@ Deepiron. If you're taking time off work, maybe we could go up to keyport to the undersea weapons museum or the Turner Joy?
Sounds great! I've never seen the undersea weapons museum... :up: Stay serious and work out the details... I'm still interested. I'll be on and off the road the next couple of weeks but I'll check this thread when I'm home...

Not too far from the museum (about 15 min or less) is the perfect place - http://maritimebrewery.ypguides.net/...r_Taproom.html

Damn good beer with damn good food! :D And cheap too!

Walked out of there with a bill for $60 and that included a case (24) of Imperial Pale Ale, and food and beers for 2! So I'm guessing 4 beers (2 each) and a ton of food cost me about $30-$35.

Nothing against going to the Flight museum, but as most of are sub guys it would kinda make sense to go to the Undersea NAval museum or something along that nature.

It's not out of the question, but i don't think I can fit all in one day. We could drag this out to a second day. I like the flight museum, because I've only been there once (I've been to Keyport 3 time), there is more to see at the FM than UNM. Although the price is perfect fot the USM (free still?). If we had the time, this is what we would do:
1. FM
1.5 Dinner/ lunch with everbody.
2. Turner Joy
3. UNM

@ Subman1 (and everybody) That place looks like a good choice, it fits with the theme.:up: I don't drink, but it looks like a fun time and it's all about the comradeship. If subman1 can escape his wife, so far it looks like 4 of us. So, would it be easier to meet at one place then carpool to dinner? just a thought:hmm:

I can probably get in a second day but I can't commit at this point. However, whatever we CAN do will be fine with me! :up:

I'm shooting for this to be a "day" thing, but if everybody has the time, we could throw additional stuff in the mix. My big worry is planning a bunch of stuff and then spend the day sitting in Seattle traffic:dead: :damn: . I have experienced that once and that was enough. I mainly want to keep it easy.:)

SUBMAN1 03-29-08 09:40 AM

I never been on the Concord that they have parked there now. I planned on making a trip on that thing, but they pulled the plug. I would have paid the money to say I've been at Mach 2 and its no big deal! :D

I have two words for this: "lane splitting"... :up: I just put on my "city bags" to narrow down the Beemer and go for it... Touring gear for a 2 week vacation a couple of years ago...

*sigh* Long ago Bremerton had the mother lode of vintage warships. The Missouri and the New Jersey side by side. I remember taking a long bus ride to get a glimpse thru the fence. TheTurner Joy is nice, but not quite the substitute.

Nice bike! So far we have: Me, You (DI), Torplexed, and Subman1? going. I need to write a note for subman1 to get him outta work.:hmm:

Tenative schedule: monday may 5th Flight Museum, then dinner at that pirate bar that subman1 recommended. I really want to fit the Turner Joy in, but that means getting there and that will chew up some time:roll: . I just need to decide if I want to fly or drive there. I know by this Monday or Tuesday.

DeepIron 03-30-08 12:28 AM

Thx for the bike compliment. I've ridden a lot of cycles over the years but my R1100RS is a sure winner for sport touring. :up:

For now, the museum. It's really easy to get to. I also need to choose a hotel:ping: , but I'll decide then when I know if I'm flying or driving.
