shriners run , for charity ...

[thescooterguy]

hi everyone ! i just wanted to share my journey with everyone , i am riding the tw bents tadpole to Boise Idaho from Portland to raise money for shriners children's hospital ,the first leg of my journey was to travel from Gladstone to ocean park Washington to see Augie the golden eagle rep for a spare belt and a system check up , i left Gladstone at about 2pm and made it to seaside by 7pm , spent the night in seaside , then off to ocean park Washington to see Augie , here are some pics of the tadpole at a few road signs and a map outlining the way i went , i will try to update this as i go , on my shriners page at www.thescooterguy.org

Wow awesome!! Nice ride. All by your lonesome?

 

[thescooterguy]

yep all by myself , but i am having a blast , not lonesome at all , i'm at augies house right now in ocean park washington , he hooked me up with an extra belt and a little bit bigger drive sprocket , we went on a ride last night , there were 4 of us on the road for a short ride ,

Cool - I just meant I hoped there would be others for the charity ride. OP is a hoot that's for sure and good luck on the ride!!

if anyone does want to hook up for all or part of the ride the best time to do that will be on Thursday the 13th at latus motors in Gladstone Oregon , the Harley Davidson shop . I'm leaving in the am not sure exactly what time yet , but that would be a great place to hook up i plan on making it to bend Oregon in one day . if there are any motored bikers in bend that would like company for the night let me know , if things go as planned i should be rolling into bend in the early evening on the 13th , then to Vail on the 14th to see that town , and a shoe tree .

what a great day!

We had such a blast today! Wen't by Augi's today and ran into Jerry (scooterguy) we putted to the store a few times and had a wonderful day.. here are a couple of cool pics, and it goes to show you that Augi is all about "safety first"! We all wondered how Jerry made it here from Gladstone Oregon without a mirror...? so Augi hooked him up with a mirror that uncle punk 13 had given him once for obviously just such an occasion? The tourists seemed a little unruly today, which prompted the mirror addition since this one impatient driver couldn't wait 5 seconds before her turn that she was awful close to scooterguy and then she preceded to wait for Augi to pass and flipped him off! Just goes to show you foolios with no respect..
We had a great BBQ as always...and Kevin and Augi are wonderful hosts as always... see pic of awesome fire lol...nice to meet you bro and I am sure we will run into each other again sometime..Kudos and good luck on all your endeavors!!!:helmet:

[augidog]

you, my friend, are one hardcore rider!!

what a blast getting to know you, and learning more about your charitable efforts...right now you're heading south off the peninsula...we all wish you well, and hope to hear later that you've arrived home right-side-up

quay, i was reading your post and reliving the tailgating cager story...i just thought of something...i wonder, when we hand-signal a right turn do peeps think we're flipping them off? too funny.

i made it back to Gladstone just fine made the full trip in 7 hours , i had a great ride home , stopped a few times one for lunch another time for gas and a nice lady named Deana payed to fill my tank . .75cents , very nice lady , i gave her a motoredbike.com sticker . Augie gave me a stack to hand out . here are a few pics and a short vid , o ya and a biker and his babe past me on the highway with a very nice chrome trailer from Texas , she was videoing me as they passed me , would be funny if i maneged to get ahold of that one somehow... they gave me the thumbs up and sped off
