PNW trip this summer? (2013 version)

[Red01]

Looking at getting together with Bandit Alley friends for a PNW ride. 
Tradition has it in August for 4-5 days.  Thinking about western OR this time, but open to ideas if interested parties have any.  Actual dates still open for discussion, too.  Riding a Bandit for this event is optional (obviously, since I don't have one anymore).

In! 

Best timing for me would be the first week of August...

Aug 8-12 time frame might work out best for me...I have family in from Hawaii earlier, and possible track day later. Let me know, and I'll see what I can work out. I was bummed to miss last year...

The John Day area of Oregon is always great, we did Hwy 206 into Condon and Fossil to Antelope on this years Cali trip. I have done a bit of NW Oregon, some nice stuff there as well, and a little bit South and West of Eugene, but there is a bunch I have not done, so that all sounds good.

I'll do my best to work it into the schedule. The Sprint got new Racetech suspension this year, so a little tighter now.

I can work with anything during Aug.  Just need a days notice to submit my vaction form.

I can make the 8th-12th work.

Sure we couldn't stretch SW OR into NW CA?  I've been itching to ride CA 36 ever since I learned of it.
It's sign tops the 77 mile warning on US 12 over Lolo Pass.

Whoo Hoooo. I am alive and busier than a 2 peckered billy goat.
I have two cousins here from the 5th to the 15th. It would be nice to go 15 to 19 or somewhere near there.
I never have though there was much in western Oregon and its too close to metropolis for our usual pace. I may be wrong. Farther south might be better. That hyw Paul is mentioning sounds great. I am up for anything.

Is it ok to include some others from Max-Suz?

The 14th through the 20th is about the only stretch in August that doesn't work for me. What about the week of the 26th-30th?

I'm down for Hwy 36. But you thought NE Oregon was hot in August. Not sure I'm down for 100+ in Red Bluff. 
And I don't care if folks from MS want to come...

[Red01]

I don't think it's much different than E OR in August... at least not according to this:

BTW - I've invited a co-worker to come along as long as he promises to ride his C14 and not his V-Rod.

My sister & her husband just moved from the Bay Area to a ranchette just north of Chico... its about 30-35 miles SE of Red Bluff.  I could probably talk her into letting us swim in the pool and if the crowd's not too big, crash for a night. 
Might be hard telling her VTX riding husband he can't keep up with us though.

Withy every year that goes by, my pussy quotient when it comes to heat increases by a factor of 3.

When are you're trading your bike for an air conditioned sports car? 
Or are you going straight to a Lincoln Town Car
