Annual Friends and Family Ride



Two years ago three of my uncles and I took a motorcycle trip around Oregon. We had a great time and decided it should be an annual event. Last year our group grew to eight. We had originally planned to go north to the Olympic Peninsula, cross over to Victoria and loop around through Vancouver, BC. Rain forced a changed and we ended up heading south to the Redwoods. The trip was memorable, especially with the weather. Anyone will tell you that 38 degrees is way to cold for motorcycle riding, especially those who were on the trip. Rain is also suboptimal. The weather kept our trip a "Fine and Pleasant Misery" as described by Patrick McManus. We made many memories and will never forget: Flamethrower burgers are called flamethrowers because they are spicy not because they are flame-broiled. The southern Oregon Coast is unbelievably beautiful. Harleys are great for chasing off deer. And there is no such thing as a bad day with good friends/family. We will see how next year's trip turns out, we are planning on Glacier National Park and Banff.

  2. I think I might work on my motorcycle skills so I can get rain on next year. Looks like a lot of fun rain or shine.
