What I've been listening to lately...

Spruce, Cedar, Oak and Giant Airplanes


I've spent plenty of time in Portland, Oregon... Enough to know I can find a ramen shop that'll play Kevin Gates while I eat dolphin-friendly tonkotsu. But aside from summers spent exploring the coastline west of the city in search of surf, I hadn't seen a lot of the surrounding area, which includes a rather infamous old hotel high in the mountains and a giant wood airplane that cost the US government $23 million dollars to develop. There's also wineries and riverboats and rural communities out there that'll make you question your current living arrangements, and lingering daylight in the summer months that stretches well past 9pm. 

So, if you're interested to see what else Portland, Oregon has to offer, hit the link to RoadRUNNER Motorcycle, Touring, and Travel, or grab a copy of their current issue, and read about my experience exploring the area on a Kawasaki Versys 650 last summer.
