Marion, Yamhill, Polk & Linn Counties - May 23, 2009

Group meeting up in Salem, Oregon

This trip took us to through four Oregon counties: Marion, Polk, Yamhill and Linn.

On this trip were nine motorcycles and three passengers. Ricardo and his wife Tracy riding there Suzuki Intruder, Tollie riding her Kawasaki Vulcan, Greg riding his Kawasaki Vulcan, Jim riding his Harley Fat Boy, Larry riding his Yamaha Royal Star Venture, Russ and his daughter Shelbi riding his Honda Magna, Patrick and his wife Heather on their Honda Shadow ACE, Shannon riding his BMW ST and me riding my Honda Shadow Sabre.

Some of us had taken the route to Salmon Falls the weekend before but it is such a pretty ride we couldn't reset taking it two weekends in a row.

We wandered along the back roads enjoying the scenic views along the way.
