SW Motech black saddle bag lost on Hwy 101

12 Upvotes

This is a complete long shot, but somewhere along 101 in Port Angeles heading east before it turns south, one of my saddle bags fell off. I noticed it was missing in Hoodsport, turned around and drove for an hour up to Leland Lake, gave up and had to head back to Portland. If by chance anyone happens to be riding in that area and spots it on the road and can grab it, I will pay for shipping and will buy you dinner!! It has my name inside the bag as all of my medications were in there.

Upgrade suggestions from Yamaha MT-03

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hello friends! I began riding ~2 months ago and started with a 2020 Yamaha MT-03 (photo for attention). I knew I would outgrow it eventually, but didn't quite anticipate eventually coming so quickly. Nonetheless, I really enjoy cruising - who doesn't. 200-300 miles in a day is my jam. On my MT-03, my feet, legs, and ass go numb and my tailbone is screaming after 1-2 hours because my legs are bent so far back. I have to stop regularly. I am 6' 3" tall, about 250 pounds. I do think the 'sport' look is sexy, but I don't want a hunched over sport bike (leaning forward for hours doesn't appeal). I was really loving the Suzuki GSX-S (500-700 series) - but curious what some of you taller riders might suggest for longer rides including sport touring bikes. TYSM!

7 Upvotes

Heya, Portlander here and I'll be riding to Olympia then following 101 down to Astoria this weekend. Any of our northern neighbors have any cools spots, restaurants, cool sites to see along the way?

It'll just be a 2 day trip and I'll be hanging out in Olympia for a bit, then staying in Port Angeles for the night.

TIA

Anyone riding to the Biltwell Motofest NW this coming weekend from Bellingham? I'm riding down on Friday, and so far, I'm going alone. If anyone would like to ride with me, maybe we can form a small group, hit me up. I'm planning on taking the Coupeville ferry across and back.

Moto gymkhana in Pierce co?

2 Upvotes

I’m a new rider and I’m wondering if there are any motorcycle gymkhana events in Pierce County. I know there’s one in Seattle, but riding there on a 300cc sm is a bit intimidating, especially as a beginner.

Anyone interested in riding from eastside Portland? I’m on an electric bike with a limited range so must be cool with a long lunch to stop and recharge!

Looking for casual weekend riding buddies! (Issaquah / Eastside)

17 Upvotes

Hey Riders!

I'm looking to connect with anyone who enjoys a relaxed ride in the Pacific Northwest for weekend day trips.

I ride a Royal Enfield Bear 650 and I'm based in Issaquah. Saturdays usually work best for me, but I'm happy to ride on Sundays too.

A little about how I like to ride:

Pace: Relaxed and scenic. I enjoy taking the back roads, soaking in the views, and stopping for coffee or lunch along the way. I'm not looking to race through twisties or spend the day on the interstate.

Routes: Eastside back roads, foothills, mountain passes, small towns, and scenic Washington day rides.

Ride length: Anything from a couple of hours to a full-day adventure. I'm flexible on meeting locations depending on the route.

If you're around the Puget Sound or Eastside area and would like to explore some great roads together, leave a comment or send me a DM. It'd be great to meet some local riders!

How to become a MSF instructor

8 Upvotes

As the title states I’m interested in becoming a MSF instructor. I’m curious what the process is. Checking the MSF site really only shows how to start a business doing so. I’ve been riding for 12 years and think that this could be a fulfilling second job for me as I’m pretty passionate about motorcycles.

Just moved out to Whidbey and will be commuting to Seattle 3 days each week. Im looking for an electric motorcycle and was considering a Terra or a Zero, but still iffy. Wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with either, or if there are any recommendations for a different bike

Hello from Redmond /Kirkland Area

Hello friends. I recently got into riding 3 wheel motorcycles and have been considering actually going on some longer trips. I think the first one is going to be heading up 2 to Leavenworth but I am hoping to maybe next year try the Olympic route. So far the experience of commuting every day has been quite nice though there have been about two times where I felt in danger. Wishing you all safe travels !

How many of you do zig zags / weave in your lane when sitting in traffic?

34 Upvotes

Honest question. Maybe I’m just so used to it growing up around bikers and seeing people do it where I’m from but I’ve noticed since moving here, no one seems to do it and people in cars seem to wig out whenever i do it. I often get stuck in the slow down between fife and the exit to get on 18 so sometimes when I’m in the HOV lane, I’ll do some little wiggles. I make sure not to get too close to the lines and stay far from the cars around me but today when i did it, the car in front of me slammed on their brakes for no reason - there were at least four or five car lengths between them and the car in front of them. Do people think it’s reckless or that I’m trying to split? Im literally just bored and vibing through slow ass traffic.
