Also, I am the still proud owner of a 1983 Honda 650 Nighthawk. Just can't justify selling it. Great seeing the Ladies riding. Teacher, Teacher, I declare...do your students know you're a "biker"??? |

| Newbie Joined: Nov 2008 From: Roseburg, OR I Ride: Quad, actually: Honda 400EX w/a few 'upgrades' ;) | Hey all. I'm Ashley- some of you may know me? I'm one of the few girls proudly proclaiming I know how to ride a bike. No, I don't ride motorcycles- I'd like to someday, but for now, I ride my quad..the love of my life My one tried and true hobby has always been and will always be riding my bike. Rain or shine, cold or hot, you can always count me in. I am working FT and going to college to obtain a degree in Dental Hygiene. I have an awesome boyfriend who rides far better than I do- a true stud. I'm slowly catching up, no doubt. So, I ride a tricked out Honda 400EX (it is possible). It never fails to turn heads- so don't be a hater. I enjoy racing on flat track drags and dirt tracks for points & money =) I will only wear Fox- and always stay loyal. If you have ever gone to the Camas Fun Days- you will recognize me- as I seem to be the only girl (brave?) enough to drag it. Hit me up- maybe we could pull off a riding group?Take care~ Ashley #221 |

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jan 2008 From: Warrenton, Oregon I Ride: 2004 Yamaha R1 | Hey Roseburg. I'm John and I lived there from '88-'92. Joined the Army in '92 and got to see the world for 8 years. Came back to Oregon when I left the Army in '00, and now live between Seaside and Astoria. My parents are still in Roseburg, so I'm down there every few months or so. I had my R1 down there last summer and wish I could've met up with some of you for a ride. I'll keep watching this thread and try to meet up with you guys when I'm there. If any of you make it up to the north coast, let me know, so we can meet/ride up here. You guys have some fantastic roads and awesome summer riding weather. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jan 2009 From: Creswell, Oregon I Ride: '08 DL 1000, '99 605 ATK | [QUOTE=Frill- If you are new here please post up here....:[/QUOTE] Howdy, Most of my information can be found in my profile. I live in Creswell but for day rides I like to ride North Douglas Co. roads. Just feels much more rural than around Pew-gene. Fell off my DL 1000 turning around on snow and broke 4 ribs Jan 2nd. Couldn't stand not riding in the nice weather so last Thurs the 15th rode to Tolleys for Chocolate Silk Cake and a cup of coffee. I didn't want to venture into frostie areas but did ride Metz Hill and Green Valley Rds. Tons of good roads down that way. North Bank, Coos Bay Wagon Rd, Umpqua-Tyee, 42-S and much more are regularly rode by me. I also have a DR 650 so explore the gravel and not so paved forest roads with that, haven't rode it since my get off because I don't want to re-hurt my ribs. But I'll get back to exploring soon. I'm trying to lay out a route from Tillamook to Gold Beach and so far have a good start on the section from Alsea to Elkton. Next'll be Elkton to Powers so could use some local guidance there. I'll post up when I'm headed out that way. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Feb 2009 From: Myrtle Creek, OR I Ride: '04 FLSTC - Heritage Softail Classi | Nice to meet you Hello, I live in Myrtle Creek area. My ride is a '04 FLSTC. I have not been riding as much lately due to the cold weather. (This is my first winter that I am not riding much.) It seems there are not very many cruiser riders on this forum, but sounds like you are all friendly people. Nice to meet you. Hey, Mike(Oremike). What's up? Those are some nice photos you took in Yachat. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jan 2009 From: Creswell, Oregon I Ride: '08 DL 1000, '99 605 ATK | Hi Takkamaki, good to see you here. Did you survive the lay offs at the Casino? I'm still looking for work in all the wrong places when the weather is nice. Right before I got laid off I bought a new Sony A-300 camera so I'm enjoying learning to take good photos with it. Now if I could just find someone to pay me a ridiculous salary to ride my motorcycle and take pictures I'd have my dream job. Stay in touch my friend we'll ride together again I'm sure. |

We left wearing shorts and sandals. T-shirts were in our packs and no helmets. It was 110 degrees in AZ. We didn't use slabs cuz that was boring and hot. We took roads through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By the time we got to Lassen National Park, we were frozen and had to stop to buy coats and gloves. We kept changing rider to passenger to let our hands thaw. We even had to backtrack several times due to roads closed by snow in June! We each walked bow legged for at least a week after that trip. A month later, the memory of pain in my a$$ was so fresh, I went back to AZ by Greyhound Bus. We were nuts to take the trip as unprepared as we were, but now looking back, I know it was an awesome experience. I wish I could have a bike like that just for cruising around town. That was a great bike and the memories of riding it had a lot to do with me getting back to riding after over 20 years. | |

| Training Wheels Joined: Oct 2008 From: Winston, Oregon | Hey all. I haven't been on for a while and havent ridden much. Hey Oremike, we got stuff in common like North Bank and CBWR and a DR650 and a Bandit 1200S. I'm definitely interested in exploring on some-paved-and-some-not roads. That road to Powers is one twisty bitch. In fact, that DR is the only bike I've had out of the shop since the snow fell. PM me with time & day and your route to Elkton. |

I'm hoping for a chance to ride my bike to her house this summer by going down the coast to Reedsport then cutting across to Sutherlin. I just looked and realized I already told the story in this same thread on Post #61. I guess I'm really getting old now. I'm starting to repeat my stories. I guess I'm really getting old now.

I meant to ask you how long you've had your bike. There was a guy selling one several months ago and I toying with buying it. I wondered if it was the same one. I love those. It was the same color as yours. I think they're badass. | |

| Zone Head Joined: Apr 2009 From: Roseburg, Oregon I Ride: 2008 Ninja 650R | What a shame it took me this long to find this forum.... My name is Jason and decided I bought my 2008 Ninja 650 on impulse for my birthday last Oct 15th. Since then I have been riding and modding the thing and have had the time of my life. I have seen tons of people riding and may have been seen a time or two. I took a ride to Grants Pass April 4th and got several compliments on her. I'm always up for a ride and hope to meet alot of you, and especially see and/or help out on that Ninja 650 street fighter I read about some posts back... ![]() |

| Zone Head Joined: Apr 2009 From: Roseburg, Oregon I Ride: 2008 Ninja 650R | I was looking for a digital gauge for a z1000 as I'm thinking of doing a swap since the plugs match up.... that led me to the sportbikes website, and i saw they had an Oregon forum, went in there and read about pnw and finally ended up here... Better late than never... Too bad your tireless, it can't get any better to ride right now... this was taken today at stuart park... How this for representin lol ![]() It was the group Bikers for Christ, they went and prayed for each individual rider and bike... I'm not all that religious but figured it couldn't hurt... Great bunch of people though... didn't mind I was the only sport bike there... Last edited by varment; 04-05-2009 at 02:25 PM.. |

| Moderator ![]() Joined: Mar 2008 From: Roseburg, OR I Ride: to be determined | Love being the only sportbike, LOL. Glad you represented. I was going to cruise by but by the time I made it that way everybody was pulling out. Maybe with a bit more activity on here than in times past, we can get some bike nights or something going. Spread the word. Some guys in Portland and Washington pack around a bunch of PNWRiders.com stickers. They hand em out to other riders. |
