Landman,
Thanks for checking out the NW Boards as well. We really would like to get more involved here in our area, and maybe next summer it would be good for us to plan an additional day of riding after the National Rally. I think it would be hard for most to get together seeing how far spread out we are. Maybe some on the I-5 corridor can touch base, but those--like you--from further away, we'll just have to keep in touch with through the forum.
I know that many would love to see pics of your bike, so when you get the chance, look at the following thread:

Again, glad to have you aboard.
