Awesome day down on the Mist Hiway just outside of Clatskanie, Oregon.

That road up there is awesome. We need to have a PDX goon bike meet. I know of 3 of us now that have sportbikes.

I am bored shitless, it is storming here so I was loving around in the garage, snapped a couple of pics.

Hmmm... way too much poo poo in the garage for a good pic so.. breakout the photoshop and my uber-weak skillllzzzzzz

The seat is temporary, ordering a custom seat pan and gonna try my hand at leather work and make me a thinner seat. Custom rear fender coming as well.

Can someone post the video of the guy in full leathers demonstrating proper (and inproper) motorcycle waves?

It ends up as a song and dance.

I tried looking, but can't find what I want. It was posted in the "Why Harley Riders Suck", thread, if I recall correctly.

Yea its for sale, but as long as I have it im down to ride. I would like to get in a couple more rides before its over, I just have no one to ride with. The amount of newbs on literbikes on the last groupride I went on was enough to make me not want to go to those anymore. They are fun, but sometimes it turns into a pissing contest of who can ride the hardest and craziest and I don't like that.

Yeah, I went and picked up the GSXR today, and while riding home I was thinking, man, I'm going to miss this bike. Then when I got home, shut it off, and opened the garage, and it wouldn't start. I'm not going to miss it that much.

I simply do not care that the F4i is the most perfectly practical bike for me to upgrade to from the F3. I am buying a 600rr. I've always been willing to give up a little practicality for better performance/looks, and my god that bike is a looker.

The stubby pipe look is beginning to grow on me. Looks rather fitting on that GSXR. Lose the passenger pegs and integrate the tail lights and it will look very clean and purposeful.

Hes getting a fender elim next and a I think some sort of aftermarket mirrors since he doesn't think his current ones let him see too much behind him

Not really, I am not a small guy and I have ape arms. (For the OMG Safety Krew, I know, I know. My only excuse is that I was 1/8th of a mile from my house, just to take some pics for a website.)

My Dad builds scale-model stationary engines in the winter, then takes them to engine shows in the summer. I went to hang out with them today because the show they were at has a huge auction and I wanted to see if there was anything worth bidding on.

While there, I checked out some of the stuff on exhibit, and they had a couple Cushman motor scooters that were pretty unique looking.





I don't know anything about these, I thought they were strange looking and they may interest someone here.
