That's beautiful country up there. I'd love to ride some of those twisties!

Randy, you need to get a lower cowl for your bike to protect those shiny headers.

Holy Cow! Can I drop of a few of my bikes for you to detail? I thought I kept my bikes clean but after seeing yours I am sorely mistaken.

Nice Pics. Last picture looks like the Columbia,where?

It is! We are very fortunate! So many rivers which makes for great sweepers!

Very true - the Chip Tar is tearing them up!

Tax payer dollars hard at work and that crap flies off in 7mo. What a waste of money.

Yep, a clean bike is happy bike! :thumbup:

Picture was from the Corbett area - The Vista House to be specific!

My fleebay S1 header on S2 bike! Came out very nice! (Click to link)

Yes, cool place indeed. I was there a few years back the day before Bambi killed my FJR on Windy Ridge Road. It's awesome riding both sides of the mighty Columbia!

I recall that thread and the strike. Didn't realize it was Wind Ridge/Wind River Road area! Great run north of Carson and up to the lakes or viewing area on Mt. St. Helen's! One of my most favorite runs to be honest!

No shortage of bambi in those parts either.

Check back later and you'll see pictures from those areas AND IF, ALL goes well $$$ maybe some video too. Some from the past are here:

Was buzzing along and needed a break. Landed here along the Sandy River on Mt. Hood...

Unrelated picture from the past. (offset the bad cell pic's)...

Randy I'm thinking you might be having Mark taking those pictures based on the quality of those shots.

Certainly no award winners but it is something I enjoy. That said I don't take the full body Nikon on the bike too often.

From a little hike in the woods recently....

Lightening makes for good background lighting! lol Thankfully I left before the rain hit!

Just outside of PDX there is this....

I've been doing less riding and more hiking which leads to this:

En route to Hamilton Mt. Summit
uhm - hand held, on bridge with people walking on it.
