Dry Falls was my backyard growing up. Still go by it several times a year during hunting season.

I went early to Auburn's place to get primo parking for my totally rad sled. Thus, I will sleep to a reasonable hour tomorrow and show up at the crack of 10:00. For whoever intends to bring me coffee upon my arrival, I prefer my coffee with one packet of yellow in it, 1.5" of space between the gun'l and the coffee line, no drips running down the side, and one stir stick. Thank you very much.

GREAT -- weather, people, food, conversation, bikes, and turnout. Many thanks to Auburnfjr and family for inviting us to their lovely home. Enjoyed seeing all of you.

The best part? Saving a piece of pie from the evil clutches of the PIEMAN!

 
Great turnout today, nice to see new faces and old ones and food was excellent as usual.

Thank you Bryan and Marissa for hosting another great tech meet.

You want the stir stick where?

Really enjoyed finally meeting you guys, and thanks very, very much to AuburnFJR and family for hosting this. BTW, your spaghetti is awesome. I mean, over-the-top good :)

I'd love to know who poured that driveway - it belongs in the movie 'Inception'. I've never seen a real Escherian stairwell, but this came really, really close. I'm very happy that I parked at the top of the cliff above your house.

Highlights:

Dave, I've never seen someone break a piece of PVC pipe with a chopsaw. Impressive :) Your bike is cool, but really - starting it to check the suspension?
Food: Outstanding.

Coffee Spill: You avoided all the nearby tools and the lift. Well done!

Farkles: One big reason I came today, and I was not disappointed. I need re-funding for LED lights, throttle lock and heated grips.

I also took note of how many of you have GP suspension ( had this done last year - best upgrade on the planet). A lot.

Duane, thanks for the intros.

I'll see you all in the fall. Thanks again!

Most excellent day, many thanks to Bryan & Marissa for opening their home to the gang again!

Great turnout, good to see the regulars and new faces too! Lots of those awesome GEN III machines.

Pics...cuz yup, it happened!!

Meeting at $5bucks in Carnation, due to size split into two groups here for the trek to Auburn. Special tanks to dagwood for treating the group to coffee!

Panman took the "fast" group and I led the "slow" group along with the designated sweeper!

Don't ask...

Can't thank you two enough.

Also have to saying good thing about this FJR crew. Lots and Lots of knowledge and helping hands. Thanks everyone.

I think we had 45 people and 37 FJR's.

Oh and those stone rear tires are a bitch to put on.

Looks like you guys had another great time at Bryan and Marrisa's, am so sad I couldn't make it. Maybe next time. Thank you B and M for putting this on, not only as a tech meet but for the social event also. I look forward to the next time.

 
Bryan and Marissa. Thank you for your generosity and being such great hosts. You are Awesome.

It was great to see and meet old and new peeps. Thanks escapefjrtist and Panman for organizing the group ride in. Also thanks Dagwood for the coffee; hope to return the gesture in the future.

 
I just wanted to add in a Big Thank you to Marisa and Brian for this get together. I enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing what they have done with their bikes. Thank you Brian for the tire change and teaching me as it was accomplished. I do see what they say about taking it easy on new tires till they are warn in. I look forward to seeing everyone again in the future. Tell then, ride safe.
