I figured there has to be a few motorcycle guys on here as well! I'm a harley mechanic that relocated to the Seattle area a little over a year ago. Always interested in meeting and talking to like minded individuals.

I used to ride more. I've got an R1 in probably going to sell when it warms up. I tend to like jap bikes but I'm not picky. As long as it's got 2 wheels it's ok by me.

Started turning a kz400 into a cafe racer a few years ago just for putting around town.

That kz looks good! I've had a few jap bikes in the past. Always fun and reliable.

I love riding. I have a Suzuki M50 that I've had for 11 years now. I'm up to 30k miles on it, so I'm thinking it might be time for something new.

I've been dealing with some health issues, so only got to take it out a small handful of times this summer. Still pretty angry/frustrated about it all.

Sometimes I wonder why I've made the horrible choice to live somewhere that gets as little sun as we do, as the riding season is so short.

my daily driver: 2013 honda fury
I ride every day that is above freezing, and not raining too hard.


my sidecar setup for taking my 5 year old daughter with me.

I retired 5 years ago as of the January 31st. This was my retirement bike and the wife and I have ridden it to the southern tip of the Florida keys - mile marker 0. 5 sets of tires and 64000+ miles later she still runs like new. This is bike #7 possibly #8. I've probably ridden over a 1/4 million miles.
Unless I'm on a trip between stops I refuse to ride in the rain but every now and then shit happens and ya don't have a choice.
Come on Spring!!! Arizona is calling

There's 3 or 4 more projects or parts bikes I dint have pictures of

BMW GS

I ride as much as possible. Have 3 bikes in the garage to choose from. Two Harleys and a BMW R1200GS. Commute to work as long as it is above 35F in the morning. Ice scares the crap out of me. Rain no problem with the right gear.

Is that an S14 240SX on the right?

I used to ride as much as possible. Dirt, street, wherever.

Now, 40 years later, I have a knee and ankle that are great "weather forecasters". They've been telling me when our latest freezes were coming about 2-3 days before they arrive.

I can tell how much fun I had by the amount of pain killers I need to take when the weather is changing.

I'm am the same way. What kind of Harleys do you have? I wrecked mine just before moving down from canada and have been looking for something new ever since.

2013 Superglide and 2007 Sportster. I bought the Sportster to customize into a bobber. The wife took it for a ride a few years ago and claimed it as her bike. She has only taken it out twice in the last two years so I am thinking the bobber project is back on!

Prior to the Superglide I had a 2007 Ultra and before that a 2002 Heritage Softail and before that... this could take a while.

Just curious are you a dealer mechanic or independent?

Sounds like it's about time to claim it back and have some fun with it. I work at Eastside Harley in Bellevue but live in north Seattle. Always interested in side work though :) haha
