Welcome!

This is a journal of my motorcycle journeys great and small, ideas and dreams for roads not yet ridden, and reviews of some of the most famous motorcycle roads in the West.

Fun way into Portland

OR47 is always a great ride although the pavement has deteriorated a bit since I last rode it in 2009.  Heading east on Scappose-Vernonia Highway, the ascent was great with excellent pavement and laughter-inducing combinations but the pavement turned a bit rough on the descent into the Columbia basin.

Rocky Point Road is a technical ride heaven, a fun stash not to be missed.

Logie Trail was a bust, the lane-and-a-half remaining was in terrible condition, but the non-stop turns signify what once was.  Traffic was very light - None on OR47 and I only had to pass two cars the rest of the way until I got into the exurbs.  102mi warm-up.
