First Post - With an apology

[Razkal]

New to posting but not to the board. I would like to apologize for how dirty the Valk is in these photos. Spent a weekend cleaning him then went out and spent 470 miles in the rain.  Weather finally cleared so the wife and I went for a little ride through Central Oregon. Thought you might enjoy a couple of pics.

Looks like a nice ride and a nice view. I haven't seen anyone pounce on a dirty bike. Dirty means you ride it and don't mind the rain.

Nice pics.  It looked like it was a little cool up in Oregon?

You sure have some pretty country to ride in and a very pretty bike as well.  You are sure lucky to have a wife that likes to go with you.  Keep up the posting.  You are a breath of fresh air from your part of the world...JTL

Welocme to the VRCC, a great place to hang out.  No apology needed on the dirty bike....once you learn you way around, you will understand that Daniel Meyer's bike sets the standard for dirty....and yours is no where close...............

I never washed mine until a buddy on the board detailed it. Now I realize how dirty my bike gets. Ofcourse, it's raining, I'm riding, and it is not looking its best anymore.

I have 1.2 miles of dusty dirt road on the way out every morning. The same on the way home.
A dirty bike is like a beautiful woman. Has a story and you cant leave her alone.
Didje have those rainbows?

Dont get much better than that in my book

Welcome and post often with more great pics and ride reports

Thanx for all the kind words and welcoming me to the board.

Hay - A little cool in the morning but the afternoon was in the high 70's low 80's. It was a beautiful weekend for a ride in central Oregon.

Art - We live in Milwaukie. They just paved the pass. Lots of gravel. Scared the P water out of both of us once! Hurt the Wifey's hand smacking me in the back of the head...LOL

Pharm Boy - Thanx. She is a gem and a definite keeper!

Spirited 6 - Rascal was taken a long time ago so my nick name ( that I can use here) is Razkal.

OSS - Been told it is the rarest color.  Been thinking of putting a custom paint job on him but people keep smacking me when they hear I might change the color.

Great Pics!  Keep posting after every ride... I live near the "other Milwaukee".... a little too far east of you to get out to your neck of the woods easily.   

Inquiring minds want to know... does Milwaukie, Oregon have beer??
