| Pit Crew Joined: Jan 2009 From: North Albany I Ride: Misty | Welcome Buddy and Mark. There are rides being planned all the time, feel free to jump in on one. We ride with people with all skill levels, you just pick your own pace and don't worry about trying to keep up. We always stop at regular intervals. As for your fork seals issue, stick around for a while and I'm sure someone will help you out. |

You should invest in a service manual. If you don't get the leak fixed soon, at least make sure there is enough oil in them, but not too much!! |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2009 From: Lebanon, OR I Ride: A motorcycle. | Currently I head back and forth between Lebanon and Corvallis on Tangent Drive, just because I've heard stories about riding on 34. I only have a couple miles between Peoria store and town to deal with that way. However, I usually come in around 8:30 am, and leave around 10:30 pm because I have full time school and full time work. |

| Newbie Joined: Aug 2009 From: Corvallis, Oregon I Ride: 1996 Honda VFR | Anorther Corvallis Rider Hey, everybody. I attended Corvallis Bike Night at the beginning of August and it has taken the forum administrator this long to straighten out my forum account. Apparently, my email address was on a restricted, black-list... you know how us bikers are. ![]() Anyway, my name is Dustin and I commute daily on a VFR, plus the occasional long-way-home ride. On the weekends, if I am not teaching for Team Oregon, I try to explore the wonderful back roads we have here. The bike is set up for sport touring and I squeeze in at least one multi-day ride during the summer. My screen name comes from my bike and I have had her on the track a few times, as well. I have ridden in Corvallis since 1981 but it is nice to connect with some new faces. |
