    Maddog and I rode down to Eugene OR to meet up with the next Governor of Oregon. Dennis Richardson is doing a ride up the freeway and making several campaign stops. Will be doing the 100 mile ride back to Portland and going to his rally stops. We're all known as the Richardson Rangers in support of him.

    This man running for the candidate for Republican Governor is a intelligent and a genually nice man. We rode with him from Eugene to Portland making 6 stops along the way. He gave a very good speech at the steps of the Oregon
    Capital building where he resides as a state representative.
    Here are some pics, couldn't get any while riding down the road.
    He also road an electric bike the last leg that is built in Ashland Oregon. Will go 100 miles on a charge, takes 3 hours to recharge so not much more than a commuting bike but loads better than the Harley electric bike. It has 6 speeds and will do over 100 MPH.

    Hard to get excited about any politician. If you're happy I'm happy you're happy for this above mentioned opportunity.

    Very rare is the politician that genuinely and sincerely listens and executes for the common man. The closest we have is independent Berni Sanders from Vermont.

    Bikers are a viable voting group for a politician. Especially older ones. Bikers are no longer represented by the various 1% clubs as noted in the 1960's... bikers are majoritively main stream America now. Many vets and every brother,sister and their cousin rides one kind a bike or another thanks to gas prices and the 360 improvement reliability of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
