The Oregon Coast






Some awesome scenery the last couple of days along the Oregon coast. Great weather today, sunny from early in the morning until the late afternoon. 950 miles into the trip.


Today started out great, unfortunately, after about 60 miles a Westbound car decided to turn into me while I was going Eastbound on the shoulder of the highway about 30 miles West of Salem Oregon. I hit the car broadside on the passenger side and went flying over the car from the impact. As you can see the bike didn't fair too well and I am afraid the frame is a total loss. Got a ride into Salem and hoping to find a new bike tomorrow. Fortunately for me, I am all in one piece, a little sore, nothing broken other than the bike.

That is not snow in the above picture, it is sand as in sand dunes!

Glad to hear you're still in one piece! Sorry to hear about the bike, though. Once you get your new ride, you'll have to let us know how it compares (weight, riding ease, etc.)

I hope the guy who hit you made a generous donation to PAFE! Glad to hear you came through little the worse for wear but know you will miss that bike.
