how many members from Oregon? would love to have you come on our monthly rides go to www.oregonscooterclub.org for more info. you dont have to be a member to come on our rides our main chapter is in portland with another chapter in salem. and we dont care what kind of scooter you ride. this months ride will be from Portland to multnomah falls and the salem chapter is going to be in the keizer Iris day parade next weekend. we have about 70 members but that number goes up in the summer and I know Iam the membership officer. if you do decide to join its 45.00 and 30 for renewal and worth every penny as a member you get discounts at local scooter shops and members get into our 3 day camping rally for free the rally includes camping, free food all weekend,free beer (after the rides) group rides we even set up an outdoor movie theater for entertainment fun for the whole family.

Hi Mike,
I'm in Milwaukie. Still no scooter, but I may have one soon. When the much-awaited day comes I will be joining the club.
Are we the only 2 Oregonians?

Hey Mike,
I'm from The Dalles, Or.
There's not very many scoots here so I get a lot of looks from the locals. Portland to Multnomah Falls? Are you taking the scenic highway?

ya thats the only way thats safe that ride was last month this month we went to the aviation museum to see the spruce goose. we took 99w. next month we are going in the mt hood area. I live in Portland and there are thousands of scooters here so I dont get those looks what I do get is cars misjudge how fast I am going when they are pulling out of side streets.

Yea, cars pulling out on me are pretty scary as well as impatient people passing me without leaving enough lane. Luckily, there's not a whole lot of traffic out here but deer seem to be the threat.
The rides sound fun. Are there any 50cc scoots on the rides? My wife is just getting into riding and bought a 50cc scoot that tops at 40mph.

we are thinking of doing some slow rides for 50cc scooters if oregon riders have an interest in this let me know. also we do have a support vehicle on our rides in case of breakdown so if this has kept anyone from coming on rides we got it covered.

I have a 150cc but wouldn't mind a leisurely drive. (I'm scared of really busy roads, although I do drive McLaughlin in Milwaukie a bit) Did you go to the Oaks Park Oktoberfest scooter thing on Sunday? We found it online Sunday morning & went from about 1-3pm. Lots of nice scooters. I loved the one with the tail!

I didnt go because I forgot the date oh well. the ride we do in october you would probably like we go to suavie island for the corn maze some people buy pumpkins. I heard grumblings that we may go to another maze out towards beavertown. either way it feels alot safer when you are riding in a group people tend to slow down when they see a group of 30 or more scooters going down the road. I will post the exact locations when I get the info.
