RE: Hello from Alaska - 2

Bike purchased. I will pick it up when I fly down to Seattle on July 8th and then have a week+ to ride it before I fly back to Alaska on the 18th. Then back down to Seattle in late August for a ride on the RS to the Columbia River Gorge area with some friends.

Had to promise my wife I would sell the 1150R this year, no excuses accepted. I really hate parting with motorcycles, bicycles or camera gear and usually she doesn’t hold me to a promise like this one. I think this time she will.

Hi Gary,
You’ve got one of the good ones! You’ll have fun.

I’ll be picking up my RS from South Sound Motorcycles this Saturday with just a 3 day “Trip Permit” from the Washington DMV. I hope to get the Alaska title and registration completed remotely from Seattle while I am there so I can legally ride it in WA and OR for more than just 3 days. I have to fly back to Alaska on July 18th.

Either way, it will be great to have this bike to ride in the months and years ahead.

Picked up my 2016 RS from South Sound Motorcycles in Fife WA and then spent the next 8 days riding it and my R1150R. The RS is of course a huge change and improvement from the 2003 1150R. Here's a photo of the RS on a WA ferry. It was my last ride of the week as I headed from Fauntleroy to Southworth to store it at my friend's place in Port Orchard. I'll be back down at the end of August for a ride to the Columbia River Gorge and the Sound Rider "Rally in the Gorge".
