Re: 2005
nice looking bike, welcome to the forum. I was looking at getting a 2005 but they gave me a great deal on an '02 with 56 miles on it and remainder of the factory warranty.

Re: 2005
Come now Vincent, it is well known that the dark (midnight) blue is the fastest. It has something to do with the way the air molecules bounce off of it (vibration frequencies and the like). If you do a Google search you will be able to find info about a study that was conducted in Latvia some years ago by the PDBL (Pro-Dark Blue League). Very informative 
Now, that being said, I am told that black is a close second (but second nonetheless)

I guess the sign I saw at Starbucks: "PDBL meeting Wednesday at 8pm"
was probably for the "Professional Dart Board League".

I recently saw a piece done by a travel show on Washington and Oregon. The host got to ride with a group of bikers out on one of their rare ride days. They were going really fast to get done before the rain started again. :wink:
BTW just how is the riding there?
Oregon and Washington are on my list of possible relocals (is that a word?).

Re: 2005
Yes. It rains...frequently....but all that water makes for a lush environment. Plus, we have spectacular summers. Never too hot, rarely above 90F. The roads are great, I live in the burbs east of Seattle and have quick access to some fantastic mountain roads that go up and over the Cascades. Plus, once you get over the mountains it is High Desert and usually sunny and dry most of the year. I grew up in SoCali and have lived all over the west side of the States and I would never live anywhere else now that I am here. Quick access to Canada too, only a 2 hr ride to Vancouver. I am only 1.5 hrs from a spectacular ski resort too, so I get my winter boarding in. I do miss the warm ocean though, surfing in a 5/4mm wetsuit gets old. But then, thats what vacations in Latin America are for!

Re: 2005
Its really never "cold". I have never seen it dip below freezing for more than two days. I would say a winter average is 40 or so and a summer average of 80 or so. Oh and btw, Kauai got more rain last month than we have ever gotten in an entire year.

Re: 2005
The rain has been VERY bad this year. We have had continual flash floods and land slides, not to mention all the people killed when the dam in Kuai broke. Most rain ever recorded here.
I hope to visit Oregon in June to do some reconnaissance. I'm currently checking the job and housing situation there and North Carolina.

I can honestly say, all of my explosives experience comes without any training whatsoever.

Has any one ever seen a blue or red B-117?
