I had lunch at the Rogue Pub in North Plains. The food wasn’t stellar but it was a nice respite from the heat of the day.
This is such a cute little town!
After my stop in North Plains and a brief stopover at my parents house, I rode back to Corvallis to finish my RAMROD weekend. i ended up riding around 1000 miles across three days. It was great fun!
Yesterday evening Ashley and I rode out to Newport for dinner. Here you can see a meeting of the metric motorcycles.
After having dinner at Rogue Public House, we stopped for a photo near the old Newport lighthouse. The weather on the coast was ideal for riding but inland it was rather hot.
For a Ninja 250, that little bike can really haul.
The sun was about to be extinguished in the Pacific Ocean as we left Newport.
One of the NOAA research vessels was leaving the protection of the harbor and jetty. It is visible just behind the couple by the railing. Having NOAA relocate fleet operations to Newport has been a huge boost to the local economy and is a real source of pride for the town.

One last view before we headed back to Corvallis.
