In the Pacific NW, what is the best area to live in for access to drag strips, motocross tracks, and great off-roading areas (that are OK with the police) for anything from 4wd's to 3 wheelers to bikes????

At this point, I'm thinking I'll likely wind up either somewhere near Portland, or up near the Puget Sound. Near a big metro area for work, and the other perks that come with a city. But out as far from the center as I can manage for rural benefits too.

Again, real neat clip.

Portland is going to be close to a lot of ride sites, including Washougal. There is a lot of riding in Tillamook Forest, some over by mount hood, plus further away there are other places. Lots of places to go riding legally here, check out my videos I have some trails on video.

Just watched again. Man, I can't wait to get up to the beautiful Pacific NW. Sick of living in the desert. That Maico looks like it needs a little competition! Pretty sure if I can build a bike and get up there, I'd likely do well. Last time I raced in like 89 or 90 I got the holeshot, and only came in 3rd due to fatigue. Didn't ride much anymore at that point. Only brought the bike due to peer pressure. Remember sponsers asking who I rode for. My head was on girls & muscle cars at the time.

Cool clip, real glad I spotted it. I'm actually planning to move up to the NW, and I'm also inching towards getting back into riding motocross. After years of having been out of riding. I also had been thinking of not getting a newer bike, but rather build one for VMX. This makes me want to actually race, and not just ride. Either building a 79' or 80' CR, but with a 480 engine. Or, I might build a 79' or 80' RM, but with a 500 engine swapped in.

Now thats a track! Look at all that great stickey dirt ! My RM would haul around that track! Nice Bikes

Ya, was pretty cool. You should get your YZ together and take it down! Most of what I got was the Amatures and some Intermediate. I don't think I got any of the expert class. That guy on the #21 Maico won Open Amature.

Great video! Looks like your daughter had as much fun as you! Beautiful track, thanks for the video for us east coast guys who can't get out there.

She wanted me to get her a little bike immediately.

Do it, man! I started riding when I was eight, and I regret not starting a lot sooner. What are you even doing wasting your time reading this, you should be looking for a 50cc Suzuki or something!

i loved this vid. the sound and the look of the late 70's and early 80's bikes is something you dont get to experience anymore.

Wait, it was this weekend?!

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!! I can't believe I missed it!

[tobyeo]

Yup, someone posted a video of Saturday I will send, it was much better on Sunday you'll see.
