Are there any riders in the North Central Or. area, Hermiston,Pendleton,Tri-cities area out there? Looking for someone interested in day rides, or local area rally runs. A few others in the area may join in. I ride a 99 King. We ride to enjoy the ride, not to get there fast. Meeting new people is always great. Hope to hear from a few.

 

I will be in Baker City in June for the Hells Canyon Rally

 

what are the dates of the rally this year? There's beautiful country there for riding. If you have never ridin to joseph Or be sure to do that while your there. Its as pretty as the Tetons in Wy.

 

June 8-11... I am not sure but that Town looks like it could either be done on the way down or while we are there... Thanks.

 

From Lagrande It's 70 miles north on Hwy82. There's Wallowa Lake its 6mi long 1mi wide and 300 ft deep a natural lake the water is so clean you can see 30 ft deep. The little town of Josephis a western town turned into microbrews and esspressos sitting in a valley nestled at 4000 ft elevation between mtns that take you from the valley floor straight to 10,000 ft. There also is a 4 person gondola that lifts you to the top of the mountains. If you never been there, its a must stop. I see your in the army. My son just got back from Ft Bragg after 5 yrs he got out. We have great men in our service today. my other son is still in the AF.

 

Thanks for the info... I was actually in the Marines from 1980-1992 and went to the Desert back then. That phot was recently taken while on the Iraq/Syrian Border. I work for DHS and Customs and the military wanted border Officers from the state to work the Borders in Iraq with their Units. I was there in 2005...hence the 2005 Springer Softail... Military Vehicle Sales.

 

My boy was looking at military sales when he was in Iraq. He said Harley had a rep. there until the fighting started and he left right quick. So he bought a Ultra ground pounder when he got back. Then he went back to Afghan later. My youngest boy is training to be an ewo on a B-52, he's been in about 3 years and still owes uncle sam another 5 since he has his wings. If you happen to go to the rally and if you would like to meet along the way (if I go) holler at me at imschoney@yahoo.com. I ride a 99 Road King old police bike that I changed quitea bit.

 

Well we were fighting while I was there... I am sure Harley did not have any reps there when I was there either, but Military Vehicle Sales had reps at all the Major Bases in Iraq as well as other countries... I was not anywhere near a base, so I purchased mine via the internet and email. Great opportunity, I got my 2006 at MSRP and they through in Security, anda 5yr Warranty for no extra charge. The money I saved I put in Chrome approx $2300.00. The Dealer in the states where I picked it up said you just bought a $25000.00 bike for $19,000.00 (+ the $3k inlocal taxes). I had my wife pricing the same bike for me prior to my selection.

 

Looks like you have a nice ride. It's supposed to be 70 here this weekend so I'll probably be out ridn a bit. hope to see you around someday. be safe.
