Default Rode 450 miles today

And damn I am sore.

My friend and I started down in Olympia, Wa and rode all the way to Neah Bay, which is about the Northwestern most tip of WA. Then down Highway 101 back home. Good ride, but I got places hurting I didn't know I had! [:-]

And you didn't invite me....HOW RUDE!
LOL j/k
I done the Neah Bay ride yet. I have heard its nice. I am planning on scoping out Chuckanut Drive soon while the weather is nice. Never done that in the summer, I usually save that run for a nice day in fall. The view of all the different colored leaves on that ride is incredible. Can be a bit chilly but usually a good ride.

I feel ya on the "sore in places i didn't know I had" statement though.
I rode with my brother and a friend of ours from Everet WA over to Sunlakes State Park in Eastern Washington (non stop). Not exactly sure how many miles it was (150 Miles or so) but, yeah, my rear felt like I had passed out at a Frat party and had a cruel joke played on me involving a toilet plunger and some ICY-HOT.

I was riding a Honda Interceptor 550 at the time. Let me just say, I love my CBR!

Where are you at? Are you actually from Everett? I am using the Fox Launch padded shorts under my Icon jeans. Helps a bit in the butt especially.

Too much other stuff going on with my business right now to shell out money for some HVMP bar ends or the Throttlemeister, but soon.

Rolling out of Forks down 101 was freezing cold, and the fog was so thick you couldn't see a thing. Not too much fun. Trying to stay relaxed, but shivering is not easy!

Good seat and good gear makes all-day rides so much more enjoyable.

I know what you mean though. You wake up the next morning feeling like you lost a wrestling match to a bear.

I like Corbin's set up, especially with the trunk piece, but that is a little out of my reach right now. I am trying to get another truck together for my business right now.
