Pretty sure I've seen this Beast raced @ Washougal before....

Will be enjoying a 3-day stint here....in just under a month from now...

'69 Chrysler Newport.... my Grandpa had 1, but his was a convertible. It was the 1st car I ever drove....@ the ripe old age of 13. He also pulled a 30ft. Airstream travel trailer with it. Definitely a bonafied ROAD-Yacht @ 19ft. long!

Sweet Kwak Ren....best of luck w/ selling it.

Carruthers back in '69....

Spencer aboard a Kanemoto-tuned TZ 750....

Another legend from down under....

It was so bitchin' to watch Mr. Squiggle slide the YZR around back in 2000.... Absolute Master @ steering w/ the back wheel!!

McCoy & Laconi....

Infamous shot of the Hurricane....

The Red Barchetta is an old Ferrari....& also the name of a tune from Rush's 1981 Moving Pictures album. I saw them Live in Portland on this tour....it was awesome.

The subject of 1 of my favorite tunes from RUSH....

The new "Yer Man" @ the IOMTT.... he's doing Joey proud!

Not that much I reckon....especially since the train tracks have been there since before 1890 when Elgin actually became a town. The Excursion train only goes up to Minam which isn't quite halfway to Joseph...the rest of the track is used by a company that runs recumbant rail cars that you peddle w/ urethane wheels-- like a skateboard.

I can hear Pete now: ...."Indian P.O.S.!"

Our little town's Mayor paid us a visit recently....he's a peach of a human....VERY busy with running a construction company & all the civic duties that being the Mayor brings. He was quite interested in my Ebike, as he's heading up a project that's building a 63 mile long bike trail that follows a minimally used train track over to Joseph. I've rode this trail to it's current termination point a coupla times....it's quite picturesque & NO cage traffic! It takes off just north of the train station & follows the Grand Ronde river for a bit....which you can see has turned into a trickle with the heat wave we've experienced this summer.... The trail doesn't go very far as of yet, as our Mayor tells it....due mainly to butting heads with land owners along the rail's path. A Town Hall meeting recently showed quite a bit of support for proceeding with this project though.... Really looking forward to seeing this trail get completed to @ least Looking Glass creek....it's beautiful up that way! Mr. Mayor also noted that the trail is wide enough to accommodate the Mrs. new trike that I'm fine-tuning.... So....More Ride Report adventures yet to come....

Have ALWAYS loved reading the writings of Mr. Cameron....has an impeccable knack for descriptions.....Learned a ton from this guy.

Proper RaceBike.....

Another sweet Z1R from Sanctuary in Japan....

Odd 1 from MV....

Woke up to Thunder & Lightning this morning....the rain that ensued is quite refreshing though. Gonna be 1 of those days to get "inside" stuff done.
