<![CDATA[First post in the Oregon forum...again!]]>Well, I suppose I’ll create the first post in the Oregon forum. I know it has been years since this has occurred, but I’m kind of wiping the slate here (wiping it hard. So hard - you’ll have to re-create your old username, etc). I remember a sportbikes.ws from over a decade ago that was a thriving and vibrant community. I miss that group of people and I miss the synergy between us all. I miss the group rides and the Old Market Pub gatherings. I miss the connection and the friendships.

I know many of us have moved on and possibly don’t even have our 2-wheeled stallions any longer. But perhaps I’m waxing nostalgic, believing that there are a lot of us still out there, still riding, and just wishing our forum could be what it once was … and I’m talking before it degenerated into hooliganisms, political debates, and drifted away from the thing we’re all here to share and enjoy: RIDING SPORTBIKES.

Anyway - I put this post out there hoping to be a seed. I put this new software out there hoping it will integrate better with today’s modern social-network landscape and mobile internet. I put this out there in hopes that we can rebuild something really cool.

If you’re really desperate to find something on the old forums, you can still find them out there at http://archive.sportbikes.ws …

Welcome back to all my Oregon friends who find your way here. I’ll look forward to seeing you on the web … and on the asphalt.

-Murph

I’m back… and I’ve even got a new bike. It’s been so long since I’ve been on here that I think I’ve gone through two bikes…

Let’s see, I had the 929rr that I went full watercraft on, then the 2003 gixxer 1k, then the 2009 FZ-1, and now I’m on a 2014 Kawasaki Concourse.
Looking forward to getting back together with everyone (most everyone LOL).

That post is so old, I already have a new bike. Brand new 2017 FZ-10. Wooohoooo

I plan on skydiving in every state. I can also bring the bike along.

I’m back! Hopefully some of you remember me from PIR and the many rides I used to flog my Gs500 on trying to keep up…
Well, I’m back with a new steed that I shouldn’t have to work nearly as hard to keep up! Behold “The Mistress.” My 99 Zrx1100
Cant wait to meet up for some good riding again.

Took all day and then had a BBQ at someones house (too long ago to remember who).

Miss talking to old friends on here from Ore also. Miss them dearly.

Maybe we can squeeze in a few cold-weather rides weather-permitting? Would be great to have a reunion… 🙂

I see more life here now than in the last 4-5 years on the old site. That’s great. Murph, I agree with your comments on the old site and everything it was. Some of my fondest memories are of the group rides, winter functions and lasting friendships made as a result of my membership on SBWS. Good to see you replant the seed!

Ken

Life tends to change priorities around, but I still would like to meet up and ride with you all.
