I really want to meet up with another SH in my area to compare the way my bike runs. I am a little worried about carb sync and CCT, but I might just be paranoid from reading about it all the time on the forum. If your intrested shoot me a PM when and where and I will be there. Im available......right now!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I went for a 90 mile (round trip) jaunt from Vancouver up the 503 to Merwin/Yale Resevoir on Sunday. What an awesome day! Next weekend is going to be beautiful as well. I don't know the area that well, so if any of you Portland area SH riders want to meet up, I would love to follow you around wherever you ride!
I am in love with this bike, and I don't know anyone that rides.

i'm booked the 26th. could get out friday PM ( after 4pm ) or possibly sunday the 27th. route would depend on time. the run to cougar is fun but if you don't mind a bit of slab, going down hwy 14 and loop from carson is a real treat !
if you want to get together with others:
http://www.pnwriders.com ( good place & usually moderate pace )
or
http://sportbikes.ws ( where the hooligans are
)

NEVER !!!!!
it's better to take 503 south into amboy - you can still run to woodland but on the southern route, but again there are good roads , towards yacolt, that will take you into battleground.

i like to get my head around the ride before going...
route is normally set by the time available & pace set by those involved.
how long have you guys been riding ? ( ie. smell the daisies or remember to breath

Ya, I can vouche for him. His bike doesn't even run right, and he left me behind. My excuse is twofold:
1) He knew the road like the back of his hand.
2) He has been riding his SH for 35,000+ more miles than I have, and he has I don't even know how much more experience riding than I do.
Thats all. If it weren't for those things, I would have been right with him. Great fun anyway. We had a big day of troubleshooting.
Thanks for the short ride. Nice view from up there.

9:30 Perfect! I got my new tires on, and I am chomping at the bit.
Can I invite a non-Superhawk? There is one guy I know that rides a Ninja 600. I haven't ridden with him yet, but I met him through my wife, and I told him I would go on a ride with him sometime.
