Anyone make it to see Eric Bostrom in Seattle?

Eric was in Portalnd on Friday and in Seattle yesterday. WAY nice guy.. had the chance to talk to him for about an hour about all manor of things (not just bikes). Got some good inside info on 'entertainment' in Las Vegas since that's where he lives when not on the road racing and such.

Had a blast. Saw lots of poeople I know there, saw a few CBRs including a new Repsol 1k so I know there were Firebladers there, just don't know if there were any on the list.

Got some t-shirts signed and a picture of him riding (OK, sitting on) my bike. I hope he does well this coming season.

Cool photo Holeshot! Sounds like fun - I wish I could have made it. I hope you've had some rideable weather over there. The last few days here have actually been up around 50 and sunny. I got to ride yesterday and will probably take a brief ride this afternoon too.

Oh man have we ever had some ridable weather! We had some really heavy rains a week or so back and it washed most of the gravel off the roads. Yesterday was pretty nice but this coming week they say will be sunny and warm.. about like spring!

While there I had DucSea fix my botched chain job (I left too many links in and had already returne the chain rivet tool before my dub-arse had figured it out).

It's a long haul from Boise to Seattle... so that's not a big surprise. You know he might be heading out to other parts of the PNW... it seems that DNA has him on some sort of jaunt.. that or the local dealers here like to throw these events..

The rest of the pics I have sized so far. Too bad the hottie they had there (Jasmine) was surrouned by letchers all day long and I could not get a good shot of her ultra-long legs and incredibly mini skirt...

The dealer here had their "Superbike Weekend" on Friday and Saturday, with new '05 999's and a 749. No 2005 999R other than the Toseland-Rep (which is really more of an '04). Yummy.
