We are within striking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Most likely tomorrow, late afternoon.
The 950 is having fuel delivery problems, which seem to be isolated to a Carter fuel pump installed by the prior owner. It remains intermittent, so I will buy a replacement in the morning from NAPA (in Canyonville) and we will press on, and swap it out if required.
Anyone live in Ashland or Medford? I will be there for some routine maint to the 950, and we could do a little meet-and-greet.
I will post pictures and more video soon - promise!

Scott- Fuel delivery problems aren't uncommon on the 950 (you probably already knew that). While you're sitting around at camp check every inch of tubing on the fuel system, including vent lines. I had a vent line that got pinched between the engine and frame. When the engine got to a certain temp it would expand enough to pinch the line and cause the bike to stutter. If I took it easy or shut the bike off for awhile it would cool down and run fine, again. Of the handful of fuel problems I had with the 950, the pinched vent line was the most frustrating.expeditionswest said:
Congrats on making it to OR! I was just there on the GS. Wish I would've timed it better to buy you a beer. Keep it safe!

I was there on the 25th. Just missed you...kinda. We also had a $4.00 milkshake and it was great. Nothing like a Denio milkshake to help swallow the dust.

Poor Brian. He looks like any of us would after two weeks chasing Brady and his dreams on a bike.
Congratulations to both of you!
I am glad the KTM made it all the way!
