Alaskan Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The stretch from John Day to Seneca is really great, but the deer were holding a convention in the later afternoon! As a matter of fact, there were deer everywhere in this area in the late afternoon. Quitting early makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Willy Posted October 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 9, 2013 Choco - count me in. I have the dates on my calendar. I have not made lodging arrangements. But I'll look through the thread and get that taken care of. Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Sparrow75 Posted October 29, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks Choco, for getting this going! I rode some of those roads and want to do them again (especially 395). I know my bike can make that far, so count me in. And the winter project will be to get some new Givi V35s onto my ol'VF. Stayed at the Pheonix and it was not bad. Convenient laundry facilities there too. 1. Choco2. DfnsMn693. MaxSwell4.Willy5. Sparrow75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harhond60 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have also covered these roads a few times and have to admit they are some of the best anywhere on the west coast. However, I have only ridden them on my Harleys and am looking forward to a totally new experience on my newly acquired '04 VFR. This is my first post so if I'm skipping a step in joining up with you all in July, please excuse my rookie fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DfnsMn69 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Welcome to the nut house... Give your local dealer a call and make sure all of the recalls were done on your bike. They will need the full VIN. We'll have to get together in the spring and get a couple rides in prior to the OT ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harhond60 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks for the recall info and will look into it. Prev owner was very meticulous so would be suprised if anything was missed. Thanks again and looking forward to an early spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi, all. This is your ride and I should keep my mouth shut. But I can't. Hood River is a lovely town, but lodging is kinda expensive. I always stay at the Rodeway Inn across the river in Stevenson. And there is a great brewpub a couple blocks away. walkingmanbrewing.com You guys have planned a great ride. I am jealous.

Veefer800Canuck Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We're gonna need more than 12 bikes I think. Where's all the YEG, YYC and YVR people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Looks like fun. Great roads and a lot that I've already done. Don't think I'll be able to make it to this one. I think I'm going to do a cross-Canada trip or California again earlier in the summer. Have fun, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly considering it... right now, I'm solidifying 2014 vacation and time off. As a side note, are non-VFR riders welcome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YWGVIFFER Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Guys, I thought I would get on this early, as I know summer time hotel bookings can be tough. I booked in at the Best Western in Hood River for the 23rd, no problem they had all the info lined up. When I called the Bridge Street Inn, Baker City ( I talked to Jamie) they did not have any info on VFRD and they said they didn't have any open rooms for that week. Jamie also mentioned that her boss, Thoy, is the lady that generally deals with these bookings, and she is away in Thailand for a month. Is there another name it would be booked under at this Motel? I was able to book a room at the Red Lion in Bend, but she did not have any information on a VFRD group. She did have an "Anderson Motorcycle Group" arriving on the 25th as well, is it under that name? Anyways, very much looking forward to some amazing twisties and meeting some fellow V4 enthusiasts!

Member Contributer jfviffer Posted January 3, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2014 If your thinking of going you should book rooms soon, Red lion in Bend is sold out except for the block of rooms Choco held under Vfrd (Anderson) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted January 5, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2014 For planning purposes, it would be good to review this construction alert for Highway 58 east of Oakridge. The highway has a tunnel that has become a real problem and there has been ongoing construction work on it for well over a year. It was supposed to be completed in 2013, but was not and construction has been suspended over the winter. Scheduled completion is now October, 2014. While construction has been going on, the highway has been closed at the tunnel location at night, and during daylight hours the waits have been as long as 45 mins to an hour this past summer. The location is about 23 miles East of where the ride will pick up Highway 58 at Oakridge. I wouldn't necessarily let it change the route, but at least the group will be prepared for delays. Map (point "B" - approximate) http://goo.gl/maps/tfCmT Here's the construction alert http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION2/Pages/OR58_salt_creek_tunnel.aspx http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION2/docs/area5/OR%2058%20SCT%20Extended%20release.pdf.

If any more problems, use my name. Lee Anderson from Duvall, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
