Hey guys, Emile here, I'm back at Steve's and Tina's  right now in Redmond Oregon. I'm gonna try to fly to Seattle
2morrow and from there on to Amsterdam. Today I took it easy, didn't do any riding, I needed some rest from last
week's Pacific Coast ride.

Wow, what a week it was.. man did I enjoy myself !  According to some riders I enjoyed myself way too much, sorry about that, I couldn't resist myself...  that's what you get when they built all these mountains and winding coastlines.. not my fault.. duh !

I didn't expect to see so many winding, climbing, turning, diving, rollercoast like and breathtaking roads.  In my not so humble expert opinion I have to rate these roads with a drool factor of 10. I found it hard to concentrate on these pegdragging corners (sorry Ken for dragging the passenger pegs when you were on the back) while these beautifull coastlines, redwoods and smells were wizzing by. Man those smells.. different everywhere but soo nice...  And those roads... I still keep rolling out of bed dreaming about them.. better than flying.. better than any rollercoaster. And of course the people ...  just as nice and looney as on the list (oh hi Lee !).

My thanks to Leland for setting this all up, and to Steve, the greatest man on earth, for lending his ST to a 26 year young mad low flying Dutchman he had never met before.

I took about 600 pics with my digital camera to comply with some of the listers desire to see a lot pictures of everything. It's gonna take a day or 2 to get them all editted etc.

See y'all later,

Emile
