DAY FOUR - THE FINALE! We started out from Sutherlin with the rain coming down as forecasted. A gloomy day for my birthday! https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/62520-Herding-Kittens-Coast-Dualsport-Ride-In-S-Oregon/i-JRBvNn8/0/dbe208ff/X2/DSC03152-X2.jpg https://photos...

DAY THREE We started out from Gold Beach once again in beautiful weather! We had a bodacious breakfast at Double D's Restaurant and were topped off with fuel, so we were good to go! https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/62520-Herding-Kittens-Coast-Dualsport-Ride-In-S-Ore...

DAY TWO We started out with fog from Crescent City, CA. Ugh. Couldn't see the famous lighthouse, etc., but when we hit the Redwoods, things opened up! We crossed the Smith River and headed up Low-Divide Road. This would be a short day at 103 miles. https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and...

6/25/20 Herding Kittens Dualsport Ride Through Southern Oregon
DAY ONE After the prior night's lunacy, we (Scott Wilson, Kerry Owen, Doug White, Dave Klug, John Kaufman, Rod Nordstrom & I) left 'kickstands up' at 8AM (and Danno was even ready!). We of course had to do the obligatory group before photo. https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Tra...

Re: Good places to practice in sand near Seattle?
Unsure where to practice, perhaps in E. Washington in the high desert. A couple tips:
* Ride with your weight on the back tire, i.e. keep leaning back.
* Stay on the gas
* Refrain from using the front brake
Congrats on the 690 - I like mine SO MUCH better than my heavy 1200GSA!

Re: 2019 Black Dog Ride!
And here is a post from Travis:
I’m very disappointed about the cancelation of the 2020 ride. Here is a link to my 2019 BlackDog video.

4/7/20 ADV Riding Northern California
We (DaveR, MarkK, RodN, TinyK, WillyM and yours truly) all met up at the Arco Gas Station in S. Ashland and immediately went up the old highway. This whole COVID 19 Virus dealio had given us a bad case of cabin fever, so we were anxious to do some 'moto distancing'. Once on top we sailed down Coles...

Re: 2020 Black Dog Ride
3/31/20: Well, we got a call from the County Fairgrounds and, since the forest is now closed (both national and county), we've decided to cancel this year's event due to the COVID 19 Virus issue. We are VERY SORRY, but we would NOT want someone to get infected and be unhealthy due to our event! How...

3/22/20 Dualsporting Elk Creek With Rod
This was my first time out in the dirt since my major accident and it felt GOOD to be back in the saddle again! Still disappointing to see so much trash out in our forests, but it was still nice to get out! Social distancing at its finest! Many thanks to Rod for putting up with me! -Tom https://vim...

Re: 2020 B-Dog
3/20/20: Well, we decided to give things a couple weeks to confirm/deny whether the virus situation gets worse or not. IF things get worse, we will cancel and refund all the pre-entries (there are plenty). IF not, then it's full speed ahead. Stay tuned!

3/12/20 Riding Northern California
Rod and I took off from a chilly, 31 degrees in Shady Cove. Wow, was it cold! We headed onto Interstate 5 and decided to pull over at Ashland to warm up my paws before the big trip to Callihans at the top of the mountain. Just as we pulled over, low and behold, there was Tiny and Willy doing the sa...
