Saw a DL650 at 232nd and hwy 212 this morning around 7:45, rider was wearing a motorcross neck brace. 5 min later saw a DL1000 headed east on hwy 212 in Damascus.
I also noticed a white DL that must belong to someone that works near me at a wheel shop in Clackamas.
I was on a Black 2012 VStrom headed toward Bend on 97 between Madras & Redmond, I saw a Blue VStrom around 10am Sunday 7/26, about 10-20 cars later, I saw a Red Vstrom, both headed from Bend toward Portland. Chilly day for July, eh?
This morning, riding "together" starting on Barbur Blvd and then I-5 North to the 405 split. You were wearing a high-viz Nolan helmet and riding a black Wee. I was wearing a white helmet riding the grey Wee that pulled onto Barbur Blvd ahead of you.
My wife and I just knocked out a 10 state push and were in Lava Hot Springs on the 9th of September. We racked up a little less than 4000 miles over the western US 2-up fully loaded on a 2014 650. We had an amazing trip! Sadly, I think I might have counted a total of 6ish sightings the whole time and more BMWs than I could count.
Still amazing trip with lots of awesome people met!
Hope you enjoyed the Hot Springs! A couple of those pools were so hot that I would not go deeper than my feet.
Was out between Monroe and Snohomish, WA yesterday afternoon and found myself behind myself. There was a couple of riders dressed almost identically, on very similar bikes. I think hers was a BMW, but his was a black Strom, just like mine, black cases, yellow jacket, etc.
You were sitting right beside me in Kent on Smith Street at the light. We both have Blue V-stroms. I was wearing a First Gear TPG Expedition suit with a white helmet. You may have notice a toot of my air horn as you pulled away...
There is a decked out strom in UWMC parking. I'm guessing someone that works there. Rock guards, gigantic hand warmer muffs, frickin water and gas storage mounted to top case. I should just take a photo sometime, it's ridiculous.

Haven't seen another storm for a while (even though I know there are a bunch of you out there) and then tonight I see two within a minute of each other. It was 6:10PM, I was sitting on at the Barbur Blvd exit from I-5 south (next to The Original Pancake House). Both of you were heading north on Barbur. First rider was on a silver/gray bike, newer model. Second was on a blue one (though I'm having second thoughts about that color; that's what i get for waiting a couple hours to post this), older model.
Spied a dark, Gen 1 650 traversing Victor/Driggs Idaho lately. Saw you ride by a couple of times as I was enjoying a morning coffee sitting outside the Victor market. I'm on a '12 black 650 Adventure with Massachusetts tags. There's no mistaking that headlight display coming toward me on Rte 33!! Ride safe!
