Glad you found the forum here!
I live out on the coast near Tillamook, but get out near you every so often.

[NWrider]

Thanks all. Is there some pretty good trail riding around Tillamook?

[RRyder]

Tillamook forest has a bunch of awesome riding. Diamond Mill has more tight single track than Brown's camp and the other areas. When you get really familiar you can network all the different trail systems with logging roads. Great riding area/s

[NWrider]

Sounds awesome have thought about trying out browns camp but havn't made it yet 1 of these years i will. Right now ive got my bike in pieces checking valves& jd kit etc. Just had checked valves started putting back 2 gether & we lost power been out for 4 days now ive never seen so much freezing rain hundreds of trees down kinda of reminds me of the trip 2 coast couple years ago with all the blowdowns gonna be lots of trail clearing in the spring

[RRyder]

Wow, Sorry to hear about the lost power and downed Beta. I wish you the best luck and a safe winter.

I just joined as well and have a 2010 450RR. I'm in Portland proper. Trying to get out to Browns Camp on Friday to do some riding. I'm also in the process of putting the beastie on the street. I just need signals, a horn and maybe a new tail light...we should try to organise a Western Oregon ride sometime soon. I know there are a few other Beta's around.

Cheers,
