Default Hello Fellow Riders! From Florence, Oregon



Florence Oregon is a Coastal community with plenty of twisty back roads for the SV, and incredible sand dunes for the LT-R450. I use the SV as a commuter for the most part...fun to ride / great mileage.
Don't know how receptive you folks are to the U.S. riders, but thought I'd give you guys a chance to either say Hello, or hurl insults....Thanks for looking at my post!


In between Motos during Dunefest 2007. Raced the 40+ B class and finished 1st in both Motos for a first overall...good times

Ahoy!

Wait a minute. Florence, Oregon? Isn't that where the cops tried to move a beached whale off the road?

With dynamite?

Bet you don't mess with those guys!

Welcome. (The insults come later...)

Thanks for the "welcomes"!
The local jurisdiction DID blow up a whale with dynomite. It was too big to bury so they set a charge on it...the news crew was there along with the local Mayor. A huge chunk flew over 200ft and mashed his car Everyone cheered
Here's one of my 450 with the drag paddles...serious traction when you need it...

Welcome stateside geezer! This lot are a friendly bunch, just don't brag about the cost of "gas" .

I have family that live 30 mins from Portland airport, but on the Washington side of the border. I've been lucky enough to go a couple of times.

Have you ever ridden the road up to Mt St Helens? When I was there, I thought it would be a great road to ride.

Welcome Colonial Cousin - I shan't hold it against you that your forefathers didn't have the sense to want to remain 'attached' to England !!!

Love the quad - you guys are so lucky that you don't suffer from the amount of bureaucracy we do over here about where we can use off-road machines.

Hope you enjoy our site
