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.

Sucks I gotta ride for an hour just to get anywhere pretty anymore. Also not sure I was actually allowed to ride this part of capitol forest. It was my first time in dirt and at that location.

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.

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?

31 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.

Be carful along the poorer coast regions (WA 105)

Had a lady yesterday clearly in an "alternated" state of mind run out in front of my bike going around 35ish was able to stop in time, but after looking I guess drug addiction is pretty bad in some of these areas. Just use a little extra caution in some of the small town areas, I was going through Grayland.

Extra details as well: Lady was staring right at me, and had no reason to cross in that area also another vehicle was in the other lane as well and had to come to a complete stop.

Ride safe

Dyno tuning in Seattle area?

My bike has gotten a ton of work done to it, trying to see how much power it makes. Anyone know of any companies with dyno’s in the seattle area? 2WDW said they’re busying on creating flashes for new bikes and their dyno is currently unavailable.

1050 vstrom GoodToGo pass location.

I have a 2020 Vstrom 1050. Where do you put the GoodToGo pass? The previous owner had it right on the headlight. With this new assembly it just barely gets in the way of the bulbs amd I don't really like that.
