Take the turn off from 101 to Pacific City in Oregon and ride the Three Capes up to Tillamook. The scenery is beautiful, and it wont really cost you any extra road time compared to staying on 101. Be sure and pack rain gear as the weather has been a bit stormy and will be for afew more days. If you are stopping off in Lincoln City, send a PM will meet and greet if ya have the time. Enjoy the Ride!
Ahh man you're not supposed to tell out of staters about that one
Check out the lighthouse there while you're at it.

Thanks for the help everyone.

One last thing ...

for OR coast and WA would you recommend a mesh jacket with lining or a vented leather jacket?

we have been looking at temperatures but cold use a little advice from riders who know the area.

Thanks,
arthur

For most conditions you will be fine with a vented leather jacket.

If you make it north of Seattle, you might want to look at going over the North Cascades Highway and taking a loop through north eastern Washington.

Most of the time on the coast I just wear a long sleeved sweatshirt over my T but I always keep the leather handy.
