Greetings from Seattle

Fahrvergnügen · 11-24-2005, 05:51 PM

Just checking in and thought I'd say hello to my riding buddies. Had an exhilarating trip up the CA and OR coast to Portland and finally made it to Seattle. The magic numbers are: 80 - 20 - 1 - 101 - 6 - 5. Sunshine all the way! Took the week off and decided to put some more miles on the bike. Pictures to follow upon my return. If I'll return, that is: I kinda feel like doing this for a while ... Always wanted to go to Alaska after all ...

Aren't road trips grand

Great pics as usual Markus! Looks like you're having fun. Stay warm & safe.

Markus, great to hear the weather gods were shining on you up the coast. You were very forunate! Excellent timing for a trip to Oregon!

Thanks for the sneak previews of photos. Great shots! Enjoy your stay and we'll look forward to a full report on your return.

Hey Markus:
Some great photos. I await anxiously for the rest of your photos and details of your ride. Enjoy you lucky dog.

Ride safe and enjoy Markus, photos looked great.

VFR2X · 11-24-2005, 10:02 PM

Nice photos. love the one looking through the tunnel and the one with the farm house where the fog is clearing, in fact I'd pick either one for a fall calender photo.

From Olympia, welcome to the neighborhood

Nice pics Markus, but wrong time of year to go to Alaska unless you travel via South America...even Beemer heated grips aren't much good at 40 below...

Great Pics! The Pacific Northwest is just beautiful. I don´t know about the weather, but if its still good up there, go for highway 20 through North Cascades Natl. Park to Grand Coulee. That´s a nice route.
Have fun and drive carefully!

Great photos Markus!

John is right, head south to Alaska. Should satisfy your need to ride there!

Ride Safe, looking forward to your ride report!
