~7:15am PST, 5/8/07 @ the intersection of Evergreen Pkwy and 185th.

Silver Strom south bound on 185th.

I saw you give the thumbs up as you passed me by at the light. I waved back, don't know if you saw. I was on the yellow strom. Were those rear LED lights I saw?

Hey Mirage:
Thought maybe that was you. Not that many banana-stroms around. Saw you coming up from behind, but I couldn't get into neutral in time to wave before you passed.
Yea, I have two after market lite on my trunk. I wanted a square footage style lite and some flashing/movement style lite. I really like the "Kit 2000 or Cylon" back and forth lite. Got it for $25. It goes back and forth until you put on the brake, then it flashes x10.
So, I was going to work in Aloha, where were you going?

No problem, I saw a few other bike on that strech and hadn't focused enough on your's to ID it as a Strom until you passed.

Cool, they were effective, I saw them ;)

Off to work as well. I normally take Bronson over to Bethany, but I missed the light, and Rt. ramp traffic seemed really bad so I opted to take evergreen over to Cornell. I work near Papas Pizza off 158th in Beaverton, for now. May be moving out to Hillsboro soon though.

Just got back from having lunch with my wife and daughter at Elmer's over by you.

My wife is big on "More lights, More lights, must be seen, must be seen!" She's doing the same with the Wing. Can't say she's not right.

Sounds like you live close, I'm just off 174th(3-way stop on Bronson) on Santiam Dr.(first left after light). Where bouts are you?

Yeah, I bet you saw my safety vest...I've swallowed my pride and opted to be SEEN. I have 3 kids and a wife that after that ady ran the red, I'm not anxious to leave them fatherless yet.

I'm not far, sometimes I cut through there too via Park View. I live behind Rock Creek Elementary School. I take Rock Creek Blvd to Columbia to get to my neighborhood.
