Hi, I'm needing some local knowledge to complete some trip planning for the first week in July. We would be starting from around Crescent Lake, taking a side trip to Crater then down the 138 with the intent to divert on Steamboat Creek (?) over to Oakridge. The Forest Service maps indicate...

Hey Don, I'm glad you liked it, and and flattered you chose to put it on your desktop. Thanks for letting me know, Gil www.gilleschampagnephotography.com

If your intent is to get to Conconully the first day, then skip what I said! I find 530 to be a nice ride, through farm country, and if you catch a clear day, the views in Darrington of the glacier are great. From Darrington to Rockport is flat, along the river, with great pavement, nice long...

We LOOOOOVVVVEEEEE fire roads. Prefer unpaved fire roads. We swear by the Benchmarks. We create a general route, then check and double check against the Benchmarks, Google Earth and local sources for intel. FYI we will have the bikes trucked from NJ to Seattle to a bike shop or maybe...

Just a short ride out yesterday, trying to capture some last rides before the snow closes off all the Cascade foothills. Ran out the Mountain Loop Highway to mile 29 where there was snow and ice on the verge, so I didn't want to discover the black ice I knew was lurking around the corner...

Decided to start riding again, bought a '95 Triumph Trophy 1200 with only 2800 miles on it, rode for a week, fork seals popped, stopped at the dealer to get a quote on repair, saw an 02 BMW K1200 RS, and traded in the Trophy. Rode the heck out of the BMW all summer, loved the bike, but the...

Hello all, Gil, just bought a blue S10 last week, and thanks to the unlucky soul who passed on this one! #577. It's been a "bike year" for me, this is my 4th, and last, I bought this year. I've been trying to find "the" ride and she's looking great! I'm one of those that commutes to work on...

Went to AltRider in Seattle today and had them installed. Had to remove the triple tree to fit cables behind it. Had to zip tie the throttle cables to hold them away from the brake fluid box. Went straight to work, then home and won't have the chance to take a long ride till Tuesday. First...

Stopped by AltRiders and put on the ROX risers. Had to take off the triple tree to install so that the lines didn't chafe. Will be checking out the difference over the next few weeks. Wanted a more natural riding position as the stock bars setting had me sitting with my arms fully extended in...
