Aride around Washington and Oregon

Got up early friday morning and decided it was going to be to nice of day to hang around the house, so i loaded up the BMW and headed out for a 310 mile loop.

Started to ride down a rode called Ferry landing RD that will take you to John Day River, when i got to the bottom it was a dead end. there was a place to cross the river, but the river was way to high. So headed back up the canyon and over to Hwy 207 to get across.

Heres the bridge that got me across the river, nice break area.

This canyon seemed to go on for ever.

More deer

I rode another 15 to 20 mile when i stopped at a another historical land mark.........some old wagon ruts on the side of a hill........ when i noticed oil all over my swing arm.
The shock on the Beemer was toast....thank god for warrenties. So i rode home on the route i had made but didnt take any more pictures.

cool... many miles there.

Looks like a great ride, bummer about the shock.

How long to get the part?

I took it Westside in Spokane and Thay said 2 to 3 weeks.
