Dang I just knew that paper clip hanging out was for cruise control?


Have fun let us know be safe bro.:cool2:

[Mtnseeker1]

You do know I own a big as sewing machine right?:lol8: Can make special gloves for such a ride.:2thumbs:
:bootyshake: Complete with paper clip warmers.:)

[Mtnseeker1]

May your pillow be thick and your eyeball thicker.
Get back in one piece we have some high country rides to do.:2thumbs:

[accadacca]

We left at 2:30 pm today and rode up to Ontario, OR. Here is my glove setup. I bought some black duct tape too and used it to cover the slits I cut in the gloves. Works like a dream! The vibration (when riding) on the pins is a bit painful at times... :roll:

[Mtnseeker1]

Go baby go:stud:

[accadacca]

We are headed for the Cascades later today after some business. There is a bridge out on the I-5 and the delay was more then what we want to deal with again. :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

If you had a Go Pro you could set it up to take picts every now and then hands/and paper clip free:lol8:
Is your dad with you on this one?

[accadacca]

We are staying in a really cool old little cowboy town called Winthrop, WA. I gotta get some photos of all the old building here, some from the early 1900's. The Cascades were INCREDIBLE. :hail2thechief::hail2thechief:

Awesome bro. I'm not real big on the tar matt stuff but I am re-thinking it now.:hail2thechief:

[nelsonccc]

All pavement? This is the kind of thing I want to do with the Vstrom when I get it.

All pavement? This is the kind of thing I want to do with the Vstrom when I get it.
Yep. You need to come ride with us bro. Epic rides... :cool2:

[accadacca]

After the Cascades we stayed in Winthrop, WA on Saturday night. It is an awesome place and I need to spend more time there. Lotta old buildings from the early 1900's still standing and a rich history in mining. We blitzed it across Washington and over to Missoula, MT on Sunday to ride an epic stretch through Salmon and Challis Idaho. :hail2thechief:
