Vancouver WA Weather
Happy days are in the weather forecast for the next 9 days with great riding weather. Mid to high 60's with a couple of days at 72-74*.
Time for more exploring new roads as I've only lived here... -

For the same reason that lots of folks change their oil every 3000 mi. just so they can have that warm fuzzy feeling. I'm old school and subscribe to the practice of dumping that oil for the first time...Leave a comment:

You must be a very patient person to film these videos. Doesn't appear to be an easy task. Kudos to you Chris! -
