Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Seattle Folks - Ride this weekend?

Who's up for a Seattle area ride this weekend? It's suppose to be around 68 degrees - no rain... I'm thinking Saturday would be the best day.. It would be nice get a group together. Let me know..

Icould make it this weekend...where did you wish to ride??over stevens to the Plain/Lake Wenatchee loop??south arround Mt.Rainer??Over Chinook to morton for lunch??The peninsula to Hurricane Ridge??Let me know as I will be able to commit thursday evening.These will all be good for sunday rides also.

sorry Karen I wont make this one...LMAO
Of course Im in...I wouldnt miss a chance to ride with my boo!

So...Karen suggested it but she has me looking into routes.

Heres a thought....
We meet up around Sammamish or wherever....take Issaquah Hobart Rd to 169 to 410 to 123 to 12 end up in Morton...for lunch.
Depart Morton via 7 to 161 up through Enumclaw back to where we started...dropping off as needed to get home.

Another option is to meet up in Snohomish and head north on 9 around Mt Baker. SR 9 to 530 to 20 and down 532.

So...options are there...now we need peeople to want to ride.
Karen is in, Im in.
Bob may be in.
Kirk?
Larry?
AndyM?
Dustin?
Mike?

Of course Celt, Soren and anyone else that wants to come on over....

another option for ride ..we could tool down to beaverton for Cascades open house with free food and door prizes..check out their home page..Soren will be there..3 hours down and 3 back plus..just a thought..looks as though I may be able to join up..will definetely know tomorrow..so lets committ or stay on the couch..Where are you seattle guys????

Depending on the distance/time requirement I could be in. Might be hard to get the wife's approval to go to Oregon but I could try if that's the plan. Grabbing lunch somewhere sounds like fun though.

put a posting on the OlyRats page to see if any interest in going to Cascade Motor open house..will talk to JHaggard if He is back from Colorado..will keep all posted..free food and blues band with door prizes and discounts sounds good ..maybe I will get lucky!! we are running out of time and will need to put plan together for our ride..what do the others think..it will be cooler ..good for riding!!

Looks like it might be fun....
Bob...any routes in mind?

I could meet at 169 at 4 corners and go south on 169,south on 410,south on 162 thru Kapowsin(our route for Chehalis in april),south 7 to Morton,west on 12,slab to Kelso,south on 411,onto Oregon 30 and then 26 to Cascade..just a thought.Meet arround 10am should put us there before 100pm..could meet again for breakfast in Issaqua if you wish,then a 900 am meet..what do you think??Map it out for us in milage,etc.Thanks and you will get to show off the "BEST IN THE KOOTNEYS"award..please be humble BUT bring the award to display!!

OK...Karen is busy at work today...so Ill make the call...
* YES...well go to Beaverton (Dustin...itll be an all day thing so maybe you can fenagle your way into it...if not then next time).
* Meeting place...BOB...Ill leave that one to you. You call it (time, place) and well be there.

Mileage from Enumclaw is 182 time is about 4.5 hours without stops calculated.

Thanks for the heads up on the ride, my wife is puttering around the house tomorrow and said "why don't you go riding?"
Count me in! Let me know where and when and I'll be there.

Well heck...if were going to meet a new person we might as well meet up for some breakfast.
How about Issaquah Cafe say 8:30am. I figure an hour max for food, we head out at 9:30ish...we arrive in Beaverton about 2pm. We can decide at breakfast if we might want to slab further to save time...anyway...Im excited...a new person to meet!

I better go wash my bike now

I will be there at 830..Issaqua cafe..fuel at gilman and hwy900 so be fueled,with cash,hungry to go...see you then!!

8:30 issaquah cafe.. see you then!

Worst case I may be able to show up for at least the breakfast part to say hello and help send you guys off onto the fun journey (at which point I'd return home to start/finish the honey-do list).

4 of us are riding down..see you tomorrow Soren..save a plate for us!just talked to John and He will join us..that makes 5 plates for you to save Soren!!!

Hope the ride went well, nice cruising with you all the for the first part.

It was good to see you guys today! Hope you had a safe ride home.

Soren

I am the first to be home(I think)..great ride and day..a little sprinkles on the way home but no need for gear change..I am going to develop a new riding technik for these 400+mile days..Andy showed me the "hump-back"seating position..perhaps 'Z" or Jhaggard will post demonstration photo shoot..pretty cool.Thank everyone for the hospitality(burgers,salad,cookies,pop,ice cream and music)..hitting shower and bed!!

Karen and I are home...showered and beat.

Dustin...great to see you again.
Andy...great to meet you! Hope to ride with you again!
Bob / John...as usual its a pleasure to ride with you guys!
Soren...love the dealership! Love the family atmoshpere they have! Great to see you again!
Karen...nice ride today babe! You rock!

That was a fun ride. The group was great! It was great to meet you Andy... I can't wait to see those pics up with you in your "superman" seating style on your bike. I have no idea how you do that going 70 on the freeway

Dustin, It was nice to have breakfast with you.. hope you can hang for the whole ride next time.

Bob and John - you guys are awesome.

Soren - it was nice to see you in Portland! Make sure to put the info on the Baker City Ride in August so we can plan for it.

I hope this group will ride again together soon! Maybe to Baker City???

Glad you all made it back in good shape! Here is some info about the Baker City Rally.

Here are a few pics from our trip


John, Bob, Andy, Karen

Not an action shot but could you imgaine seeing this guy come flying buy you in this position?

Good lord, I start this thread and haven't been on here in a week! Would have loved to have gone but I had my bachelor party this weekend, and that was pretty crazy. The wedding is next Saturday, August 2nd. So I'm looking to get out this week for a ride at some point.

Z- Sorry for not getting back to you, I lost my cell phone and just got a new one yesterday and saw your message. Available this week for a ride?

Let me know! Looks like you all had a great ride.

Well let me just check in and say greetings from balmy Bahrain. It's after 10 PM and it's over 95 deg F (feels like 109 F)/ 35 deg C (feels like 43 C). At least I get to cool off in Adelaide, South Australia next week for most of August. While there, I'm going to be looking for a sheepskin seat cover for my next bike.

I hope you all keep riding safe. Don't skimp on the riding gear!! It's good to see John and Karen out there with the group as well.

Steve - when are you buying your next bike?
