By the terrain it was hard to believe we were still in Oregon

I went 155 mph a couple of times I felt like i was in Mad MAX

a local said the cops don't go out that far unless there is a problem they hate to run out of gas!

one thing that mad me sick was a GSX-R750 at a Lewiston park; in the middle of corner "Meca" the rear tire was worn way down........ but only down the middle what a squid!

some great pics of the ride. St. helens, john day are all good rides as well. Courdelane Idaho to Montana are well worth the trip. Although lewiston/clarkston had the better corners.
