as reported on FJRowners.com : 
Reports will be coming in soon..., this just gets the ball rolling!
Misty (my '03 FJR) was jumpin' with anticipation the last several days as the event was about to unfold. It was just a few miles south of here that she became one of the first U.S. bound Feejers to set "foot" on Washington tarmac, as I ordered her on the first hour of the first day of the first year of the Priority Del. Prog. She was grinning, mirror to mirror.... It was she, who Sharp and Silverbullet (and Jenny) first rode while waiting for their Feejers, and her first ride with a neighbor to the north from Canada (FJR-EH) was up the Mt. Baker Hwy. She was in good company!!!! Yes, even the spirit of Nocchi was remembered and present!
My episode started out by meeting the Peak to Peak "brigade" on Thur. in the Mt. St. Helens area and running them (or did they run me?) up through Mt. Rainier and up through the untrafficed foothills of the Cascades, totally bypassing the mess around Seattle. The catch phrase "one good turn deserves another" was most applicable here and riders were assured that their tires would wear evenly, sidewall to sidewall. I can't say enough about the good naturedness of these Calif. guys and gals and it was a great joy and priviledge to have shared the 12 hour day with them!
Weather could not be any greater for the PNW area, sunny and hot the entire weekend. Having been alll over the country for many-a-year, I am re- reminded how awsome and spectacular the scenery is up here. Nothing rivals it and I'm sure you'll have pics and reports attesting to this.
A special thanks and "tip of the hat" to all who had a part in this: Sharp and wonderful wife, Silverbullet and Jenny, FJR-Eh, and H-Marc as well was present, one of the cornerstones of the FJR community. Don't hesitate to thank these people, and Warchild as well, who helped behind the scenes.
I ramble on, so..., I'll leave it to the rest of the attendees to share with the community.
It's been great! Roamer
