Nope, every time I remember to do it I am already busy, or I forget because of this damn forum!
I'll add you to the list, Kit. Don't feel obligated to ride somewhere to take pics, it doesn't even have to be motorcycle related. Just pics of his visit. I will get the list posted shortly.

Dano PA (hand off or group ride with Shano22) Shano22 PA Seattle_Chris WA CRXTrek MO Snake LA tabogon VA (Plan VA group ride in July) GFortune IN RC IN (Needs by Aug 25th) Scott1620 DE dimefied NJ Kitdog NM Komohana HI RC needs him by Aug 25th, so someone might need to cut it short, or possibly wait until after her turn if it gets close to that time. I also plan on taking him for a ride in VA with a few of the closer members before I leave to CT which should be in Aug so I will probably take him for a few days in July and we can shift people around as things come up. Komohana, I'm trying to save you for last because no matter what time of year you get him, it will be riding weather.

Wow, doesn't look like you have any rain forests planned yet. If he can get to Seattle before mid October I can show him why rain for over half the year is worth it. Heck, I'd even be willing to drive to any bordering states (Oregon/Idaho/Maybe Western Montana/B.C.). I'm always looking for a good excuse to take a road trip.

Okay got a few pics of the Dude down at PPG Place, couldn't ride to work had to cage it because I had a unemployment thing for a former employee. I am going to look and see if I can pick up a decent size flash drive to put the full resolution pics on and it can travel with the dude so everyone can put theirs on that way when he gets home you will have good pics. So here they are:

Ok I got the flash drive a 4GB one at work for cheap, so the dudes travels can be better documented. Here are 2 new pics, gonna take him for a ride tomorrow to work and get a overview of the city then waiting for shane to pick him up.
My daughters(hence why I don't get to ride as often as I like) decided to take him for a ride on their ride. I let them hit second gear so there were some grins there: Just a pic of his riding spot: |

Whats the schedule looking like? I ask because I'm going on Vacation first two weeks of July from Seattle, through Idaho to Bonneville Flats/Salt Lake City Utah, around to various national parks in Utah, down to the Grand Canyon, then Vegas, Short Cutting through Death Valley, then back to Seattle via whatever route looks good at the moment. I should be in AZ by the 10th.
Don't know when your ride is during July though Tobogon. If it works out, maybe do a handoff to Kitdog depending on what part of NM you're in. Chris |

Whoots. I would have mentioned it sooner, but it didn't look like it was gonna work out. We're understaffed at work (as always, cheaper to run a skeleton crew ya' know) so it was HARD to get coverage for two weeks. But it worked out! WHoots! Sorry to steal your time CRX.

Josh this is an incredible project you're doing for your daughter, I bet she's getting a kick out of all the pictures of the Dude, especially Dan's pictures in downtown Pittsburgh.

Fathers day ride
Ok here are the pics today from the ride. Also I made the Dude a life member of the University of Pittsburgh Alumni. lol
Starting out the day overlooking the ride into Connellsville, PA Here he is at the entrance sign for Fallingwaters, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house in the woods. from website: Nothing you have read or learned about Fallingwater can compare to the experience of visiting in person. The Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, nestled within the lush, wooded Bear Run Nature Reserve, is a timeless monument to organic architecture at its absolute best. Look Dude found Yogi Bear at the jellystone campground. Here's the Dude at Ohiopyle: I think he had fun on his visit to Pennsylvania and he said he's ready for his LONG trip from Seattle to the southwest with his next rider. |

Awesome pics. Looks like your neck of the woods is really pretty too!
Theirs a couple Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in Washington too. I'll try to get a pic of one w/the dude. Maybe we can get a whole theme going. Theirs supposed to be over 400 of his buildings still standing! http://architecture.about.com/librar...right-list.htm Lol, I just noticed, does dudes feet say "I wanna be" "On Vacation"? That rocks. I think I may have just found inspiration for my next tattoo. |

Ok the Dude is all boxed up and ready to go to the post office on my lunch, I will be sending him with either a tracking # or certified so he doesn't get lost enroute. I suggest that future travel for him be via trackable shipping due to his sensitive nature.
