Welcome to our blog. Thanks for checking us out.
Due to the weather and I-5 closing Dan wasn't able to get down here a few days ago... He is coming today from Seattle. So It looks like we're leaving on Monday instead of tomorrow. The bikes are ready. And all we have to do is pack all our stuff on the bikes.
That seems easy enough, but those that have traveled by motorbike know that the load has to be balanced and packed evenly with the heavy stuff as low as possible. So its a juggle of putting things here and there and then here and there. Also deciding who's carrying what. We will be working on our "Pack Jenga" tomorrow. Really the PackJenga never gets perfect, You work on it everytime you load the bike during the trip....Ever searching for that perfect packjenga!!
Thanks to the Oregonian and John Foyston for that cool Article!
Tonight we party!
Great time at the party, John! Nice meeting you, Dan! Look forward to reading more about your exploits!

Have a great and safe trip.Be aware that I-5 in El Norte-Portland is full of potholes,maybe as bad as a small Mexican town.I'll be following your trip south.Stay up and write often.
Hello John and Dan, I read your article and am now looking forward for your updates on your trip. Have been a long time motorcycle rider but never taken any long trips, but dream of such trips. Have a safe journey and update often. Dan E.
Well, I am like so many others who are totally jealous! I don't see ever doing a long adventure tour, but I love the idea. I have a touring BMW, so no gravel for me. I can't wait until I have the time to take a cross-country ride. Until then, I will have to be satisfied with shorter rides and enjoying blogs such as yours.
Have a GREAT time and stay safe, and remember that there really are people hoping to hear where you are and how it's going!
Honk if you are on I205 and passing Clackamas Monday!
