Not much comes to mind OM. Most of it is illegal, inmoral, or requires half your shit (or more) when things go wrong........

No pics, but if I remember correctly, it did happen. All I can say after owning each generation, gen III ROCKS
Happy for you bro. I wanted to meet ya down around Medford, but with the wife in Seattle with grandbabies, I had to keep a close eye on the teenagers.
Even if no pictures, a little ride report would be fun to read. All the best luck wished on your new moto.
Just another old fart.

It's too deep, this is a bike not a canoe.

About ten minutes after you left.. The authority's should be in contact soon enough.

Getting close to 1k, not to bad for a (work) week of ownership. Didn't know that it burned down! Hadn't been out 36 this year (bikeless since March) but headed out that way tomorrow. Will have to check that out....

I stopped by last Saturday to show a friend a motorcycle friendly store and it was toast, only foundation is left. Even the bike on the sign along 36 is gone.

The really wild part was while we were checking it out a guy and his wife drove up. He was there to show her the store he built! Yep, he was the guy who built the store and lived in the area then, he said lots of logging going on back in the day.

I must have been thinking about a different store, didn't find the one you were talking about, but I did find a great 1 lane bridge

The one on Hwy 36 and Wildwood rd. They were dirt bike friendly and had a good looking girl the last year when I stopped by.

You would have seen it when you turned off 36 but it's gone :o
