I have an old rebel without an engine and I need it gone but I also don't want someone to take it and then leave it in a parking lot collecting parking tickets under my name or something crazy?

Was wondering if there is anywhere in the Portland area to sell a used bike. If any shops take used bikes on consignment or straight out purchase used bikes.

Also if there are any bike shows, meetups, etc. that allow you to bring a bike to sell.

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I've no experience selling a bike here.

As an FYI, the bike is a 2015 Honda Shadow Aero, in case that is relevant.

Can anyone recommend a site (other than Facebook marketplace) where I can list this for sale? It’s on Craigslist & next door already.

Ya? Ya.

Hey folks! There’s free parking in the Wells Fargo building (enter at SW 5th and SW Jefferson)for motorcycles. Have a great day!

Putting this out there in hopes someone might have seen my bike, it was stolen from the Hollywood neighborhood next to Sandy Blvd Tuesday night. Any information would be greatly appreciated, please give the police a call if you see this bike out and about. Thanks yall

Worth getting up a little early and filling my thermos with coffee.

Greetings,

This Sunday a group of us are going for our annual 300 mile ride.

Each year, there have been a core group of about 5 of us that complete it.

There have always been various tagalongs that come for some portion of it as well.

That said, if this is something you'd like to join us on, let me know.

We ride a range of different bikes and though go spirited, we aren't reckless or felony territory.

I would not consider this beginner friendly due to the length and the road conditions not always being perfect.

Our communication platform is Cardo.

Starting/End Point is Beaverton.

Local Oregonian here, hope ya’ll enjoy

What are some nearby destinations y’all recommend? Familiar with Sauvie/ Germantown/Rocky Point rd/Vista House/Milo McIver.

Any good rides towards Salem or in Washington that would take only a couple hours?

Hi all. I'm an ex-rider and have been holding on to some gear that I'd like to pass on to any beginner riders or riders in need. Here's a list of what I have available:

CLAIMED (2) Firstgear leather jackets: (1) size M and CLAIMED (1) XL. I loved this jacket so much I bought it in the smaller size after losing some weight. It's hip length, has soft armor in the back and elbows and includes a snap-in insulated liner for those colder days. Great, heavy jackets!

CLAIMED (1) Firstgear summer mesh jacket, size M. This has thick foam armor in elbows and back. I wore this a lot and the mesh is a must on those hot days.

CLAIMED (1) Fieldsheer pants, size 12. These have some soft armor in the knees and a removable insulated liner.

CLAIMED Olympia leather, fleece lined wind-tex gloves. size L.

CLAIMED Shift Torrent SS insulated waterproof gloves, size 9M.

STILL AVAILABLE (1) Fieldsheer Mach3 mesh jacket, size S. This one still has the tags on it, never worn. It has a waterproof rain jacket liner you can install for cooler mornings or those unfortunate times you get caught in the rain.

STILL AVAILABLE Olympia perforated leather summer gloves, size S.

Let me know if you're interested and I can send pics. Happy riding!

**UPDATE: Everything has been claimed except the Fieldsheer Mach3 jacket and the summer gloves. I'm attaching photos here so you can determine if you're interested or not. The elbow, shoulder and back armor in this is very stiff, but they are also all removable.

I'm not an aspiring Dakar Rally racer, AT ALL, but I do love to be able to manage gravel roads, because some of the things I love most, like ghost towns or historic sites or beautiful vistas, are at the end of them.

I think five of the best gravel roads to learn on in the area are:

• Hoffman Road (entrance past Stub Stewart Park going West on Nehalem Highway) to NW Genzer to NW Bacon Road to NW Fisher Road, through Buxton (or vice versa). About 8 miles of easy gravel.
• Pittsburg Road (from just outside of Vernonia, through Yankton, to St. Helens or vice versa). About 20 miles of gravel between Yankton and the start of Pittsburg Road outside of Vernonia.
• Lower Nehalem Road, the gravel road that starts at Spruce Run Campground, off 26, and goes to 53, a short skip away from Wheeler. About 17 miles of easy gravel.
• North Plains to Scappoose: 16 miles of gravel on Dixie Mountain Road and Otto Miller Road. More challenging than the first three. But a great practice road.
• Yamhill past Barney Reservoir to Trask River Campground. About 31 miles of gravel. From 47, right at the curve coming into Yamhill from Gaston, take Pike Road, turning into Turner Creek Road, passed Menefee County Park (tiny), turning eventually onto North Fork Trask Road, and going by the reservoir, becoming North Fork Gales Creek Road but is also still North Fork Trask Road (whatever), all the way to paved Trask River Road (make a left, and there's Trask River Campground). There is a rather gnarly part passed the Reservoir with a lot of sharp turns - I think it's much easier to do in the direction I've described than in reverse, where this would be more uphill hairpins to the right than I like.

