[QUOTE="jammess, post: 1404407, member: 89387"] I bought my FJR in Kalispell, MT in June 2016 and was on my maiden voyage home to the central Oregon coast determined to make it in one day. All went well until I got near The Dalles on I84 which is the beginning of the Columbia River Gorge and wouldn't you know the famous gorge west wind was doing its thing. The previous owner had installed an after market touring windshield that was absolutely the worst windshield I've ever seen on a motorcycle! I was down to 45 mph and still couldn't handle it so I called it quits at Hood River and yes, I agree, HR is a great place for some barley therapy. First thing I did when I got home was order a Cee Bailey which made all the difference. Shame Cee Bailey no longer makes motorcycle products. Suggest trying SR14 on the Washington side when navigating the Columbia gorge. Oh, next day I got into Portland and stuck for two hours in traffic so I turned around and rode back to The Dallas and down US97 which was better than I5 anyway. This was a fun two days and my first ride on an FJR. It's just got better ever since especially after the RDL saddle. [/QUOTE]
