|  Well shucks, no love for my ride report Normally I wouldn't post whore but darn it it was a bunch of work to write this thing up and post it (I think the forum needs a special ride-report mode, 6 pics per post!?) I posted a ride report, rife with pictures from my trip to Oregon week before last way down in the pictures section, where it gets no love at all, so here's a cross link. http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...rn-oregon.html Someone please validate my existence!

|  I admit never looking in the photos forum. I already know what they look like.  Thanks for the heads-up. Great writeup! It reminds my so much of my trip from last year that I seriously bummed. I can't wait to go again.

 | Never saw the original thread. NICE pics. Looks like a real blast. Someday I'd like to go back to California to visit my brothers and set aside a week or two to make that ride.

| I just noticed one of the pics I posted from that trip in the Photos section....There's a couch thrown down there on the rocks by the river!  I didn't even notice it when I was there taking the pictures!

Amazon.com: Casio Exilim EX-S500 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti Shake Optical Zoom (Grey): Camera & Photo It's funny because I've taken pics of the same thing that my buddy has taken pictures of with his huge camera with all the fancy options and gigantic lens on there and mine look every bit as good as his. The size is the real advantage though. They have a 7.2 megapixel version out now, I highly recommend them. We actually own two of the EX-S500!
