      So what part of Oregon are you in? There will be 3 XS11s and a HD going up 1 early September! Geezer is up near Portland, and I know there are a few more scattered in the state.

                    I am in SE Portland near I-205 and Stark. Always looking for folks to ride with. Hey CapnKirk, did you ever get your carbs dialed in? My offer still stands if you need a hand.

                      I stopped on my way home from the Olympia rally to visit my daughter in Portland. She works in an office park off I-5, exit 92. (Hwy 217 exit.) When I left I went back north on I-5 to catch I-84 west, took over an hour to get to a point where I could shift into 5th gear. Most of the hour was 1st and 2nd gear, when we were not stopped....

                      I lived in Hillsboro for quite a few years, have relatives in Milwaukie suburb of Portland, could not believe how much worse the traffic has gotten since I left in '90.

                      Still, had camped in McIver park SW of Portland, came north along the Clackamas River, very nice ride and countryside. I do miss the greenery.

                      Portland area is a nice place to work and live, but the traffic is now big city and a real PITA.

                          No, I haven't had the time - time (and the lack thereof) is a big issue for me: I work full time, I own/operate a recording studio, I'm in two bands, I have a wife, two kids, three cats, a dog and a 55 gallon tank that is home to an oscar and two plecos. Needless to say, I'm friggin' busy!

                          I've got a garage, some tools and some cold ones if anyone can make it over to my place for carb-sync 101.

                            I'm in Tualatin (just down the hill from Portland on I5.)

                            However I've been way to busy this year go to on any group rides. In fact my current ride (79 Standard) is waiting for me to get it back on the road.)

                            My website is www.OregonMotorcycleParts.com and should be confused with the other website posted a few messages back...
