Moving down to Bend this week. Any local riders? Met one girl when I was down there a few weeks ago that rode a F4i.

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 08:50 PM

Hmmm, nobody??? Beans...better get me some fliers to pass around when I get there.

Dang!! I'm way jealous!! Bend is probably my favorite place in the whole world to live!! I love that city....it's growing big time though. I'm going to plan a trip next summer from Portland to central oregon and stay in bend for awhile and then head back. Bend has great restaurants and beer too....not to mention mt. bachelor. What's making you move there? Job?

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 09:00 PM

Kind of a long story. But just getting a new start and have a life-long buddy that lives there. So mostly just a change of scenery(really good scenery at that) and i can transer jobs down there, so that helps.

Don't forget the many twisty roads between Bend and the valley...Cascade Mountain Range for the win

R6Limited · 10-09-2006, 09:05 PM

Yeah, last time I was down there I took 26 to Mt. Hood in the cage. Looked to be a fun one on the bike too.

sounds cool

Spec · 10-11-2006, 12:19 PM

Do like I did when I moved to Portland, and get the word out! I know there's tons of riders there, maybe Bend just hasnt discovered the internet yet?

Cowgirl, let me know when you do that and I'd love to tag along. I meant to take a trip to Bend this summer but didnt. Maybe I still will if theres a nice weekend ahead.

ima steal your fuel pump from your truck so you cant leave...

Jace · 10-11-2006, 12:28 PM

Color me jealous. i love Bend and go there at least twice a year. Can't wait for the snow to dump on Bachelor.

R6Limited · 10-11-2006, 12:36 PM

Looking forward to that too. Actually found a log cabin for rent by Sunriver. Could be sweet

Plenty of folks here in CO (Central Oregon). Most of us spend our internet surf time on Sportbikes.ws. If you pop over there, on the Oregon forum you will find: Sage (Sage's Dirt and Street), Dwco32, Zygoat, Wasabi Peas, KoiHoshi, Mstark, kawial and a number of others that are active on SB.WS. Sage has his shop on 3rd street just south of Greenwood (hwy20). We are thinking of doing a gathering in Bend on this Tuesday or Wednesday the 17th or 18th. With different work schedules, its tough to get everyone together at one time. If you have not yet explored the local roads around here, your in for a treat. .........Ken
