    Spotted a few trucks on my vacation

    Like the title states, I have spotted a few trucks. I just last week went on vacation to Portland then to Oregon coast thru redwoods, then back. so about 2500 miles. (on wife's car) Maybe someone on here was one of em. As I didn't have the forethought to write them down here is the list that I can remember.

    shamu pulling dirt bikes northbound thru the grapevine
    shamu by truck stop in Lebec ( middle of grapevine)
    03 black with disabled plates Sacramento
    3rd gen for sale by Portland Oregon
    spotted 3rd gen in Sacramento on freeway.

    I know I spotted more just can't remember. Just figured I would share. It's funny that you dont recognize how many of a specific vehicle is around until you own one yourself.

    I knew you were up there but I didn't want to bother the wife with the "let's go meet this guy" routine lol. Besides I'm gonna move up there in a couple years. Just need to fine a nice area. I'm thinking West Lynn or Oregon City area. Idk tho. Need more input or research

    Same here Phil. Never really noticed that many until I got mine. Now it seems like see them everywhere. The good, the bad, and the ugly by the way. Some make me sad.

    Just saw another Shamu two weeks ago (which appeared to be extremely well taken care of) getting off the freeway two exits prior to mine but haven't had the opportunity to speak to anyone yet like in a parking lot or at the fair, etc. so I could invite them to a GTG.

    Do what I do . Take a copy of the Harley Davidson article on here. Print it out, put it in a zip lock bag and put it under the windshield wiper.

    I miss that place. Only wished I had worked closer to where I live at the time. A few years prior I lived in Vista the first time and work at the Marine base, took me all of 15 min to get to work that was the life. I've done the same thing with a couple of HD around my area and my wife calls me a creep for going to take a peek at their trucks but I as well don't know what to say lol.
