Newbie friendly ride to the coast- destination either through Vernonia & twisties ( good place to practice those) out to Astoria; or maybe out through McMinnville ( 47) & wine/hops country to Newport. We can decide when we meet at Starbucks, Imbrie Drive, Hillsboro. ( This post is edited:please see below!)

Buzzy · 07-16-2009, 08:19 AM

Sounds like fun, I might be in for this.

ccrider · 07-16-2009, 10:10 PM

For those of us who like to get up at 9 or 10

, Who's interested in a ride to the coast on Saturday? Leaving at the crack of 11:00 from Starbucks, Imbrie Drive, Hillsboro. Off Evergreen/229th/ next to Fred Meyer( off 26). PM me with ?'s or if you are going so we will wait! We can decide route among us.

Count me in...

kmannth · 07-17-2009, 10:18 AM

Sorry Can't Join you guys but it reminds me of an old trip of mine.

Several years ago (when I had massive amounts of free time) it was like 100 degrees in Portland. I thought to myself "To the Coast"! I left work a little early and headed out there.

When I got to the coast it was 55-60 and foggy (I mean really foggy!). I had to stop at some store in seaside to buy a vest to go under my jacket as I was freezing.

Have Fun and Be Safe!

eezz · 07-17-2009, 03:44 PM

Are there gas stops at least every 90-100 miles. If I go on this it will be on the Ductard and the range sucks.

Jeffytune · 07-17-2009, 06:27 PM

I would love to go, but I have that whole "Have to work" thing goin' on till Noon, then I need to be at the free BBQ at Paradise Harley.

Next time.

jlburgess · 07-17-2009, 06:40 PM

Ooh, a duc SM. The best bike I haven't ridden in my guesstimation. I'm sure you'll find enough gas along the way. I'm thinking about joining up. Any more ideas on route or play it by ear?

PS Jeff, you don't have to post up what kind of oil you use since your only riding to a BBQ.

307T · 07-18-2009, 07:40 PM

Thanks for the ride ladies and gents. That was fun (mostly). Some beautiful country out there in the Birkenfeld area. Sorry I didn't go all the way to Tillamoook (via 53) with you but I told the wife I would take her out to dinner tonight. Famous Dave's Legendary Pit BBQ in Tualatin was very crowded but serves from an excellent menu.

SuzieHiyaBustah · 07-18-2009, 08:19 PM

Well, in one exciting day I managed to squeeze in:

my first group ride

my first fall

and now my first post on PNWR

.

It was totally my bad - same old story. I entered a corner too fast (after swearing to not override, of course), and the front tire hit gravel. I even thought for a second there before laying it down that I might be able to get back on to the pavement, and then ...

... well half of me made it back on to the pavement! Riding gear works - and works well. A little tear in my pants and a few minor scratches on my helmet. Why would anybody ride without this stuff?!?!

I am fine, the bike is fine, and the group I went out with was fantastic! This is a great community here... Thank you to ccrider, buzzy, everyone for stopping, making sure I was okay, and tending to the bike. And, a big thank you to Jeff & Ivan for their gracious escort back home, too. The bike was not beautiful to begin with (as it's my beginner's bike), but after reattaching my turn signal, and with the addition of some duck tape it's good as new-to-me! Thumbs up to Jeff on the body work - I swear my left mirror is less buzzy than it was before. Now I can see Buzzy more clearly on the next group ride.

And, oh yes, there will be the next ride. This was the best experience I could imagine in this situation, thanks again gang. Man... I'm officially hooked on this riding thing.

(And these little smilie icons!)

I think I figured out the photo upload. What you can't see is the rocks and gravel I scooped out of the inside of the fairings!

307T · 07-18-2009, 08:54 PM

Love the avatar. Glad you made it home OK. Best attitude I've seen in, like, ever.

ccrider · 07-18-2009, 09:41 PM

Wow! Nikki! (Susie!) It was awesome to see you get up, let us dust you off & then get back on your bike & ride home!

And what an incredible group of people!
Thanks to all & I'm looking forward to riding with you again.Thanks to Ivan & Daryl & Jeff for leading us -this was a most unforgettable day, on many levels!
Btw- if you are riding with Jeff & happen to need ducktape....it will appear! Gotta love that!

SuzieHiyaBustah · 07-18-2009, 09:49 PM

It was a day, no?! And a great ride... your support means a lot to me; thank you. Hope the rest of the ride was a smooth one, and next time I'm going all the way!!

Whatdcha' expect? I ride a Harley

. Tip o' the hat to Ivan too. Great job of escorting SuzieHB all the way back to Portland.

Buzzy · 07-19-2009, 08:43 AM

SuziHB, I'm so happy to see you in good spirits and relatively unscathed. It could have been worse, but practice with some instruction will cure that. Thanks to Ivan, ccrider and Jeff. The balance of the ride was nice, 53 was fun with a stop in Manzanita for ocean viewing.

Sirena · 07-19-2009, 10:19 AM

Jealous that I was busy yesterday while you went to the coast!
Glad to hear that it was a good group and I hope to meet you all soon

gsxrcora77 · 07-19-2009, 01:30 PM
