Well I bowed to Peer Pressure yet again... I'm at the Red Lion... Check in on the 9th... Check out Monday Morning ..... Hopefully Walt's Buddy John will be joining me....
This peer pressure thing.. you wouldn't try to get me smoking or drinking or hanging out with the wrong people would you ?
Kevin - I am coming over without our buddy Walt. Who will lead us astray? Is there anyone who can help us out? My exact arrival day remains a mystery, but i think i am going to arrive on Wednesday evening and leaving on Monday. Walt insists I bring his 2012 WB165 for all to try. He says my 165 is too slow. Hummmmm. I think he sets it up that way to handicap me. I probably deserve it, but my skills are so limited, it just puts me farther behind. Handicapping the handicapped? A teachable moment!
We will be camping at 25, heading over on Wednesday. I thought that was the point of this, camping, riding and hanging by a big fire drinking Pendleton. This is the Northwest in November!
I will probably camp, too, but I totally understand those that don't really want to camp in those cold conditions. I'll probably be wishing I had a toasty hotel room and hot tub after my water lines freeze in the Pleasure Palace Camper Van Deluxe My semi-sorta plan is to blast into town to have dinner and socialize with these crazy sots at the brewpub of their choice, maybe crash their hot tub (unless you guys are setting up a portable one in camp, of course) and then hot foot it back to camp. I don't know...I'll just play it by ear, I guess
No reason we can't still do that! For me it cost as much and was more hassle to drag the motorhome over the pass for two days so we decided to get a nice warm hotel room. I'm becoming a bit of a puss in my old age i guess
Brew pubs and hot tubs do sound good, but it is camping this time. Don't want to have to drive back and forth. It will be a great time any way you guys do it.
Reporting live from the Pacific North Wet.... Yesterday I went to heaven, or at least Husqvarna heaven - Bills Motorcycle Plus, and will be going back to Bills today. I will be leaving Salem tomorrow (Wednesday) morning and going out to Camp 25... then checking into a hotel for 4 nights, checking out Sunday morning. I booked the hotel in Bend on Sunday, but it appears that hotel will be inundated with interesting characters (Red Lion Inn ) I am not sure what Bills (and more importantly Bryons with the demo bikes) schedule is, will try to find out today.
