I will be there in spirit but duty calls and I will be freezing my ass in Toronto.

Where and when

[Horseshoer]

Always!

[Beer Kahuna]

I'd be up for a ride if it's not raining - as long as I can get a hall pass from the little woman.

[c5vetteman]

Sure, why not? I'm getting good at cleaning up my VTX.

Weberider (Mike) was hinting at hosting (leading) us on his "Clickitat Run"

Nothins better than a fellow Xrider showing off their little special "loops"
Lets see if Ive planted the seed

Whataya say Mr. Mike?

[Horseshoer]

It doesn't matter to me where we ride but I think its only fair and we'll get more people riding if we meet in the central location, Salem.

I agree Dennis, but this thread seems to be pretty quiet so far. No one central has offered suggestions and we were central last week. Maybe everyone is still alittle damp :lol:

So lets all play it by ear and see what transforms, it's usually the inspired or suggested thats gets the group stirred up.

Anyone have any specific ride destination suggestions?

Just checked the weather on KGW.com, they are calling for rain on Sunday. This I do know, I'm not doing two rain rides in a row :shock: took me forever to get "Marilyn" cleaned up. Even her stainless steel panties were all dirty 8)

[c5vetteman]

Well now. As long as you are asking. I have a great ride that I have been trying to share with the gang for a couple years. We almost made it last year but we did not make it farther than Eugene. I think Dennis had a hot date and bugged out on us. Anyway. This map starts at Sheri's at
I-5 and Beltline and ends at The Cooler bar and grill on Coburg Rd. These two businesses are about 5 miles apart. With me leading it will take us 188 miles to get there. All we need is a sunny day.

:rain1: Just looked at the weather channels forcast and it is looking like rain for this weekend. Especially Sunday. Bob, I would love to do that ride you have planned so lets plan on it for the next sunny riding day we have. As for this Sunday, I don't think so. :cry: :cry: :rain1:

[manwhorides]

Hey Bob Buddy,

How long does it usually take you to ride to Portland? I think your loop should be on our "do soon" list.

I also would like to vote for Bob as OregonXriders "IronButtMan"

Ya show up at 99% of the rides, most of which you travel the furthest to the starting points with a big grin and Narry a complaint :D

I think we owe to IronButtBob to have him host his loop as soon as possible

[c5vetteman]

Hey Brad:

Protland is 1.5 to 2.5 hrs depending on traffic. I like the IronButtman name. It beats the ButtHeadMan that most people call me. But I don't know where you have been. I bitch like an old woman. :twisted:

The weather down south (Eugene) is suppost to be good Saturday. http://image.weather.com/web/forecast/us_nw_9regwxhi2_medium_usen.jpg Take my work for it this showed no rain until 6 PM. The same that the next one down for Reedsport showed.

It even looks good for the coast. As long as everyone is home by 5PM.

[Horseshoer]

I think Lead Butt or Hard Ass is more appropriate.... :P

[c5vetteman]

Fine phyco Dennis

With a name like that I wouldn't get to excited if I were you. God knows where you will be when you come out of it.

See ya Saturday morning at 8 AM at Sheri's for breakfast.

[JIMBO1800]

Bob, cool picture of your bike. I would like to know how you do that ? :) Looks great.

[c5vetteman]

Well Jim:

It takes years and years of highly techicnal and demanding training to learn to modify photographs in this way. It requires a level of devotion and dedication that few mortal humans can muster. I'm not kidding! It is extremely difficult.....

Or you can can buy Microsoft Picture It and push one button. That is what I did. :a13:

[JIMBO1800]

Bob, is microsoft pictures something you bought in a store ,or did you just down load it off the internet? I don't have your years of exprience,but I think I can push one button. Do you remember what you paid for the program? :mrgreen:

[c5vetteman]

Correction
Jim:

You can get it at Costco for around $35.00. Most office supply or computer stores have it, but I think the best buy is at Costco.
There are other programs for working with photos that are probably as good or better. I just have not used them. "Micrsoft Picture It" works good.

[BlueBye]

Weather looks mostly sunny and low 60's for Eugene and central coast. :D Rain in PDX. :(

[c5vetteman]

It sure is nice living down south. Looks like the palm trees need watering again. Sure could use some rain. O-well, guess I'll just have to ride my motor-cycle. :D

Bob

[family-mann]

I hear a a lot of chit chat but are we riding today? Let's here a definate answer.

[manwhorides]

Dang Looks like we got another bogus weather report. Looks good today here in Portland. Oh well I guess the season is still young, many more opps coming

[family-mann]

Well boys and girls we missed out on a beutiful day to ride. :(

I guess next time there is a chance of rain we can decide on riding the morning of the ride.

Catch you all on the next turn.

P.S. Riding alone is not the same :cry:

Took my son to the Hot Rod show and then on a 100 mile cruise. WOW, what a day. Jeans and my leather jacket without the liner. What a difference a week makes.
