Just keep an eye on the board. Im always happy to meet new people.
Several of us met in Sweethome and rode a 300 mile or more yesterday. It was GREAT. Florence will be full of bikes this comming weekend. Some of the guys are planning a ride to Las Vegas at the end of the month. There is a ride in Denver on the weekend of the fourth of July. And most of us ride every chance we get. Like I said keep an eye on the board, and you can also post a ride you would like to do and see if there are any takers. Where are you located . . .oops maybe I should go back and read yer post again on that one.

Well, it was either you or my neighbor Gary that jinxed the weather. Dam Californians. Can't they keep their rainy weather to themselves? :D :D

Philomath....er, Corvallis.

I'm taking my son to the Motocross track for races this weekend in Albany. I'm not sure about Sunday yet. He might just race Saturday.

[BlackJack21]

Hello Shane and welcome. I was thinking about riding up there also, won't know for sure until Friday all depends on the work schedule. I live up North of you, close to Mcminnville...........Jack

[showtime414]

Hey man,

Sounds like we would get along nicely. I raced Motorcross for 19 years. The Leech boys are my best friends. they just dont like road riding. but its nice to be getting some replies from close riders. let me know your schedule...they are now calling for rain on saturday and nice sunday so we will see how it goes.

[showtime414]

Speaking of Springfield, bloomz loves that road there thru Marcola to Crawfordsville or vice versa and is game whenever the freaking rain ain't falling.
