Fall Oregon ride. Wow!

Just got back from a four day ride from Eugene out to Northeastern Oregon and back. Over the Mackenzie Hwy., out to Condon, Heppner and over to Ukiah and down to John Day. Really fun, very fast. One day for four hours we ran between 85 and 100 mph. No cars, no cops and clean roads with beautiful sweeping corners. The Hypermotard S took the lead and the reworked Racetech suspension just performed flawlessly. What a bike! Just a great time. Try that area if you like uncrowded fast clean roads. Martyn

That area is one of my favorite places to ride, much more preferable to the over crowded Puget Sound area. I usually get over there at least once a year.

Wneh riding that area, watch out for pickup drivers. They think they own both lanes of the broad sweepers and they strew gravel across the road as they cut over to the shoulder trying to straighten out 20mph corners.
