RE: Long Beach to Portland

Thanks for the offer, Pdedse, and good luck on your trip! I'm planning my route now, and looks like my last riding day, Friday, will have me going from Florence or Newport on the coast to Portland, getting to the MotoQuest office to drop off the bike in the afternoon. From there I'm headed to the airport and my flight home. Looks like they are just over three miles from the Portland airport, so I'll ask if they can drop me off, or it should be a very quick Uber ride.

My route plan so far is:
Day 1: L.A. to Monterey
Day 2: Monterey to Fort Bragg (routing over the Golden Gate Bridge)
Day 3: Fort Bragg to Crescent City
Day 4: Crescent City to Florence or Newport
Day 5: Portland and fly home

L.A. to Monterey is a long first day in the saddle, but I've done that ride plenty of times and don't need to stop at all of the scenic places along the coast. Plus, if I am delayed for any reason, I can ditch the coastal route and beeline up the inland route.

Just need to fine-tune and book some rooms. I'm riding an F750GS, and scanning a few reviews, it's called a good canyon-carver, so it might be more fun on the coastal twisties than the bigger bikes I've typically ridden.
