I keep checking this thread
for spring break pictures. WHen are bikinis going to turn up? and beer bongs? and snoop dog filming girls gone wild etc?
I must be getting old, spring break has really gone calm.

I live in the wrong corner of the US for that type of spring break. Spring up here in the PNW means it is more likely to rain than snow. I still have to wear my winter riding jacket and pants on our annual spring break trips.

Some more videos
Some more video taken by Randy on Oregon State Route 19 between Fossil and John Day. This route parallels the John Day River. Randy was in the fast group and did a commendable job hanging with the sport tourers on his VTX 1800. I must remind him to clean the windshield more frequently.
The end of the footage shows the unplanned reunion of the fast group with my slow group at a cafe in Dayville and our motel in John Day.

Ouch, that video is painful to watch. The VTX converted every corner of note into three to five corners within a corner. I didn't see anything in that video that couldn't have been done easily in a Cadillac (not that it would have been as much fun).
It looks like you had great weather. I always love to get out out away from the traffic no matter what I'm riding and Eastern Oregon is one of my favorite areas.

I keep telling Randy to get a Honda ST1300 if he continues to ride with us. His cruiser buddies can't understand why he goes through twice as many tires as they do.

Here is Randy's video of Oregon Hwy. 245 over Dooley Mtn. between US 26 (east of John Day) and Baker City, Oregon. The red blur in the red helmet is Mark Turbo.
