This is the place.

Announce where and when a ride is happening to wherever.

Discuss local Victory events.

Lets have some fun and crank out a few miles together.

Sunday is looking like a good day to go for a ride and charge up the battery.
Where should we go? KEN

I'm headed up to Corvallis tomorrow to connect with Spamaster (from *** forum). He want to see my Madstad windshield brackets. We are meeting near the fire station at NW Harrison and 4th. (maybe the Burger King or McDonald's to use the restroom) We'll probably go for a ride somewhere from there. So far; we are meeting there at 11 AM unless the weather guesser are correct about a bit of freezing fog, then it might be later.KEN

We ended up going on Sunday instead of Saturday. The damp cold fog is not my favorite thing to ride in. We met at Peoria Park on Peoria Rd.

We BS'ed for over 2 hours about our old bikes and the new XCT''s we both got around Thanksgiving. It started cooling off. We headed north on Peoria Rd. We split off at Highway 34. Gary headed west and I headed east on 34. I went home the long way. 34 to Seven Mile Rd. to Brownsville. At the south end of Brownsville is Northern Rd to the east that connects to 228 after a bunch of corners. After Crawfordsville I went south on Brush Cr Rd back to Springfield. I got about 100 more miles on my odometer.
Once we get more local Victory riders this should be a great place to find out about rides. Wandering out of your normal rides to find out about other riders local rides will be fun.
Later, KEN

Ken, if the weather prognosticator is accurate, Eugene is supposed to be dry and 60 today. Are you gonna take advantage? We're drowning up here in The People's....er Portland. If we ever get a respite from this stuff, maybe we (and others) can meet at a half way point -- would that be Albany?

Yes Ritz
I am planning on getting off work around 3 and riding a few country roads.
I'm sure there are a bunch of nice roads between Albany and Pdx that "need" to be ridden. Maybe you could show us a few when the days get longer and dryer.

Ken,
My internal GPS has never worked well and can't remember a road I've been on for beans. As I can recall, 213 is about the only alternative to I-5, unless you know more routes. Ever go into oregonmotorcyclist.com?
