I was thinking about trying to get to Mount Hood this weekend, but since I’m still ‘running in’ the engine for the first 600 miles (more than halfway there now), I decided not to push the scooter at highway speeds for too long.
So, Orient Drive. The fun part of the road is a two-lane stretch of country highway with variable speed limits. There are some nice long stretches of hilly straightaways, so I was able to let the throttle out and have a little fun. Not as many twists and turns as I’d like, and overall a short-ish stretch of ‘fun’ road (certainly less than 20 miles of ‘fun’ road) that takes a while to get to from my house, but nonetheless a rewarding ride down a scenic country lane.
Fun little moment: I stopped in at a local dive bar and had a beer while a guy apparently won something like $600 at the lottery machines.
Here's the route map:

More nice views.
