This weekend, two friend and I decided to take a trip on our new Motorcycles (we've all had them about a month now) to the coast before the weather got too bad. We were leary at first to go, because the weather forcast was rain for the latter afternoon, but we decided to meet at church and make the decision afterwards. After church was out, the sun was shining brightly and very few clouds were in the sky, so we were psyched to hit the road. We were limited on our time because we had to be back for evening services at 6:00pm, so we planned our route accordingly (we made it back at 5:45).
The Route:
The road was clear and traffic was extremely light. Getting to I5 from the corner of Liberty and Kuebler in Salem was the worst traffic we encountered. Once we hit I5 it was smooth sailing all the way. We made a short pit stop at the 34 offramp for a quick fill up. We then continued without stopping all the way to Newport, cuttong off on Hwy 20. The road was smooth and nice. Not a lot of curves till we got closer to Newport. Unfortunately, we were behind a couple of RV's when we actually hit some decent bends in the road! When we got to Newport, we headed directly to the Chowder Bowl at Nye Beach and ate some delicious Fish & Chips! :-)
After Lunch we stopped and parked to take a few pics of our bikes with the ocean behind us... My bike is the one on the left.
Question: Why do slow vehicles always speed up to 70mph when there is a passing lane, and then back to 30mph afterwards?????
Definitely made my Sunday a fun-filled day!
