  • Central Oregon Trip on "Old Man"

    Hey folks,

    Well we made it on our trip to Sunriver, OR and back in 1 piece. Only issue I had is I think the carbs fell out of sync on the way home... and I may have possibly blown a rear air-shock. Other than that it went well. Total run was just shy of 1000 miles. Would have been another 400 if we could have gone everywhere we had planned. We did not get a chance to go up McKenzie Pass or down to Crater Lake. Mother nature decided to put snow on both of them while we were down there. Guess they will have to wait till next time.

    Here's some pictures for you to enjoy.

    We stopped on our way thru Vancouver to pay our respects to my Dad. Figured since his bike was going on its first road trip in 20 years I should take it to him for a visit...

    If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

          I hear ya buddy... as most can tell I haven't been on here much lately. I've been busy lately. We're in the middle of the busy season, which is also vacation season. Seem's there's an employee missing every day. Boss is gone this week... I'm gone for a week again middle of next month. Been working on my boat since I got home from Sunriver, as it is its turn for a vacation. So between work, boat, and yard/garden work, I'm not sure what day it is by Wednesday! At least the weathers nice so I get to ride a motorcycle to work every day!!!!
