There are usually anywhere from five to seven thousand bikes attending each year, but only a handful of sidecar rigs! Sidecarists in Western Washington, mark your calendars!

Hi Dave,
You want to meet up someplace and ride in together again, this year?
Tony
Yup, I sent you an e-mail.

A little late on this but I was at the end of the group at the Sears parking lot and counted 11 outfits including my own, mostly Urals but all mixed in with the 5000 or so solo bikes. Was a great event and I loved the cheering crowds the entire length to the capitol.

Better put on your snow tires and long johns too. I just heard from a
friend in Raymond that it's been snowing for 5 hours and he also sent
a picture of the accumulation in his back yard.
Have fun, I attended the big Skidrow Toy Run in L.A. last Sunday with
about 2,000 others. There were 4 sidecar rigs in the event.

Sheesh, just realized that today is the 20th so you probably already
know about the snow and cold weather..........

Hi Archon!
If we saw ya' we waved! Managed to pretty much stay together, Dave and I, parked the rigs together, at least..heheh... We had fun walking through the crowds, then riding the streets - must've been hard on the clutch being at the back of the pack!
Concho - yes, we got some snow later in the month... not during this run though, it was sunny! LOT's of folks turned out that likely would've stayed home (custom bikes and such) if the weather had been even slightly as bad as last year. 8^D
