First it was the west. Then it was the east. Now I think we need to go west again

.

I'll be going to Edgefield tonight, and don't think I'll be able to get there in time today. Maybe I'll try tomorrow if it's not snowing to hard

.

dcamgixxer · 03-07-2009, 01:29 PM

well im clueless, if anyone knows where and wants to ride out there and take the pic let me know. numbers in my profile

motostunter · 03-07-2009, 01:37 PM

Unfortunately, I couldn't get to it today, but on Wednesday, if it is still untouched, I could probably go hit it with someone before the ride at 3:30

Yjeffery · 03-07-2009, 02:12 PM

The Holcomb Creek Trestle on dick rd. this is right, right?
So I froze my ass of and even got a little wet. I really
wanted to get the next tag photo but my hands were
about to stop working... maybe I can give the honor to some
one with heated grips? Of if you can wait till wed I'll get you guys a
new tag! Ether way I had fun getting out there, not so much
coming back, frozen.

himmmm now that I look at the original I don't think this is the same trestle?!?

motostunter · 03-07-2009, 02:14 PM

That is exactly what I thought. 20 mins on google and I found this:

Yjeffery · 03-07-2009, 02:16 PM

well now I won't feel bad leaving you all without a tag..

dcamgixxer · 03-07-2009, 02:44 PM

in the original it looks like the road curves...

Yjeffery · 03-07-2009, 02:46 PM

I think I know where it is now but, I'm still trying to warm my bones...
maybe If I get the full faring out I can grab it!

I think you may have gotten this one. I was thinking it was the one in Helvatia, but I seem to be mistaken. Oh well. There is always the next one.

I think your right. I got a tip after I had come down from the
hill that it was outside of Vernonia... nice job... What eves It
gave me an excuse to get out the 650...

FZ6 in Gresham · 03-07-2009, 02:54 PM

This is another angle with more of the road in it!

Cold ride from Gresham. I better head back so I can get to the party at Edgefield tonight.

47 highway before Vernonia. I wonder if trains still use this bridge. If so I'll wait for the train to passby before I go under it!

FZ6 in Gresham · 03-07-2009, 08:34 PM

I'll try and get the next posting up tomorrow! Happy Birthday Mark, those pink chaps look good on you.

FZ6 in Gresham · 03-08-2009, 12:48 PM

I went out for a cold, slushy, slick ride

this morning to get a new tag and here it is.

You all might want to wait a day or two for the snow to melt.

dcamgixxer · 03-08-2009, 01:01 PM

you suck! i needed an excuse to get out. now i have none. that looks way to cold. but then again i do have some new pirelli's on... maybe i'll go lookin, doubt it tho.

dcamgixxer · 03-08-2009, 01:14 PM

dcamgixxer · 03-08-2009, 02:07 PM

Good eyes.

dposalski · 03-08-2009, 04:12 PM

Wish the weather was better. I would be all over that!!

uPoNiT · 03-09-2009, 02:35 AM

Here is a hint:

woman's suffrage

Nice Spot

CBRinPDX · 03-09-2009, 07:26 AM

I know right where it is.... but no way I'm going out there in the snow. I'd rather work.

Lee650 · 03-09-2009, 11:44 AM

I am not as brave as David(FZ6).

I think I will wait until this new round of snow melts then go looking.

RevrdMark · 03-09-2009, 05:17 PM

Stupid snow!

dcamgixxer · 03-09-2009, 11:04 PM

I have class until 2:20. but I would go with you after that if you want. send me a text, my number is in my profile.

dcamgixxer · 03-09-2009, 11:45 PM

yeah we can do that

ninjarider · 03-10-2009, 12:03 AM

I'll ride to class tomorrow then. just send me a text of where you want me to meet you

blur95 · 03-10-2009, 01:25 AM

New guy swooping in here, stealing your thunder...

There was still snow falling, but not enough to affect the roads, just enough to cover the visor really quickly. The weather was really crazy, I started the ride in the sun, had some rain and sleet for a while, then snow, a bit of hail, more rain, then back to sun. Definitely the kind of weather that makes me appreciate my 'stich and my heated gear.

Definitely a ride worth going on. I grew up very near that road, and used to take my car out that way on a weekly basis. I live in North Portland now, and this was the first time I had taken the bike out that way.

I ended up with about 5 hours of riding, including the stops along the way, I think around 120 miles.

So the downside is that I didn't get any other good photos that would have a good ride attached to them, but here's my best shot:

The bike is on a trail that probably shouldn't have motor vehicles on it, but there were no signs posted, so I went for it.

Good job!

Now I have to figure out where your tag is.

CBRinPDX · 03-10-2009, 08:49 AM

Good job on jumping right in Blur.

5 hours of riding.. that must have been quite the detour.

You're just tempting us Motard guys to post wicked tags..
