Very scenic mixed evergreen and deciduous forest, with a stretch that goes past one (or two?) of Oregon's reservoirs. Great dam views, too.

Sigh... It's going to be a loooooong summer....

Just put a similar one in my wife's Honda Rebel.

Red arrow. Had my sliders off to install new fork seals at the time.

Is it because of the national rally season, with both MOA and RA rallies being close, so everything has been pulled from the store for the major events?

I have my eye on a lower windshield, and a "Brown's" side-stand as minor changes, and probably remove the hand guards.
