Ride To Birkenfield



We do email rides at the drop of a hat...That is the way they work.. Today's ride will take us to Birkenfield. If you follow our blog you will know that we go here quite often for lunch.

The weather today was cloudy and it rained a little during the night but the road was dry and the sun was coming out.











We have some new folks riding along with us and some new bikes. I thought I would introduce them to you. This is Harry's new 2010 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. He just got it and it only has 100 miles on it. It's the maiden voyage today. What a nice looking machine.
















Three Ultra Classics's Two Peace Officer Special Edition's (Black 2009/2008) and that's Tim's 2007 Ultra Classic on the right.












Yep, that is Don's Goldwing.. Hey Don, come back... Guess he did not want to be in the picture.



















This beauty belongs to Dave and Mary. It is two weeks old but already has over 1000 miles on it. Dave can't seem to get enough time in the saddle.












Jim and Anne stopped by during the coffee clutch in their motorhome. They were off to a RC fly-in












This is Mary. What is she showing us besides the matching red and black leather ensemble.





















Oh yeah! The matching nails, which was an exact match for color and pin stripping of their new bike... I have to say this is the first time I have seen something like this...














This is a very cool shot of Harry's new Ultra. Wire smoothies look real cool!














We stop at the Elk View point near Jewel on our way to Birkenfield.














Hey Tim! How about posing for the camera?

















I finally got Don to settle down for a shot..













Uh Oh.... Yours truly... Thanks to Don who returned the favor...













Harry giving us his non smile bad boy look... Your not fooling anybody Harry... We know you can smile.. Harry is new to our group and is welcome to tag along anytime.

Finally a pic of Mike... Mike and Harry ride allot together and have recently joined us on some email rides. Nice ride Mike!
















I should have got some pictures once the food was on the table. Well I guess I was just too busy making it disappear. (left to right) Don, Dick and Tim

We finish our lunch and head for home. We take Hwy 47 to Clatskanie. Then Hwy 30 back home. it was a good ride. Good company and food what else could we ask for...
See you down the road.
