Any Portland Oregon riders out there? I see an occasional post and a few stick pins on the map.
Time to have our own thread? |

Wow, a 06' 12Ss in Cherry Bomb Red. I want to see that. Did you upgrade the wheels as well? |

Aron,
The wheels are upgraded, but I didnt do it, Daves did! I just took the 06 off the truck today, I'll get some pictures uploaded soon.
I only got about 40 miles on it today. I'll try to get a lot more on tomorrow.
We'll get together soon ans try a few turns. Are the leaves off of Skyline yet? |

The leaves have pretty much blown off. But it is still wet. The sun doesn't really make it through the trees.
I rode about 30 miles today. Kinda short but I wanted to go and check out the Speed Triple over at Moto Cascade.
Not planning on switching, just adding to the collection in the next year or so. |

Saw a Uly on my ride home last night. Abut 5 PM pulling out onto Walker. Right between Nike and IBM. Traded waives and went on our way...
Theres another guy with an XBS right there too, somewhere South of walker and East of Murry.
I know we are out there.
Get any more miles in the week Aron? |

I gotta Down size them. And her name is Scarlet, so dubed by Sabrina, who appears a tad envious.
Snuck out early while the sun was up today, ran Skyline Blvd.

Not a bad ride. Not much chicken strip left, which aint bad given I'm staying under 4K RPM.
Dave, You'll get a big thank you with pics in Public soon! I promise. |

Paul, I went out for a couple of hours last weekend.
I have to work a few hours tomorrow to get caught up on a project. Might ride into work. It's a nice 60 mile round trip and takes me through German town and over St John's bridge. |

Weather looks baddddd for the next couple weeks. I'll keep my eye on the predictions for dry days, if we find one we may need to get together.
Did you get the Drummer SS on? |

No Drummer SS yet. Waiting for Kevin to call me. He was suppose to call when my turn was up on the waiting list.
Lets plan on Sunday Dec 17th. It looks to be clear and 44 degrees. Of course it could change. |

I'm there disturbed. Spread the word...
Aron,
If the weather holds you've got a deal, assuming my wife is up and about (Just had surgery) Need to find some nice low altitude stuff... |

Sounds great Paul.
Disturbed, I am on there as well.
As close as you are to me, I wouldn't mind stopping by some time to check out the drummer exhaust sound. I am waiting to get one myself. |

You can stop by anytime. LOVE the drummer. Just shoot me an email.

Got to love the wind this evening.
I saw a guy riding his bike home from work tonight in this mess. Crazy! |

I wouldn't be caught dead on a bike in this wind/rain. I went to the store earlier and a tree branch came down and broke the rear hatch glass on my Eclipse, can't wait to find out how much that is gonna cost me...... |

Ouch!
What year Eclipse? I just sold my 99 GSX and my wife has a 05 GT convertible. |

I was tempted to ride in yesterday, had to go to Tualatin. 10 minutes into the drive I was glad common sense prevailed. Hit puddles twice that had the cageer sliding.
I don't think I can do a Sunday ride, what are the odds we want to get together tomorrow? Conflicting predictions, and I'm sure there will be crap all over the roads... |

Horrid weather and Christmas party Sat. night, I plan to be hungover. |

If Saturday turns out nice, I'm game.
Disturbed, no drinking for me. The hangovers are just too much to deal with, especially with kids around you in the mornings. I much more prefer a good old adrenaline rush. LOL
But if your not too hung over Sunday I might stop by to check out the drummer if its OK with you. |

Aron. I've got to get some Xmas shopping done this morning, best chance is about 1 or 2 this afternoon. May work well with the weather, give the frost a chance to melt. I'll call your cell this afternoon, or you can give me a ring. I need to run to Portlans Motercycle and look at the Schuberth, other than that I dont have suggestions for where to ride. |

Have fun guys! I won't be TOO hung over, gotta do some schmoozin with the bosses boss though.
Just got back from Paradise, got my FXRG leather jacket, VERY nice and VERY warm. |

Nice! You will need it riding in these temperatures. The ride today was not to bad until about 4:30. Then it got pretty cold. Finger tips started to go numb.
By the way Paul's Cherry Bomb Red Long looks killer. I love the translucent air cover. |

Still waiting for my Drummer SS. Didn't realize the waiting list was as long as it was when I first ordered.
This year was pretty much just for the kids since I already got my bike |
