Rocket Owners Northwest

[Phil R]

So far two of us are leaving Tacoma, WA the 19th and riding to
Pasco, WA to visit Rocket Roger. The 20th we ride to Nampa, ID
to meet Idaho Red Rocket and Albertaduke. The 21st we have a long ride (500mi)
to Vernal, UT to meet Rolltide and Sma guy from Wyoming (I forget his handle).
The 22nd is a short ride (200mi) into Montrose, CO.

Two of us are spending the night (June 19th) around Pasco. We are hopefully going to dinner with Rocket Roger and would welcome meeting you other Tri City boys - Phil R? R3R Torque? before heading out in the morning for Nampa. ID.

I see we have a @seabum from the Pac NW.
Hook up here with us Amigo. Where you hail from?

Sounds great! I look forward to meeting everyone in Pasco! Please keep me in the loop for when and where.

Sorry, been off for a while on a ski trip and with a recent dump of 16 inches of new snow my hopes of getting on the Rocket by early April have been set back a bit!! Ardbeg is a wonderful whisky from the Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland...I made a foray there last year for the sole purpose of visiting a number of Scotch whisky distilleries. I started drinking single malt Scotch several years ago and it has turned into a bit of a passion. Along with Ardbeg, the famous "Laphroigh" and "Laugavulin" also come from Islay.

But back to the passion of Rockets...I hope to someday soon ride the girl down the Alaska/Canadian highway sometime and meet up with other Rocket Riders from the Pacific Northwest. As far as I know, there is only one other Rocket here in Alaska and when I tried to meet up with him for some riding and camraderie he pretty much signaled he didint care much for other Rocketeers.

There are several great expression of Ardbeg, but for the beginner I recommend the standard "10 Year Old" available at most larger liquer stores-but be aware that Ardbeg, like most Islay whiskies, is heavily peated and thus not for everyones palet. If you are new to single malts I recommend starting out with a Scotch from the "Speyside" region of Scotland. -Doug

or GLENGOYNE if you do not care for the "peated" taste

@1olbull,

The "Cool Summer Nights" car show runs from June 19 - 22 and the West Richland Hogs and Dogs bike meet/show happens on June 19.

We are fixing to spend the night of the 19th around Pasco after meeting Rocket Roger and hopefully having dinner together.
Once I know what his plans are, I intend to try and hook up with another couple friends in Kennewick and Richland.
I shall keep you posted as plans develop. I just realized we have a short ride to Nampa, ID the following day; so, perhaps we could do a morning jaunt through the show before riding out.

Just curious. From Nampa,ID are you planning on taking I-84W heading south @ the junction east of Twin Falls, or over to I-15 and then south. Let me throw this out there. Pocatello is at the junction @ I-15. If by chance you come through town, let me know. I could have the BBQ fired up. A quick lunch on me ( I know this is a long leg to Vernal, so you'll be wanting to make good time down to there ) So if you want you can chow down, fuel up and roll. Offer stands, let me know.
