Random thoughts and observations

Miles click by way faster in the morning than they do late in the afternoon

Most Oregonian drivers obey the speed limit.

West Coast Motorcycle riders seemed compelled to wave at other riders. Adventure bike and sports touring bike riders, just wave. Harley guys, Cruisers and Wanna-bees for some reason have to point to the ground. The way some of them drive, that's probably where they'll end up.

When you start riding in the morning at 60 degrees, when it gets to 80, it feels really hot. When you ride in the afternoon at 110 degrees, when it drops to 90, it feels really cool.

No motorcycle seat is comfortable after 250 miles.

A GPS is a great tool if you have a destination, not so much if you are wandering.

We pass lots of loaded down bicyclists grinding their way up and down the coast highway, I haven't noticed a smile on any of them  

The Oregon Coast is very similar to the Maine Coast, without the sunshine.
