I attended http://www.skagitpowersports.com/”
Skagit Powersports annual open house last weekend.

What a turnout! I’m sure the presence of Supercross Superstar
http://www.nacnac.com Jeremy McGrath was no small factor in
getting people to the event. My son waited in line for
over an hour without complaint to shake Jeremy’s hand and get an
autograph.

The guys from http://starchapter154.org”
Star Chapter 154 were there serving free hamburgers and hot dogs.
Complimentary Rock Star beverages were available and there were
numerous drawings and giveaways; including a
motorcycle.

I chatted with the reps from Dunlop and they made me a sweet deal
on a new rear tire for the VTX. It wasn’t in stock, but was available
in Portland. They will ship it up for me to pick up on Tuesday.

This weekend’s forecast is for much warmer weather. So warm that
the weather service issued an

Special Weather Statement

... Unseasonably hot weather will affect western Washington
from Thursday through Saturday…

After a cool and cloudy Spring in western Washington… a
dramatic shift to hot and sunny weather will take place starting
Thursday. Temperatures will begin to climb on Thursday… as a
strong upper ridge builds over the region and provides sunny skies.
Weak northerly onshore flow will keep temperatures from getting
really hot. Still… high temperatures across much of western
Washington will be in the 70s and lower 80s.

Temperatures are expected to reach 80 degrees on Saturday.
Definitely a prime riding opportunity. Star Chapter 154 is organizing
a ride on Saturday departing from Skagit Powersports at 1:00. I know I
mention this group a lot, but you know, they ride a lot and that’s
what it’s all about.

Get out and enjoy the sunshine. Be safe and remember to stay
hydrated.