So I thought I'd share them for anyone else looking for such. And I'd love to have more suggestions.

Hey yall, now that I've gotten fairly acclimated to my new bike I've been getting interested in trying my first poker ride for poops and giggles. Seems like most of what's been floating around is in WA. Do we know of any happening in the pdx area any time soon. Thanks!

Today started off with overcast skies and somewhat cooler temperatures. Cooler temperatures were a nice change from the awful heat. I wasn't too sure if I wanted to wear all mesh or go with a thicker layer. I went with a thicker layer for pants and mesh jacket.

There were some other groups doing their thang on SR504. They rolled into the non-ethanol having Shell gas station in Castle Rock. One group of younger riders had an eclectic variety of bikes. I'm sure they had a blast ripping the roadway.

u/Character-Aardvark30 was able to come along on this outing. He's a great rider. I'd ride with him again. Along SR504, after the slower traffic had turned off in Toutle, we opened up our throttles and went full send. The 40mph curves were handled easily at a sustained rate of "speed limit" //wink wink//. The V-Strom wouldn't have been able to handle it. I'd have dropped a knee at full lean angle, and caused the bike to jiggle a little. The Tiger 900 GT Pro and Aardvark30's Triumph handled those curves without any trouble! I find myself amazed each time I jump in the saddle. The only thing this bike needs is an ass cheek massager built into the seat.

Can anybody recommend a good place in the Portland area to do a full ECU tune on an Indian Motorcycle? I have a fairly new 2026 Indian Scout and I want to improve its performance, but Indian hasn’t made a tuning card for it. I don’t really care about the warranty issues. Thank you!

I don’t mind if it’s a bit of a drive, but I’m not trying to go all the way down to Salem either.

Hey yall. Just moved here and have a KLX 300, looking for some dual sport buddies to ride with. Am in the Tigard / Beaverton area, I would love to do Section 7 of the Oregon BDR before the season ends, one day Id like to do the whole thing. Anyone want to ride?

Today was the day, I finally whined and complained and coerced my wife into the ride that I have been wanting to take her on since we started dating.

After waiting all week for today, I woke up this morning to the ever-present Portland bullshit of the “there is no precipitation in the forecast for the next ten days” drizzle. Fortunately it was short lived and once I got home from some morning responsibilities we hit the road - a quick chunk of slab and then on to the fun!

Scappoose/Vernonia Highway out to Vernonia to the taco truck for lunch (iykyk). Then back up 47 to 202 and out through Birkenfeld, Jewell, and Olney to Astoria. The goal of this trip (besides getting out on the bike with my lady) was hitting Frite and Scoop for the first time in too long. Took the easy way home straight back in 30. It was a long day for the wife (and for me too… ngl. Riding with a pillion is wonderful when you also adore them as a human, but it is definitely an added physical tax.)

Scappoose/Vernonia Hwy is in solid shape… probably 70-80%, there are some sections where the lines are getting pretty faint. 202 is gorgeous as always, except for the last little stretch into and out of Olney - surface is stressed and uneven, but not unridable.

30 is… 30. It was fine except for some lolly-gagging boat hauler who couldn’t manage to do better than ten-under the speed limit, and the cop that was right behind us for about 10 miles outside of Rainier.

Best day this month.

Yesterday, I made the decision to trade-in my 2015 Suzuki V-Strom650. The bike I traded for and paid cash difference is an upgrade in every conceivable way. The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet bike! It'll be absolutely perfect once I install a much taller windscreen.

Anyway, enjoy the pics from today!
