New Rides coming up in April and May
'riding'The Portland, OR. PDX Riders have two big rides coming up. The Oregon 250 Poker Run on April 3rd and then the Oregon 500 on May 7th. Both of these runs are sponsored/hosted by the Rose City Motorcycle Club, an local AMA club for over 50 years. They put on great rides and have great dealer sponsorship.
I am hoping that most of the PDX Riders will make the 250 and maybe some the 500. Just for the curious, the 250 is a run of between 225~250 miles and the 500 is the same, but 475~500 miles. These are run rain or shine and are great, scenic rides! Each ride draws over 250 bikes annually. So you can see how popular they are. I will post after party notes following each ride.
I would like to state here that while we are small (9 riders), we have some of the best riders I have ever met! A great bunch of guys and an awesome pool of talents.
Ride safe everyone!!!!!.dickie-deals.
Reaching out to local riders
We have a small, fun group of F6B riders that are just starting out to meet each other. We have had 2 breakfasts and some of us have met up and done 2 rides, so far. We are new and are only rule is that we don't start setting up rules. We meet up, eat, and figure out where to go. I send out info on local Poker Runs and find out when and where would be a good place to meet for chow would be for everyone.
We would like to invite you to meet up with us some time and ride along. I am sending this as a private message and if you wish to get back to me, just send me your email and I will contact you with mine. Love to have you, stay safe!
Goodness gracious, we be rockin'
We have added 5 more NW riders to our PDX group. About 6 of the 12 are going on 250 mile poker run. Hopefully we will get some pics and load them up here. See ya all on the flip flop!
Holy Goldwings on Steriods
Well I just got back from our Poker Run/ ride. We had a great turnout with half of the group riding the run. Copper Mike, PDXStriper, F6BPDX, Will aka EZRider, & myself aka Chas had an awesome, scenic ride. Had some good food in Toledo and then headed north, kind of! At this point, I had gotten us off course and caused us to miss a turn. Supposed to be on Hwy 18, but I can't count and we were on Hwy 20 and too far on it to turn around. So we all headed to I-5 and then north. Dropping off our buddies at various exits for them to go home. It was fabulicious! None of us won anything because we didn't go to the end. We had come for what we wanted. Meeting new riding buddies, seeing the sights, and telling lies. All this was accomplished, so why go to the end? I want to thank you guys for the great time you gave me. It was a hoot!!!
EZ Rider will have some pics posted shortly, of our cute faces! Actually the only cute face today was Copper Mike's super wife! She made us all look good.
We have such a great group of riders, they are all absolutely Class Acts! Its my privledge to know them and I am very glad I do. 'riding'
Oregon Sunday Ride in June
I would like to get some input from the group, including the rider in Kelso about our Sunday ride in June. I need to know if you have a date that would be better than another and if you have any ideas for stops. We will start out in NW Portland to pick up any riders from Battleground/Vancouver area. Then on up Hwy 30 to pick up maybe as many as 4 riders between PDX and the Longview cut off. Maybe have anyone coming from that area to meet up at the scenic pull out up the hill, on the way to Astoria. It is about half way up (roughly). Then on to Astoria for food/gas, whatever the group decides. Then from Astoria down to Tillamook and then Seaside, and south to Otis and then over to I-5 and then to Keizer and I will continue north to Oregon City. 'windy'
I have gotten minimal interest in this ride. If I cannot get more, I will just drop it. Just to remind everyone we are just a riding group, based on the same bike type. No leaders, just all of us being followers of the front tire.
