If I am still near town I will stop over, even though I hate crossing the bridge to the Westside. Is there an off pavement route to Tigard LOL, wait I though this was a Portland meetup when did we annex Tigard??

 

[Smileyshaun]

So silly question if I setup a Sunday meeting instead of Saturday who would be interested? I would have a forklift available to test suspension and maybe go head down some trails after . Just asking because I work Saturday and can never make these meets

Hello Team,

I found this great article on how to drive on the dunes that I wanted to share. >>> Tips and Tricks: Driving in Dunes

 

[Redleg627]

Decided it was time to venture out after our forever lock down. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Hi Smileyshaun,

This meetup occurs on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM. I hope that works for you. I'm sure there are folks in this meet up (including myself) who would like to go on a Sunday ride. Join us and lets work out a trip.

Overland RS, I feel your pain about the bridges. I prefer the Sellwood bridge when I cross. So funny >>> "Portland Meetup when did we annex Tigard??" . Hope to see you there!

Yes Sellwood is my preferred.

I'm open to do the first section of the WABDR. I have time the week of 23rd of Aug.

 

[UgotWheelz]

I guess I can leave my basement and venture across the bridge to the West Side and attend. Might be fun to put faces to some of the names from the forum.

Hello Team,

Looks like we have a good size group this month. Lets meet out front, then migrate to the banquet room as a group.

Cheers,

John

I had a great time at the meetup. It was great seeing the new faces and some faces from last meetup LOL.. We had a cool line up of rigs and a trailer to look at. A few of us decided to bring our overland trailers next meetup.

- There is some talk about setting up a weekend WABDR trip in Aug.
- We also talked about a weekend day trip were we have a BBQ on the trail.
- I plan on going to the WA Kennewick Swap meet Sep 18. (Rally Point)
- Im thinking about going to the Gambler 500 HoopiexFest Sep 11-12.

Let me know if there is any interest in these events?

Cheers,

John

Hey Guys, I just discovered this forum…sorry for being late to the party!

I have enjoyed our first two meetups, and plan to attend again in September.

As we discussed, I’ll plan to bring the trailer next time. Looking forward to seeing everybody’s setup!
