I have my safety gear with me so if I do work late I'll be set. No more riding in office attire for Dick. Looking forward to working that flat spot off the center of my rear tire! Dick W. |

Sorry I couldn't make it. A little more organization will go a long way with some of the newer riders. We ride this area every day but for those who don't it's nice to give them an idea what they can expect |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2012 From: Hillsboro, OR I Ride: 2009 Yamaha YZF R6 | Recon Mission For Tuesday Night Rides Dang, Russell and I had a communications mixup. Originally we were to meet at my place. My jacket and gear, with cell phone was hanging on the bike out front. Russell was texting me to meet him at the Chevron. I was inside the house watching SPEED. My guess was Russell was delayed by a more critical matter. When I went out to the bike, I checked my cell and saw Russell's text. MY BAD. I did take a run up to Bald Peak though. Dick W. |

| Newbie Joined: Jul 2012 From: Oregon I Ride: 2008 Ninja 250 | Thanks for the ride guys, was nice to get out with a group for a change. I will get out again soon for a follow up. Next time though I think we should loop Hagg an additional time. Its effort to get there might as well enjoy it! And just curious how many group speeding tickets you earned... lol. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2012 From: Hillsboro, OR I Ride: 2009 Yamaha YZF R6 | Group speeding tickets? Thanks Jordan, It was nice having you with the group. Good recommendation for that second loop around Hagg Lake. At times we're under a little pressure to get back to Ava's at a reasonable hour. That second loop would likely add no more than 15 minutes to the ride. From my end, I would be good with the additional loop. We'll have to discuss this option between 5:30 and 6:00 PM with our group prior to the Tuesday ride. GROUP SPEEDING TICKETS? I have no idea what you are referring to. I believe on the FEW times when I looked down at the display, my speedometer was indicating a valid speed. From my experience, we've never been stopped by a speedometer enforcement officer AS A GROUP. When you get to be as OLD as I am the joints start to get a bit stiff. At times my right wrist seems to give me problems during the throttle roll on. Do you think I need to invest in a better throttle? Looking forward to seeing you out on one of our rides again.

If you are leaving from Beaverton my favorite is Farmington to bald peak then down laurelwood and out to the lake from there. |

| Permit Joined: Jul 2012 From: Tigard, OR I Ride: 2012 BMW R1200R Classic | Where/when are you all meeting for the ride tomorrow (31st)? I'd love to try and make it.. Sam edit: I just read the first post on here, and I assume it's at the Ava coffee in Beaverton? Sorry if that was the obvious answer... wasn't sure. Last edited by r1200r; 07-30-2012 at 03:25 PM.. |
