Hey,

 I know this is a joke at this point but the forecast is for sunny this Sat and Sun and in the 50's

http://www.kptv.com/wxmap/9430868/detail.html

(okay okay i know) suppose by chance it actually holds true, shouldnt we try to have a little ride get together?  it doesnt have to be anything spectacular dam i just got to get out im dying here.  Ninja master got jipped on her new years ride, we have to make it up to her. Ahh hope i didnt doom this weekend by posting this. Well have to be carefull theres alot of gravel everywhere, should probably try to start the ride around 11am since the morning temps are freezing but up to 50 by noon. As for the route i dont care.

I was thinking more of an ARK... something a tad larger than a boat.

That's probably true.  I'll go over to Mom & Dad's place and borrow the canoe.  It has a weight limit of 600 lbs, so I should be able to float the SS in that.


Anyway, down in Wilsonville there's so much gravel on the road it looks like I'd need to wheel out a dirt bike or quad.

I wanna ride... we will see... if weather sucks, then I am ripping apart the SV and making some upgrades. (Or at least pretending too.)

i went for a ride the other day, I went to get into the left hand turn lane and hit a patch of gravel, my front wheel almost slid out from underneath me.  This gravel everywhere has got me all sallied up, but dammit i am going nuts i need to ride. If i crash, oh well i need a new tank anyway......

i went out for a little ride today east of Troutdale toward the gorge.  The road conditions out there are pretty good since i don't think they put down much gravel during the storm.  I can tell you leather definitely does not cut it in this weather.  Wind was blowing very hard in the open stretches that i thought i was going to get blown over.

Hey All,   I'll meet you guys at Motocorsa at 10 a.m.  Don't let a little gravel or cold slow you down.

Be strong and get out there and ride.  Grin
