Thanks!!! 
Unfortunately, most couldn't make this event so your only seeing a fraction of our members. I started the riding club last year after seeing a need for these local riders to get together and enjoy their bikes.
I did it with the premise that there are NO elected club officers, NO charter or bylaws, NO dues and NO Rules. We just ride no matter what your bike is.
We have a blast even if we're just on an island (no bridges).
Ya'll should come visit this part of the world. I think you might like it.

We needed to move a bunch of alder logs so we could build a picnic area for an upcoming family reunion. My son and nephew did the work. I got to drive. We will mill them up in the fall for ongoing projects. I was surprised that the mechanical brakes work pretty well. My son pointed out that it wasn't even on it's overloads yet....

My Work truck since 2005. She's logged over 3000 miles in a month several times.
This picture was sent to me by one of my customers.

A really great looking truck! How many miles do you have on it? That picture is dated over 6 years ago and you have been working it since 05, you must have a lot. What drivetrain are you running?

Whoa!! Who'da thunk it?!?!
Yeah...I know....she only see's light duty work but, she is legally owned and operated by my motorcycle company and does due her share of hauling (mostly my butt around town) and looks dandy fine doin it. 
Above pic of Miss Rose (54 F100 Panel) with my riding group S.I.C. (Salish Island Coasters) at the 4th of July Parade.
Both of my daughters with Miss Rose showing their shirts. Neither knew the other was going to wear that particular design that day.
My eldest daughter making sure the sign is on properly. It's not but why tell her?
My youngest daughter hamming for the camera with Miss Rose.

Still don't think my '37 is a hot rod. Is my '59 f350 with a diesel swap considered a 'gasser'? I think not. THIS is a hot rod. Or is it a gasser? I bought it yesterday when a woman called me and told me she sold her house and had to have everything gone by the end of the week. Her husband died 5 years ago and she didn't know much about the 'old truck'. I remember talking to the guy who did the work in the late 90's. Thing starts, runs great, has ps and pb and came with a beautiful spare cab and tons of nos parts in boxes. Just don't ask about the mpg. Yeah, I know it's off-brand, but couldn't resist showing what a real hot rod truck is on Orcas (or San Juan) Island. Hoping to flip this thing, and keep it real with the fords.

Has that got power to both rear axles? And a winch on both ends? The only thing I would chance would be the engine to a multi-fuel Diesel.
It would make an awesome Alaskan Rig for sure.
