Come join the fun riding in one of the primo dual sport areas of the USA.

Did you ever get your leg back from the shop?

Leg got lucky.
I got a lucky warning to slow down a little bit.
It all missed all the important stuff in my leg/knee and just cut a bunch of meat and nerves.

Just some numbness and wierd feelings still exist 2+ years later. No limping. Nothing a little proper "medicine" can't help a bit with
Thanks for asking !!
When will we see YOU and your FAMILY at the Apple Valley Rally?

Fellow Riders, I'm looking to improve my riding skills this year - so I was looking for recommended NW events or hands-on classes that focus on moto skill building. It doesn't have to specifically be loose-surface skill building, but if it was that would be cool.

AJ - at AVR this fall you mentioned a class that really helped elevate your skills. What class was that?

Ride better, ride faster, ride safer and have more fun - all at the same time. That's my goal.

Added Salem Speedway's Flat Track Racing this weekend. There is practice Friday for any wanna-racer types. I believe they have an open class. I enjoyed watching a couple of Triumph Bonneville's duke it out last year. They weren't the fastest, but they were first place with smiles.

Antique Motorcycles, cars, tractors, trucks, trains, everything old and gearhead related.

Antique Powerland Steam Up. Brooks, OR (north of Salem) July 25-26 and Aug 1-2

Not really a Motorcycle Event, but I'm going to add it to the Calendar anyways because it's frikin awesome...and you can ride a Motorcycle to it and get preferential parking...so that's a good enough reason right?

Edit: Actually they do have a Car and Motorcycle Museum that are both open during the Steam Up.

Hi Scott,

Looks like September is empty so far. Maybe add this one: http://www.bignastyhillclimb.com/

Jimmy Lewis operates his own gig down in Pahrump Nevada.
KTM hired him to be part of the big KTM Adventure Rally, and he gave free (included in Rally entry price) one hour classes in a big gravel lot.

In one hour, he made me ride better, faster, safer, and have more fun riding.
I wanna go South really bad for a 2-3 day class with him, someday....

After that 1-hour class, I cannot imagine a better teacher

Fug yeah!

Post it up Scott, & lock it in.

Good recommendation Jeff. I'd like to catch him up this way sometime for a class.

Thanks AJ.

Jimmy did a couple in Idaho last year. Pocatello area and Sun Valley IIRC. I'll keep eyes open for a 2015 return.

anyone got info on the Portland alley sweeper??

Maybe you should throw out an invite to Jimmy and Heather for AVR15..? I'd be willing to contribute to a riding clinic and I'd hope most of the rest of the cheap FF's would too!

The IDBDR premier is Feb 4 in Boise.

Hmmm. I wonder???

but I quickly thought, "oh Hell, the cost of that would be waaaay beyond our financial means."
Wouldn't it be awesome though??
