Winter 2015

We have had the most unusually warm , and spectacular winter weather, here in central Oregon! The skiers are complaining, but the motorcycle riders are rejoicing!

We just took a ride out to Silver Lake, for lunch at our favorite little restaurant, The Feed Barn Cafe, and then continued on to Summer Lake Hot Springs, for a much needed soak in the pool.





The Feed Barn Cafe, in Silver Lake, is a hidden gem. The food is great. We've enjoyed massive breakfasts, and juicy burgers. Their bacon is to die for, and they have cinnamon rolls that are bigger than your head! We highly recommend a visit, the next time you're in the area! 












Summer Lake Hot Springs, is about 100 miles from our shop. A scenic ride out Highway 31, and a great place to soak your cares away. $10 will get you in.











The outdoor soaking pools are peaceful, and serene.







The indoor pool is rustic, but has plenty of room to paddle around. As some of you may already know, or be surprised to find out, Stacie, leads a double life as a floral designer. A motorcycle ride, and soak, at Summer Lake Hot Springs, was the perfect antidote, to consecutive 12 hour days on her feet, designing Valentine's Day flower arrangements!


Billy, also took advantage of our weather, (... and Stacie's long hours at the flower shop) to ride to Crater Lake National Park, last week. Crater Lake, is even more breath taking, when it's covered in snow!




The only way in to Crater Lake, in the winter, is through the south entrance. Here is our newly acquired, Triumph Tiger, posing by the sign.











The historic Crater Lake Lodge, is all boarded up for the winter.








The lake is such a perfect mirror; you can hardly tell where the mountains stop, and the reflection starts!










Another beautiful picture of the lake.









....and another beautiful picture of our new Triumph Tiger 800!







Like we said, we have had some very nice weather. We usually don't rent bikes in the winter months. Our bikes are on winter coverage with the insurance company, and our roads are usually covered with snow. This year, we are willing to make an exception. We will rent bikes, as long as the weather continues to be good, but a bike must be rented for 3 days, in order for us to put full coverage on it. It doesn't have to be 3 days in a row, but it must be 3 days in the same month.

Central Oregon is waiting for you!
