Taking HWY 20 from Ontario thru Bend to I-5 then up to Molalla.
Might take HWY 22 off HWY 20 up to Salem, about 460 miles.
I am slow and cautious, EXTRA slow and cautious on unfamiliar roads. I have never been this route. Any of you Oregon folks know of a reason why a Geezer couldn't cover this route in 8 or 9 hours?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Soren, 10 hours it is. Leaving Star, ID Wed. moining. Have a few "Mikey do's" for a friend in Molalla. Then thought I might check out a couple bike shops. I see there is one in Beaverton, Portland & Eugene, maybe they will have accessories in stock so I can look at them. Have to order everything here.
I'll have to figure out how you do that with that map thing,
thats cool.
Thanks,
Mike

Liz at Cascade Moto Classics keeps a good stock of accessories. If they don't have it in stock, she can order it and even ship them to you. It's a great shop, it's like my second family.

If you are there on Saturday, ask for me, more than likely I'll be there.

Carracer..in Nampa..heck fire..I thought I had the only Triumph in Idaho. Well, maybe I hoped I did. I have never seen another Triumph on the road. Good grief, lets get together sometime. (but remember I'm a geezer)

Gmike... I might be a Geezer too! I am a really conservative rider also. I think there are a few more Trump riders in the area but not too many. Yes, let's get together sometime!
