I met up at Mike & Heather Mcbride's place at 6AM and, with a slight change of taking my truck instead of theirs, we hooked up their trailer (with bikes) and set sail south to Redding's Chappie/Shasta OHV Area. Unfortunately my Wife, Donna, was unable to go due to the flu. Three hours later we ...

12/8/17: Riding China Hat After meeting up with Scott and Kerry at Scott's Sister's house (in Sisters) and having a great dinneer, we awoke to extremely cold temps in Sisters - in the teens in fact. https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/12317-OMRA-Calendar-Meeting-Lyda-C...

12/3/17: Riding In Tillamook State Forest I spent most of the day at the annual OMRA Calendar Meeting in Albany. From there we headed to Hillsboro to stay with Donna's Sister. https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/12317-OMRA-Calendar-Meeting-Lyda-Creek-Ride-Seattle-Visit...

Neal and his son, Kai, picked me up and we headed north to our familiar spot. In tow was Jim & Hailey Dickerson and Joseph & Asher Tompkins. The weather was great once we got out of the fog. We spent a bit of time at a track, then went trail riding. All the kids did much better than expecte...

We're getting our ducks in a row and plan on once again going big for 2018 - see you there and be sure to mark your calendars for June 9-10! -Tom https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/6317-Black-Dog-National-Dualsport/i-5N6T9C2/0/bcc50a8b/L/965256_398669166913449_6244247...

That was a fun watch!

Day Three, 185 Miles: 798 Total Miles We were up early leaving Weaverville after missing dinner the evening prior due to too many people at the golf-course restaurant. We settled into a local pub for pizza instead. We headed north by Trinity Lake en route to dodging a plethora of Bambis, after topp...

Day Two, 284 Miles After a stay in Tiny's questionable namesake (Knight's Inn) in Susanville, we headed off south, then turned up Janesville Grade (across from Honey Lake) and went up, up, up! We needed to do a quick stop to stretch out Tiny's back at one point. This road eventually wound us to Ant...

Day One, 329 Miles I met up with Tiny, and brothers Willy and Jerry at the McDonalds in Phoenix. A quick bite and we were off to Ashland and over the Greensprings Highway. I was on my trusty steed (BMW GS1200 Adventure), Tiny was on his Yamaha FJR, Willy on his Honda V-Twin 750 and Jerry on his BMW...

Day three of Kerry's visit and it was too nice out NOT to ride, so off we went, this time straight from the house. We headed directly up to Flounce Rock to check in on how much damage there was after the recent fire. Fortunately only the west, south and east sides of the summit were marred - everyt...

Kerry and I took off to help work on the upcoming poker run courses. While up there we met up with Neal and Matt and the four of us had a grand time! (Though we never did hook up with Steve, Bill and Richard till the end of the day) -Tom 235222334 https://vimeo.com/235222334 <---- Click here if you...

Kerry K came down from Portland to ride for three days and I'm just the kind of guy to oblige. As you can see, it was COLD, in fact 39 degrees at Fish Lake! But we went on new routes, over logs and by the end of the day we'd logged in over 100 miles of grins. We even got to see a hawk with some fre...

On short notice, I headed out on an exploration ride with Tiny & Willy in Butte Falls. We ended up herding plenty of cows for the day!
