September 20 Lake Oswego. 10 days of connecting, switching gear, packing
Has been a week 9 days since I last posted. Have been at home for this time and it has been busy catching up with friends, getting my bike ready for the next part of my journey.
Time moves fast when you have so many things that need to get done in a short amount of time.
Also wanted to connect with friends as well
Went to the Local ADV weekly get together. Was great see to my other moto friends!! It was a rainy evening in a typical meeting place.
Lots of dual sport bikes…..
And the Characters of ADV locally (all these photos courtesy of Mortimersickle)
I just arrived and had the attention of the guys!
Fisherman checking out the 800 as I have it loaded!
pointing out little details of the bike prep.
Then a bit of ride sharing on Dagwoods 400 RD. Earwig gets the first spin.
Road Rash took his turn
Del (Beerslayer) and Esmerelda show up.
;wave NoPo and Motomuffin show up. What a treat!!
Thanks for the photos Mortimersickle and Fisherman right next to him!
Nice view of Downtown Portland on my ride home.

It has been a busy time getting things done and seeing friends. All good, just busy!
