Day 4 - July 11th
Today we double up in riders
Joining us will be Slug Rockets:
Dave - Stock P200
Rob - Stock P200
Cody - BAjaj Chetek 150
Matt - GTS 250
on the way up to the meeting place, Brad's bike messes up again. Seams this time his points burn out. With all of us riding mostly P200s, we do not have this part, and its back on the wagon for Brad. Pete was having some issues with his carb and messed with it to get it going. We all start riding 101 north the Oregon. Today will be aboy 360 miles, our longest day.
All the bikes seam to well. Slug Rocket Cody's Bajaj was having minor issues but all seammed to go OK. The rest of us all know Vespas, so we were all limited in helping.
Lots of long roads, twistys and curves. We end up in Port Orford, OR for lunch. The only bar in town was a dive called Pitches Tavern. Some of us are from Portland, OR and know our share of dives. The lady was kinda rude because customers showed up I guess. When we asked where she would like us to order food, she said she rather have us order food next door but still took our order.
Just before dusk we reach our destination in Lincoln City, OR. We are tired, want a beer, and a hotel room. JJ goes around and finds a sweet motel with a beach front view and enough room for everybody to crash. Relaxation feels good for a while. The hotel told us that there is a chinese joint right around the corner, so an hour later we all end up over there for much needed refreshments and some pretty good chinese food.
We head back to the hotel and there is a beach fire already lit for us by the management! Talk about service. More BS'ing around and just talking about the ride we just did with friends on the beach was awesome. It really didn't get any better.
