Looks to be a Hot and Smokey ride from here to Boise. A lot of the scenery will be in the smoke. At least the morning will be cool.
Looking forward to getting out on the road, then meeting up with you guy's.

Everythings a go on my end Motorhead I'm hoping to leave Missoula by 8 a.m.
Unfortunately I didn't get Monday off so I won't be able to take the long way home

Good to hear the plan is still on.
Oh well about Monday I guess. I'll still be riding the long route back.
We'll ride together as far as you want.

Still a "go" here, if your travel plan still includes returning near John Day area, and it's not too late in the day to allow my accompanying you to, and return from, about Prineville back home decently early in the afternoon - I'm not too comfortable in riding in the deer-infested mountains in the dark - we lose a couple of bikers each year from deadly deer encounters...

Yes, that would be good to ride for a while with you Gary.
I'm all loaded up, got on the high-way gears, 16x35. The big motor loves it.

If you have any idea as to time you might hit JD area, you might mention it, and some sort of heads-up as you get in closer would help as well - we have an answering machine, in case we're away from the phone.

Will do. Once I talk to the guys, and see what sort of time frame happens on Sunday. Then I'll know about Monday, and a time for coming through JD. It won't be late that I can tell you. I'll shoot for no later than 3 pm. Hopefully earlier.

I'll be at the cafe by 8:30. I'll be leaving here around 7:45. Trying to find a riding partner but it isn't easy. I'm trying to convince my neighbor to make the ride on his 78 yamaha xs 750.

Ride safe and love the ride!

Motor Head, are you heading north from Horseshoe bend towards McCall?

Thats the plan, up to Lewiston, then back down to Enterprise, Or. I've got close to 1300 miles mapped. Should be a piece of cake over 3 days.

That's the way to knock it out! I love it when the action happens and the talk stops. This board has gotten a much needed boost from all of you guys who have gone through and put forth!

See you this afternoon at the camp Kaw-a-holic, and Mike tomorrow.
Have fun and ride safe.

You are on the road by now, and may not get this, but hopefully you will be thru here earlier than 3 pm Monday - it's about a 5 hour round trip from here to Bend area, so 3 pm will return me here about 8 pm - about dark. I had hoped and planned to ride as far as Prineville, where I would need gas anyway - but if things get too late in the afternoon, might have to start the return earlier than that. Have a great and safe trip - will see you sometime Monday!

I got new tires mounted and will be ready to meet whoever/wherever next Saturday. :woohoo:

I have a smart phone and can log on from camp, signal permitting. I will let him know.
