 'classic' K. I'll always love the K1200RS Link to comment

Ken55 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hello, Just wanted to write that I had a great time on this ride. The weather was beautiful as was the scenery ( when it wasnt streaming into a blur - Too bad the Q wasnt ready but the alternative was good. Carlos and I took Highway 2 home for some enjoyable scenerary through Tumwater Canyon. The volume of water coming down was powerful and impressive to say the least. Wish I had some pics. As usual I wished I had had more time to chat with everyone. Good to see familiar faces and get to know some new folks. Looking forward to seeing everyone at John Day. What a great Saturday trip. Cheers! Ken Link to comment
Mr_Yuk Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It sure was good to see everyone again. The disappointment at not getting the BBQ was way overshadowed by all the great people. Besides, the Mexican food was really good. Didn't get to talk with enough folks, though. What a great group, and it keeps changing and still stays great. Missed Doc and Reed and Fasterpill and Steve K and Steve R and ... though. How does Pat (USAF1) take great pictures while he is riding? Does he hold the camera in his teeth? Doug, have a great sabbatical this summer! Everyone have a great time at John Day. Rod & Julie Link to comment
Fasterpill Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 OK, Rod, now I'm extremely green with envy!!!! Someday the new K12GT is on my list, but meanwhile life is extremely good. Got our house on the market, but as I was cleaning and packing this weekend I was thinking of you's guys and the rides/fellowship I was missing. See you guys at Chief Joseph, I hope!! Link to comment
Sputnik Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 A great day even without BBQ. Doug Quinell and I rode back on Hwy 2, absolutely gorgeous going through Tumwater Canyon. A brisk pace, and Doug didn't even make me stop once for a picture opp! Can't wait for John Day! Link to comment
Doug 55 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 re: V-Strang: Doug Quinnell arrives on his 'classic' K. LOL, at least the tires were brand new (even if the bike and most definitely the rider are not) Nice job on the pix Mike, thanks for taking and posting them ! re: Das Gaulston "Doug Quinnell and I rode back on Hwy 2, absolutely gorgeous going through Tumwater Canyon. A brisk pace, and Doug didn't even make me stop once for a picture opp!" Nooooo time for a photo-op trying to keep your tail light somewhere in sight Glad we didn't have to stop-op with the WSP given some of the peak velocities re: the rest of y'all Thanks for being there !!! Viva John Day PS LOL, there must be something we can make out of Dave's being closed at high noon on a Saturday ... bombard their mailbox with PETA literature and organic tofu catalogs ?!? Tell the local HD clan Dave offers free grub to Milwaukee Iron every Sat. 12:00 sharp or ?!? PPS Also need to offer a belated but well deserved "Thanks" (and Happy Birthday !) to Mike F for getting the ball rolling on this ! Link to comment
