I live in Beaverton and commute to Portland year round - about 25 miles a day. I also do 100-300 mile rides on weekends out to the Gorge, the coast or Mount St. Helens. I ride a VFR 800. For me it is a nice balance between comformatable and sporty.
Layers are good here as we get wide temperature swings during the day - I frequently wear rain suits over mesh gear in the summer mornings, rain suit over perforated leather in spring and fall, and rain gear over textile in the winter
As well as the odd icy day, we are pronne to some heavy fog - sometimes below freezing in the winter. Most times I ride 4 out of 5 days in the winter.
