Driving to Smith Rock

Driving my bike from Portland to Smith Rock to Los Angeles. Incredibly fun....but not much room for luggage.

impressive!

That's hilarious! While CBRs aren't the torture racks that Ducatis or Gixxers are, that is some major mileage to rack up on a sport bike (let alone with luggage!)... Sounds like a great trip!

I can appreciate long rides on sport bikes. I did an Oakland to Tijuana up to Oregon along the 1 & back to Oakland tour on my Gixxer one weekend... Incredibly uncomfortable, amazing I didn't get a ticket, & a great weekend!

Re: impressive!

It wasn't too uncomfortable for me. Maybe in part to being a girl and not having anything that is going to hurt from all the pressure of leaning frontways in the crotch area. :) And yeah.....got 2 tickets. One in Salem and the other in Merced Cty. SUCKS. They total about $1,000.

Re: impressive!

That really sucks about the tickets (wow that's a lot of $$)... I try really hard to not get them. Fortunately for me while I had the Honda, the CBR is way faster than the police cruisers... :)

Yes, I think that crotch-rockets are likely even more uncomfortable for guys (the whole frontal area thing, + they're also made for smaller riders, in general (i.e. less than 6')).
