Hey, just making a more likely than not failed attempt at getting some riders together. I am currently in the Eugene area and head up to the portland area from time to time. Anyone from around here???

Been trying to get a pack going but its not working all that well. More so due to the winter.

(please die winter) However, I figured a failed attempted is still an attempt. Let me know if anyone is in the area or will be and we can set something up!

I'm in the area but don't have my endorsement yet...sorry!

Angel · 02-16-2008, 12:57 PM

Hey neither do I!! Lol I ride with my guy. I just picked up a manual a few weeks ago. Perhaps we could take a class together?? haha just so long as you dont tell any of the guys/gals here if I really suck at it lol Hit me up if you ever want to get to gether and just shoot the shiz. Im new here and dont know a soul out here. Sucks....

rangerman · 02-16-2008, 2:47 PM

lol. My bro rides too so hopefully I will be getting my endorsement at the beginning of march...if I have enough money...since they raised the price from $100 to $155! I wouldn't tell anybody you suck...lol. I've been here all my life...I just don't know anybody from the Eugene area. That does suck though

Welcome to Eugene Sportbike

Ride tomorrow

rangerman · 02-16-2008, 9:38 PM

Wow...that is pretty cool. Do you guys have meets? One of the pics looks like it is off of highway 20...I could be wrong though.

Huge Oregon section at sportbikes.ws
Pacific ( OREGON ) - The Sportbikes Website

I met up with a bunch of them a few years back for a BBQ and they were all friendly.

Angel · 02-17-2008, 9:42 AM

Holy cow thanks that will come in handy a lot!! Thanks for the Refs.

I have been cursing blasphemies at the winter weather for about 3 months. I am in Corvallis but didnt see this til today. I actually rode to Salem and back to their cycle gear. Let me know when you want to arrange a ride and I might show up seeing as my weekends are free.

rangerman · 02-18-2008, 2:06 AM

Nice. How was cycle gear? I live like 15 minutes away and have never been there...lol

Angel · 02-18-2008, 9:13 AM

was going to stop at the springfield cycle gear last night. Being sunday and all we just missed their closing time. I have only been in there once and it wasnt too bad!

rangerman · 02-18-2008, 11:54 AM

I went there awhile back actually. I went with my brother to springfeild for a wrestling tournament and we both screwed around all day. I like the motorcycle parking spots...lol

Angel · 02-18-2008, 12:01 PM

yeah I thought that was a pretty neat thing outside a gear shop. lol Bike parking closer than the handicap!

speedracer42 · 02-18-2008, 12:05 PM

We just had a HUGE ride yesterday that started on the .ws board and spread to many others. There were over 60 bikes present. Good times

everyone sucks at first. I think I finished #2 in my class and only by a point or 2, still doesn't mean I was very good when I first started riding. just be patient and careful and the skills will come with practice and more miles.

$155, thats not bad. the class here was $275 5 years ago.

Holy Shnikes! lol I guess it really doesnt matter just so long as it teaches you the basics of keeping your wheeles down though right? I have every intentions of taking the class, my biggest tug right now is do I want to go for the 250 or 500... I have had dirt bike experience and riding quads before, so I have the basics on shifting down. People say if I have that down 250 will be WAY too boring.

willcbr600rr · 02-18-2008, 9:13 PM

They use mostly 250 cruisers for the team oregon class at LCC. Depends on your size. I was on a dual sport for mine. Great class. Well worth the money spent. The classes fill up fast so if you get scheduled out aways you may show up before a class 30-60 min you may get in if someone doesnt show.

bladezilla · 02-22-2008, 12:06 AM

I bet there are some really nice rides near Eugene. Its a bit far for a day trip from Portland for me though. Please go through all the riders training classes you can. They have beginner, intermediate and advanced. Its well worth the $ when your life is at stake. Its a whole different ballgame than dirt bikes.

Ridders015 · 05-29-2008, 4:34 AM

Looks like a few of you are local but this post is pretty old. lookin for more ppl to ride with in salem/albany/eugene area . let me know. my guys ride every decent day so were down whenever..
