I've always wanted to ride my Vespa back to Portland since moving to Astoria, but never thought my 150 Primavera would be fast enough/safe to ride on the hwy. I can't believe I never saw this before! :D

You can definitely do it and if you take that backroads route that goes by Vernonia it’s absolutely gorgeous. Have fun out there!

Nice scenery. I bought a Piaggio BV400 at the end of 2022, didn't have much time to ride what with the rainy season coming on.. I am looking forward to stretching it's legs this summer. I've taken some longer rides on my GTS 300 but I think the Piaggio will be a better Freeway commuter. Hoping to take a ride down the coast to Santa Barbara again.

I live in AZ, the desert hell hole of the country. I have relatives in the Portland area (Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, they move often) that I go visit once or twice a year for a couple weeks. I have driven up to Astoria at least 20 times, and crossed that huge bridge over river into Washington. I always wished I could do it on a scooter or motorcycle. I think Astoria is the most beautiful place in Oregon. Western Oregon is a beautiful place, too bad their politics are so messed up. I could never live there.

Definitely used the wrong screenshot of the map. We did not take Highway 26 but you could do that if you don’t want to go Highway 30 to Scappoose and then turn left on the Scappoose-Vernonia Highway.

A RAM mount. The specific one I’m using is a GPS holder that’s spring loaded. There’s a regular size and an XL for larger phones. I love it. It’s easily operated one handed and the phone stays put!
