Breakin' the Ice

Just signed up & thought I'd introduce myself......
I'm an almost 45y/o PDX Native...(Endangered species these days )
Been riding everyday, year-round for the past 20 years....it's the only way for me to keep my sanity.
How I found this place is interesting.......came outta the 7-11 that I frequent everyday on my way to work, & this friendly guy told me he left a sticky note on my XT's tach face with BlackDog's addy on it......COOL! I thought.....a local website with my interest @ heart.

I spent 5 months last year in Bend due to a job I took as a CAD Drafter for a Structural Engineering firm....was hoping to sell my house & move there, but the then the housing market fell on it's face & I had to move back as it was just getting too spendy to keep 2 households running.

Here's a pic of my trusty steed that I took last month on a Central Oregon RideOut to the Tumalo Reservoir area....


So, looking forward to conversing & riding with other members here.

Welcome Scott, and you need to make those rims and swingarm black too!

Thanx Tom

In the process of looking for a back-up bike so I can take the XT's rims, swingarm & frame to a friend to get 'em powdercoated.
'Cause I start to go into convulsions if I can't ride for more than 2 days in a row.

Here's another 1 of my favorite destinations ....

Well, offhand that's either Detroit Lake or up past Estacada?

Good eye Tom...
Too narrow to be Detroit lake.......but in fact it is the North fork reservoir, 6 miles the other side of Estacada.

A convienent location for my other toy ......
