A couple of things didn't ring true in the story so I used the coordinates to find the scene of the accident.

Portland bikers do you know the neighborhood of 27thAVE and Powell in SE Portland, OR?

Mapquest came up with this...but the guy couldn't have been going S. Bound because the street doesn't go through.
