Premium Member fr8dog Posted March 18, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 Managed to dodge most of the rain. Fueled up in Horseshoe Bend, then it started to pour. Lasted about 20 minutes. Made small talk with a harley guy. It was painful. Was nice to get out and find some good roads. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 You drove right past my Dad's house! Almost.... He lives in Emmett. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fr8dog Posted March 18, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 I waived. Do you visit? Let me know next time and we can meet up. The road from Emmett to Horseshoe Bend is a good one. First time up in that area. Most of that ride was good. The only bad stretch is from Lowman to Idaho City. Still a lot of snow and something about the road makes the tires a little sketchy and feeling loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being right on the border, you are close to all of the amazing riding that Oregon has to offer. Are you new to the Boise area or have you already ridden the good stuff? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until it gets warmer, that section from Idaho City to Lowman is twisty paradise!. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another month and I'll be out every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon riding is a slippery slope down the rabbit hole, you have been warned. 😎 I'm not joking, all the way up to the Washington border and out to the Pacific coast, it is AMAZING. I have logged many more miles in Oregon than my own state. If you want suggestions on day trips or overnight trips, just ask. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
