Just a reminder that BackFire is tomorrow night in Ballard, down by Hilliard's brewery.



I'll be down there with my dad, who rode his 1947 Nimbus all the way here from Michigan. I might be there on a TS400, but I think the jetting might be too lean. Come drink some beer and check out tons of bikes!

Gonna see if I can make the CB400F rideable tonight.

Whats the sweet spot time for showing up to backfire? Their website says 4 to 10 but obviously most people don't hang out for 6 hours. I was going to try and hit the gym after work, will the party be over if I get there at 6:30?

There will still be lots happening at 6:30. Parking may be a bitch to find.

Alright bike is insured and I finally moved to Seattle proper from Bellevue. In one day (my first ride) I went up and over the lake, suffered a broken clutch cable while cruising on I-5, had some motos stop and check on me and let me know about Backfire happening that night, got a tow, all shops closed, tow dude was a bike mechanic and offered to drop me off at Backfire and help me replace it.

So anyways with that level of cursed'ness out of the way, let's go ride places.

That’s a pretty epic and awesome day. Let’s ride.
