@murphomatic Thanks for keeping us prepared for the armageddon! 😂

Post your hilarious riding-related pics here -

IMO much more than an image thing, is the sheer price of a harley. They should be competing on price more with the 4 big imports and their cruiser offerings. Today’s riders are more money conscious and dont want to spend that kind of coin.

lookin sexy! (and the bike looks good too…) 😉

ive already got plans in the works to get back on 2 wheels this year. I definitely cannot put the kinda miles on like I used to. Having a wife and two kids at home means I have to balance my time wisely.

Man at first I thought you were posting up some type of record . I thought “I somehow remember that face”.

Sorry to hear about his passing. I remember many laughs on here because of him. RIP brother.

@murphomatic perhaps Rothenberger has some from his vinyl decal business? Jason Merritt may also be of some help.

Here’s a thread to show off your bikes. What do you have hanging out in your garage? 🏍 🛵

Great recap, Murph! I miss that ride terribly! It’s been too many years since we’ve been on it!

Anyone headed out to do sparring with Memorial Day traffic? I was thinking about taking a day ride on Sunday or Monday … maybe lunch in Fossil? 🙂

This is Nicky Hayden - The Legend

so are we gonna plan this again for the spring?

Weekend looks wonderful. Who’s riding??

Pretty cool indeed. I really need to get my bike out on the street again. Really haven’t touched it in a year or so

Shit! Sorry Okaive! 😞

Looks like someone creamed a rider here on Walnut in Tigard. Paramedics were working on him in the ditch 10 mins ago.

Be safe out there folks…

@okaive said in Custom Gauge Faces:

Nice, cant lie to the cop when he pulls you over for speeding saying you didn’t know how fast your were going

No seriously officer, I was blinded by my instrument cluster!

I’m in. I’ll register for the Grand Tour today, and get the book. I’m totally fine with ~300mile days; not sure if I want to do ~600 mile days. And taking that much time in a row off is going to be an issue for me; being self-employed sucks.

What software are you using to plan the route?

I think some three day weekend type rides would be awesome; blow out of town early on a Friday, get to ‘H’, spend the night, come back up and do ‘I’, ‘J’, and the finish point on Sat., spend the night and then head back home on Sun.

Couple weeks later, go out and do S-O, out and back?

K-N some other weekend?

Post-Covid commuting traffic has been a nice respite from the usual Portland snarl…

Definitely liking the updates.
