A little Northern Exposure

Took a lazy ride along the Yakima River through Cle Elum to Roslyn for lunch.

Some of you may remember a television show called "Northern Exposure" about a New York doctor working off his school loan in the small Alaskan town of Cicely.

Well, as far as I know, Cicely, Alaska is imaginary. The show used Roslyn for the outdoor shots and had a set in Bellevue or someplace for interior shots.

Attempts were made years ago to visit Roslyn during shootings, but without success. The "hot set" signs are no longer needed.

The large painted advertisement for the Roslyn Cafe was modified to "Roslyn's Cafe" for the show, but has been returned to it's original glory.

I got to town just after 2. That's important because that's when "Village Pizza" opens. She makes her own crust dough and sauces. Yummy.

Check out weenerbagotails to see Dave's new gas tank. Forrest painted it and Doug finished the design in gold leaf (the same guys that painted my bags). It's a replica of a tank design used on a 1933 Harley that Dave saw in the museum in Milwaukee.

This appears to be a legitimate link to a site about the show. I'll leave it here, but won't guarantee it is a clean link.

Didn't watched the show very often, couldn't get interested in the characters. But from what I've heard about it the production was high quality. Dave's tank looks very good, no scratches allowed.

Beautiful bike, Scott. Riding the bike over? Maybe Jim D. will show up for the reunion?? You just might have a great time! Hope so. Need a place to stay? I'll get home that afternoon and Tom will be here all week.
