Uncle Hud, I don't have a photo hosting site anymore. The bike in my avatar is the one for sale. If you email me, I can send you the photos. I'm just home from at 12 hour work day, and don't have the energy to pursue this tonight.

It is a sad day in Oregon. I have to sell my 2005 FJR 1300. Arthritis is compromising my ability to safely ride, and I need to sell. I'm the 3rd owner (I've had it since 2011). Title is clear, bike has never been down, no reported accidents. It is currently lowered with a 7/8" linkage, and...

I have so missed reading ride reports! Looks like this was epic.

Eugene to Bend has some great roads, and there is the opportunity for quite the "pub crawl" in Bend. Eugene has some really lovely craft brew places, and lots of variety. I would be more than happy to scout some of that for this ride, should that be necessary...

I hear tell that Frenchy is planning another ride soon. I think "Rain Cloud Follows" has been getting restless.

And...as defined by a fairly "typical" tuba player; a typical viola player is somewhat eccentric and an introvert who does not understand that one person can talk with motorcycling with one person, "Carmina Burana" with another, and peg her as a viola player (her vehicle, with a cultural custom...

Me too!

I have a good friend (who has been my tuba instructor off and on) who got hired as the bass trombone player with the Newport (OR) Symphony, and his first performance with them was last weekend. The weather was beautiful, and so we set out. We chose to go from Eugene by way of Alsea Falls, to...

Great RR. Looks like an amazing trip. I just might have to try that "no plan" feature....

Great RR. Hope you waved west when you were in LaPine...

Looks like a fun ride. Your lighthouse is Coquille River lighthouse in Bandon; Umpqua is a tall white lighthouse that isn't nearly as nice as this one! Smith River Rd. is a fun one to ride. Curiously, are any of the Eugene/Springfield damns on your damtour??

Waterfalls are one of my favorite destinations; thanks for posting your journey. To combine it with your spouse and some good grub while motorcycling is just fantastic. I think I, too, will wander around your blog and get some photo education. Thanks again for your post!

Great RR. I am envious that you can day trip it. It is a 2 day ride to get there, but it is SO worth it. Thanks for sharing!

Yes I have...several times! I like riding it south to north, then hopping on SR 242 (McKenzie Hwy) and zipping over to Bend for the day!

Nice Dam report!

Catching a sunny February day, and some free time, I asked the FJR pilot, "Do you want to catch a light house, a water fall, or a covered bridge on our ride today?" Lane County, OR has some really great options, and I have a decent ride for each of them (although to get to some of the treats...

Tyler, thanks for bringing this back. I have a trip to the lost coast in my future... Great post, a amazing pictures. Thanks!

Rexford, We're sort of in the same boat. I will have to dig up a garage picture, but my pick-up sits outside while the Subaru (which is newer, and the better half's car) and the 4 motorcycles get to stay in the garage. 1 FJR (hers) 1 FZ1 (mine) 2 Yamaha V-Stars (one each). Our move to the...

The pants are Kilimanjaro lined mesh; they are great for summer riding, and with the liners in and some thermals, they do OK to about 35 degrees. Just bulky. The jackets are new this year, much warmer than the Kilimanjaro jackets!

I note that I voted but didn't reply...old age, I think! Started riding in 2003 after my m-i-l died at age 61 with too much life left unlived. We took the MSF class and bought cruisers, since that was kind of what we had viewed as real motorcycles... I was on a Honda Shadow Spirit 1100, Karyn...
