One of these days you'll see us (blue RT, two up, with matching blue BRP helmets). We have a place out in the Shelton area that we visit every other weekend or so, although we've only driven the Spyder out there once so far (when we did our 'round-the-Olympics trip a couple of weeks ago).

[murphybrown]

Next week I will be heading over North Cascades hiway...eventually ending up at Friday Harbor...also will be ryding around the peninsula....in case the snow comes early then I can get back on this side of the state by dropping down to Columbia River and traveling back that way....sooooo look for the silver RT with flags painted on front fenders and other special graphics. Raining today, but raingear takes care of that....:thumbup: then I bought me one of those bajaron suits...so ready for rain & cold!!!:clap:

You missed the Blue RT just north of Shelton. I was out there this weekend, staying at our place at Lake Limerick. I rode out Saturday morning and back Sunday afternoon, 100 miles each way. Beautiful weather for a ryde!

So, there's several of them floating around the area, it seems. We're gonna have to round 'em all up one of these days!

That was me! We finally saw each other! :clap: Lise and I were on the blue RT, with our friend Julie on the red one. Julie was taking us on a day of glorious backroads ryding on that side of the pond today. We had just stopped in our place in Shelton before heading north on Hwy 3. Here's a pix while we were stopped.

I thought it might be you; it’s funny how a split second decision makes the difference on what or who you see. I would normally take the turn offonto Hwy 106 to union, but I decided to go the Hwy 3 route and because of thatwe crossed paths.
My wife and I were just talking about how few spyders we seeon the road. Friday we ran to Oregonfor a 400 mile round trip and didn’t see one spyder. Oregonwasn’t enough so on Saturday we ran a couple hundred more around tawana side ofcanal, had lunch in Seabeck (tons of bald eagles there)
Give me a heads up next time in town so maybe we can hookup.

Will do! I had no idea when we started the day we'd even be down there - thought Julie was taking us up to Sequim. But she had a friend (who was on the Harley behind us) who wanted to ride with us, and she was in Belfair, so we ended up going down south instead. Since the route took us right past Lake Limerick, where our place is, we stopped there for a look-see. After we passed you, we rode out 302, then circled north on back roads through Gig Harbor and into Port Orchard, before finally heading home via the Kingston ferry.

Next time we run out there with the Spyder, I'll drop you a note. If the weather is nice next weekend, we might ryde out.

[Radthorne]

Well, it wasn't me! :doorag: But I did see a black RT, two up, going the other way as I rode home from work yesterday, in Redmond. As usual, when two Spyders pass, the casual motorcycle wave turns into a high-five wave. :clap:

Hey Everyone,
A couple changes to SRA's Columbia River Chapter's summer schedule.
1. Thursday, June 21st, the weatherman indicates it is the best day this week for a ride! Kee and I are meeting at Tully’s Coffee at 7710 NE 5th Ave, off the 78th Street exit off I-5 in Vancouver, WA (west side of 78th Street past LA Fitness) at 8:30AM, departing at 9:00, up I-5 to Pro Caliber, Hwy 30 to Astoria, Hwy 202 to Olney (stamp our RCMC Grand Tour books), following Hwy 202 to I-26 and back to Portland/Vancouver area. Anyone interested in joining us??
2. Saturday June 23rd, due to a strong chance of rain, we are canceling the ride to Tillamook Air Museum and will reschedule on another day.
3. Sunday, July 1st, Meet at Portland, OR Elmer’s in Delta Park at 9:30AM for meet/eat/ride and depart after breakfast for a ride (weather permitting destination to be decided).
Hope you can make it!

[joet82]

I went on a short little ryde last weekend and for most of the trip, I kept seeing 6 Spyders in my rear view mirrors. I tried my best, but no matter what I did, I couldn't shake them.

[spyderman051]

I finally got my wife to ride with me some place on Sat. around . Left Yelm AT 9:30am and drove out to Lake Quinault Lodge for the weekend via 507 to 12 then to Hwy 8 to hoquium to 101 to the lake and it was nice most of the way but after we arrived at the lodge around 11 it started to rain and didn't stop til we came home on the 26th I was for her Birthday.. That rain forest is sure a great place to visit especially on a spyder.
