Moving down to Bend this week. Any local riders? Met one girl when I was down there a few weeks ago that rode a F4i.

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 08:50 PM

Hmmm, nobody??? Beans...better get me some fliers to pass around when I get there.

cowgirlninja · 10-09-2006, 08:58 PM

Dang!! I'm way jealous!! Bend is probably my favorite place in the whole world to live!! I love that city....it's growing big time though. I'm going to plan a trip next summer from Portland to central oregon and stay in bend for awhile and then head back. Bend has great restaurants and beer too....not to mention mt. bachelor. What's making you move there? Job?

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 09:00 PM

Kind of a long story. But just getting a new start and have a life-long buddy that lives there. So mostly just a change of scenery(really good scenery at that) and i can transer jobs down there, so that helps.

Essvar · 10-09-2006, 09:03 PM

Don't forget the many twisty roads between Bend and the valley...Cascade Mountain Range for the win

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 09:05 PM

Yeah, last time I was down there I took 26 to Mt. Hood in the cage. Looked to be a fun one on the bike too.

Oh man... look up hwy 20, hwy 22 and the others that take off around sisters, if you want come down south a little and we will show you more corners than you can handle

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 09:09 PM

sounds cool

Spec · 10-11-2006, 12:19 PM

Do like I did when I moved to Portland, and get the word out! I know there's tons of riders there, maybe Bend just hasnt discovered the internet yet?

Cowgirl, let me know when you do that and I'd love to tag along. I meant to take a trip to Bend this summer but didnt. Maybe I still will if theres a nice weekend ahead.

MxRacer253 · 10-11-2006, 12:25 PM

ima steal your fuel pump from your truck so you cant leave...

Jace · 10-11-2006, 12:28 PM

Color me jealous. i love Bend and go there at least twice a year. Can't wait for the snow to dump on Bachelor.

R6Limited · 10-11-2006, 12:36 PM

Looking forward to that too. Actually found a log cabin for rent by Sunriver. Could be sweet

zedx9 · 10-14-2006, 09:08 AM

Plenty of folks here in CO (Central Oregon). Most of us spend our internet surf time on Sportbikes.ws. If you pop over there, on the Oregon forum you will find: Sage (Sage's Dirt and Street), Dwco32, Zygoat, Wasabi Peas, KoiHoshi, Mstark, kawial and a number of others that are active on SB.WS. Sage has his shop on 3rd street just south of Greenwood (hwy20). We are thinking of doing a gathering in Bend on this Tuesday or Wednesday the 17th or 18th. With different work schedules, its tough to get everyone together at one time. If you have not yet explored the local roads around here, your in for a treat. .........Ken

R6Limited · 10-14-2006, 08:03 PM

sweet thanks

Y2K · 10-12-2008, 08:09 PM

I lived there from '70-'80 and still have family & friends in the area.
I know a hell of a lot of good back roads in Central and Eastern Oregon.
These are all day rides from Bend with ease.

Locust Grove church on 206 near Wasco,great little back road!

Three Sisters between Redmond and Sisters.

My Jefferson and the Sisters from a viewpoint above Lake Billy Chinook near Madras by Culver.

Old farmstead near Kent

US395 North of John Day

US395 North of Lakeview

Old Cecil Store on scenic highway 74,awesome ride!

Kick'n ride from Pine Grove on 216 through Wapinitia to Warm Springs.
Mt. Jefferson

Dufur Valley Rd. from Dufur becomes NF 44 then Dufur Mill Rd and comes out on 35 near Cooper Spur ski area on Mt Hood.

Mt Hood near Timberline

near Parkdale

Strawberry mountains near Sumpter

Three Sisters on 20 near Sisters

Columbia Gorge near Biggs from the WA side.

Columbia River at Umatilla

Mt Hood from Dufur Mill Rd. just off 35.

Cascade Lakes Highway near Bend

Hope you enjoyed the tour,everything pictured is within a single day ride and back home from Bend.

ninjarider · 10-12-2008, 08:27 PM

nice pics

Gun · 01-22-2009, 04:54 PM

I'm fairly new to bend. From Utah.
I imagine most of the riders here have been killed off by the drivers. I'm barely able to survive in my truck! Just a general lack of awareness, which as bad as it is for driving around bend, the worst is that these people probably aren't taking in the scenery either! who knows what (cellphones) they are staring at. sure ain't the road.

the roads around here look pretty fun, but due to arriving at the start of winter, and bend being fond of dropping cinder everywhere, i haven't suited up the CB77 yet.
I'm replacing the brass in the carbs, going to adjust the points and timing this weekend.
and maybe i'll be out and about here soon.

Hope to see some of you.

look for the little man on this:

Sage · 01-24-2009, 02:02 PM

It’s really upsetting looking at those pictures knowing I left that for "a better life" over here. The moneys better but IMO not worth it, quality of life was better in Bend.

I know, what the H*** were you thinking, wanting to make a living and all

The Diamond Trailer Works building is open on 97 just south of RDM

varment · 04-09-2009, 04:10 AM

I grew up there and graduated from Mtn. View High School in 92... Now in roseburg but have family still in between bend and redmond.... if I ever get my bike up there I'm going to be spending a day just on the old bend redmond hwy!! It is getting bigger and traffic is a pita, but i miss it... Roseburg is not bad but has 50,000 fewer people...

EDIT: don't forget that hwy 242 is not far from Bend and is a great twisty road....

bendsofttail · 04-09-2009, 09:45 AM

I've been in Bend for several years now and love it. The rides are great here!

I live in bend, hit me up sometime if you want to ride!

Corisian · 04-25-2009, 07:41 PM

I'm in the Bend area, and would like to meet some new people to ride with. Most of the people I'm riding with now are on the 700+ pound v-twins, and it's killin' me. I'm in.

zedx9 · 04-29-2009, 04:25 PM

Things should pick up as the weather turns warmer. I was riding to work for the last week and a half and then.....snow!

f4i4me · 04-30-2009, 09:37 AM

I am down to ride anytime

I know. That seems to be the case lately. I'm worried my first ride of the season will be the Cascade ORP trackday on June 6th. If the weather does'nt change soon I'll have to swap to track gear before getting a street ride in. That's what happened last year..........It sucked

I could chain up I guess

SiX · 05-02-2009, 08:33 AM

I love Bend. I haven't been there in years. I should look up my friends at Muzzy and plan a road trip.

abby · 05-26-2009, 08:04 AM

I live in Bend, only been here three months originally from Vegas and I love it here. I haven't had problems with traffic yet. I actually think drivers are better here with bikes then back home. LOL!! Vegas doesn't have good drivers. I haven't had the chance to ride with anyone from here. vallesabby@aol.com send me an email if you wanna ride sometime

R6Limited · 06-24-2009, 12:23 PM

Glad to see this thread is still kicking around. Might have to come down and do some hiking in August.

You've got to be kidding me.... this is what I'm moving down to? I went 2 weeks without riding once and it drove me completely insane.

I better take up snowmobiling or dirt riding.
