Hi Rob,
The rally went great! We had 350 plus in attendance. Your videos of
the Washington rides from Robsnet.com were a hit. They were played
about a
dozen times over the weekend with crowds present so those interested
had a
chance to view them. Thank you for your effort in producing and
providing
them for the event.
Keep a watch on the district website for pictures of the
rally..........R/Dave....~:O

Hey, rob. my name is Drew. I just moved to WA state from Maui,
HI. I just bought a new Suzuki GSXR 750, and have been doing a
little exploring around the Vancouver area. I was coming back from
a quick trip along the Washougal River Rd., when I met some random
guy who commented on my bike. anyway, the long and short of it is
that he turned me on to your website. too cool. I didn't get his
name, but remembered your site. thanks to him, and to you for your
site!

I was thrilled to stumble upon your site (after I had been
drooling over some of Pashnit's California videos). I've been hoping
to find a "Pashnit-like" group of riders here in Tacoma. I love to
ride but don't know where all the good roads are. everybody wants to
get on the freeway -- not my idea of fun. maybe I'll bump into you
guys at Sunday's ride for the troops. i drive a silver '07 ST1300
w/2 sets of PIAA lights above the mirrors (night ride, anyone?)

Rob,
Thank you for putting together a wonderful site! One of the cool
things about Washington is the plethora of awesome mom&pop burger
stands that can be found around the state. I have often thought it
would be a good idea to make a listing of all of them and lo and
behold, you have done it! Being a motorcycle rider myself I now have
a "road map" of destinations to check out. As a former employee of
Big Tom's I have found there to be general frustration with the lack
of available dining to be had on the lot. For a better dining room
than Big Tom's could ever hope to offer there is a park (Lion's Park
I believe it is called) just down the side street connected to the
lot that is quite nice with many trees to sprawl out under once you
have downed your Big Tom feast. Looking forward to checking out the
site and have a great day!

I am an intern for McGarrah Jessee, an advertising agency in
Austin, Texas. I am doing some internet research on hamburgers and
hamburger joints for Whataburger, a Texas-based fast food
establishment. I read your blog with the hunt for the top burgers in
Washington State. Would you be willing to confidentially answer a
few questions about burgers and what makes a good burger for our
research?
Rob's Answer: "Anything for the great burger cause!"
"Make them fresh, make them messy, grill the bun and put some Malt
in that chocolate shake!" Oh ya... And have allot of parking for
bikers!

Rob,
Try the Burgers Big Bubba's Drive in Allyn Washington

On the way there you can warm up at Crazy Eric's eatery in Belfair
just across the road (south) from Safeway.

Good drive in burgers. I would love to join you on one of your
rides.

Rob.
Great site. I plan to see if I can get through all of your suggested
rides on my ST1300 soon. I also appreciate the respect you have
shown for our troops. Keep it up

Hi Rob,
I am just starting to plan a ride for my dad and I to take next
month. I'll be starting in Los Gatos, Ca, picking him up in
Redding, Ca and heading Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and back
home. Thanks a lot for the info on your site. It is the best I've
found so far and appreciate your insight. If you think of any "must
ride" routes on our way, I'd appreciate any direction you could
give. I'm on a R11GS and the old man's riding a K12LT.
Thanks again for posts! jeff

For years we have been on the quest for the Perfect Roadside
Burger. Like the ones we got along the Blue Highways before the
Interstates. Found the best one so far at a place called "The Cool
Cat Cafe" in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Tastes Great and lots of
drippings left in the wrapper. I stumbled on your site last weekend
and determined to drive to McKenna ASAP. Had to wait one week, but
made it today around 1:00. Parked my convertible Mustang between 2
bikes who's riders were just suiting up after eating inside.
When I mentioned my Quest and your website, Alicia pointed out the
window and said "Those Guys ?, they have the website."
Couldn't get out fast enough to say Hi, and Thanks. Maybe next time.
In your honor, I ordered the Trail boss and actually ATE IT ALL. The
thing looks like a 2 layer cake on a dinner plate!! I now have a
hat, but the camera lens broke as she focused the camera ( what is
it with these new cameras? This seems to happen a lot when I'm
posing for a shot ) and I have been invited to come back next
weekend for my Wall of Fame photo. Thanks for the tip. Mckenna is
only 28 miles from home and well worth the drive. Beats 6 hours on
an airplane : )

I just discovered your site and have added it to my favorites. A
site full of useful information (best burger joints) and places to
ride, things to see ... Great job.

Hi Rob. I am the Vespa rider from Bellingham. I did the Olympic
Peninsula loop you'd recommended last week. It was a great ride, sunny
the first few days and rainy but with beautiful fall leaves the last
few days. Hotels were deserted for the most part, Hurricane Ridge was
open and a terrific ride, and I chatted with some nice folks along the
way. Thanks for the advice! David

Rob I really enjoyed your site and the new 2007 oyster run footage.
This is a very professional web site and you should be proud.

This is a great website. We took the trip to Port Angeles this
weekend, on the spur of the moment from Bellingham. We tried to get
into the Sol Duc hot springs, but they were booked up. We stayed at
the Best Western Olympic Lodge in Port Angeles and were very happy
with the accommodations. It was clean and well maintained, quiet and
the staff was friendly and courteous. We ate dinner at the Blue Flame
BarBQue in Port Angeles and it was the best barbeque we've had in the
Pacific Northwest. The menu was simple, but everything we tried tasted
great. Make sure you stop on your next trip through. They are closed
on Monday and Tuesday and open for dinner at 4 pm the rest of the
week. Hurricane Ridge was spectacular and a fun ride. We ended up
stopping at Fat Smitty's on the way home for the Fat Smitty's burger
and were not disappointed. Thanks for the great information provided
on your website. We plan on taking more of your weekend trips.

Hi Rob, I met you on the Washington State Ferry coming from Orcas
Island. I had the Bushtec Trailer. Bushtec's Site is Bushtec.com They
are located in Jacksboro Tn. You have a cool website. Our little
journey was about 8037 miles. It started in Medina, Ohio. Then to New
Orleans, San Antonio, San Diago, San Francisco, Seattle, Orcas Island,
Sturgis, and home back to Ohio. 21 states in 22 days. Great trip. Keep
on riding! Later, Ed

Hi Rob- I just wanted to let you know that Bob and I had an awesome
time on our ride! We ended up putting in almost 700 miles in three
days. Not bad for our first tour. We started and ended our trip at
Quick Pick and we hit Fat Smittys. Great burgers!! Our names are on a
dollar bill posted on the wall!!
Here's our route- (rain most of the first two days, but we took your
advice and had good rain gear. We started in Fife and then headed to
Mt. Rainier through Puyallup. We went down the backside and then
turned West. We ended up spending the night in Chehalis. The second
day was more than incredible. We went through Aberdeen to the coast
and just headed up North. We loved the ride through the small towns,
beaches, lakes, etc. We spent the night in Port Angeles and then
headed up to Hurricane Ridge. We could not have asked for a better
morning...blue skies all the way up to the ridge. After heading down,
we went to Discovery Bay and Smittys. After that we weaved our way
through the Hood Canal hitting every little inlet we could. We
ended our ride going through Tahuya to Seabeck and then down to a
friends in Port Orchard for the night. Your website really helped us
solidify what we wanted to do. We will be doing a yearly ride in WA.
Thanks!!
Take care, Kris

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the info on your service page. I was searching to find out
who to go to for dyno tuning and how much they charge and you nailed
it on the head with your description. I'm sure you were intending to
redirect people from the poor customer service of RMC to someone like
Henshaw and you guided me there.
Thanks again,

weather gets better. Keep up the good work.
