Jordan's Royal Family Visits

A contingent of Jordanian and U.S. Secret Service guards, seen at Woodley Island Marina, is traveling with King Abdullah Hussein II on a tour of the West by motorcycle.

He was just in Bend, OR, so he is really covering the ground.

Random... but cool. I ride too, so it's a little interesting to see someone so high profile from so far away here just for a little roll...

[Raucous Brothers]

Where's the harem?

[Fortuna Resident]

This is great stuff. I wish I was him

being a dictator is 'much' better.

A charming and intelligent King who treats his people and the rest of the world with respect. If you get a chance, ask him why Democracy doesn't work in the Middle-Eastern Arab Nations.

Touring the west on a motorcycle. What a security nightmare. All those body guards with automatic weapons won't mean a tinkers damn when the last thing the King sees is the word, "Peterbuilt"

King Abdullah Hussein II is a gentleman and a scholar. I hope he enjoys his tour of the West Coast.

[amerswildcat]

i'd really like to meet him & i hope they have a safe return home

The King and his entourage pretty much took over Starbucks in Fort Bragg, Ca last Friday am. He was very gracious and posed for pictures with my wife. He even stood in line to order his latte. Only in America!

I agree.
I have had the pleasure of chatting with JY1((RIP/SK))( The last King of Jordan was an Amateur radio Operator) and found Jordanians as a whole, being very nice People.

[pretty obvious]

Hopefully he had a chance to stop somewhere between eureka and fort bragg.

I heard the southern humboldt-northern mendo has a mighty good greenity.

What are the "goom men"? Is that a secret club, like the Free Masons?
