I think he was just answering the question that you asked. I don't think he was actually asking for advice in this one. (jmho)

Intro -- Osgo -- Suzuki Gamma
Hello!

I'm new to the area, coming from NorCal and before that...Tokyo Japan. I currently own (2) Suzuki's, (RG250 & RG500) Gamma's and have just about completed everything to get my Mk.III on the road.

I'm looking for friendships, riding partners and a special request for any other 2-Stroker's out there, or anyone else who is familiar with RZV, RG, KR or TZR's...in Southern Oregon

I'm always on the lookout for parts and advice on the best 18" tires as I tend to go through them rather quickly... .

Hope to hear from you all and I look forward to exploring my new home!

Tschus,
-osgo

You're right. I probably didn't phrase that well. He said he wanted to learn everything so I thought I'd suggest starting a thread -- mainly because I wanted to give him advice myself but didn't want to thread jack this one more than I already had...

Hey,

Made a post today after lurking for a while - figure I may as well post here too. I'll likely just lurk a lot, and you'll forget I ever showed up. It's best that way.

Here's my bike and a friend of mine when I had first brought it home from the dealership:

I have been riding bikes all of my life, switched to the street about 2 years ago but still love to ride my dirtbikes. I guess thats about it. I guess I am looking for groups to ride with.

Hi y'all,
New to this site and figured I'd try to find some dyno mapping and get an '07 SV1000 back on the road for my buddy who got sideswiped downtown Tacoma last month...

Ebay'd most of the parts (bent forks, wheel,mirrors). Still need to get a front fairing, high mount dual exhaust, power commander and paint it black...

My pic is at Baker last year with the Super Rat guys...

New guy here from Port Orchard, WA. My name is Adam, 29 years old, grew up in Tacoma. Spent 5 years in the Marine Corps, lived in Portland for a couple years after getting out and we moved to Kitsap county about 6 months ago. I have only been riding for about a year and I am currently looking for my next bike. First bike was an 08 Ninja 250, had that for about 4 months then I had a Sportster for a few months which was long enough to figure out that i prefer sportbikes over cruisers. So far I am considering the SV, 650R, Street Triple, Daytona, and the Duc 696. Anyway, glad I found this sight and hope get out there are some great rides soon.

Hi all.

Ok, someone left the door open and a Old fart came in.

Worse yet, I ride one of them there Harley Davidson FLHT.

I don't care what anyone rides as long as there on two wheels I will ride with them.
I am always looking to see whats going on in the NW, so I thought this would be a fun place to hang out.

Heres a shot of my bike on Mary's peak.

Hey everyone. Terry Here. Joined this last month but had been looking around in here for awhile.
I ride both on and off road. I have a very trick 2004 YZ250 F for off road, "built to the hilt".

I just sold my street bike, a 2008 R-6s and in April bought a 2009 CBR 1000 RR. Leaving for Laguna in the morning on it for a few days for the GP races.

Have been around scooters since age 10 and am 53 now.
Worked at 4 Honda dealers in 2 States, (Washington and Arizona) early in my life.

I am a current NMA member and ride the off road poker run series every year. Am curious to ride a street ,(poker), run.

Write some articles for "Trailrider" magazine here and there. Mostly nostalgia stuff. On about motorcycle # 35 or 36.

Anyway, enough said I suppose. Seems like a great group in here and am looking forward to being a part. thanks! Terry

Hello...
New to this Forum, friend at work told me about this message board. I have lived in the Spokane area for quite a while, and have had quite a few bikes over the years. Currently running around with a 07 Suzuki SV1000S...

Went to the Republic Bike rally recently with some Army friends, was a kick. I hope to maybe take a few days and check out Sturgis this year, but no more Vacation left, probably going to be a No-Go.

See you out there…

Introducing me!
Just moved up here from Texas last fall. I've seen a few of you guys / gals riding highway 7 a few times down by my property outside Eatonville.

I'll be honest...I'm not real big on riding in groups 'cause I'm either too fast for the group or I can't keep up. I prefer to just go as fast as I can and not worry about others. I like riding in groups when we're just cruising through town though.

I do like to socialize w/ other riders though, learn what I can and hear their stories. Always good times meeting new people.

Anyways...I hate Washington politics. I think a huge majority of Washington is slightly insane. I love the scenery and riding, though; met some really cool people during a few of my rides, so not all is lost.

Just got back from MotoGP at Laguna Seca...so I'm extra pumped up about getting some track time in up here before summer is over.

Anyways...take care y'all I'm sure I'll meet more of you as time goes on!

Hi PNW riders, I know and have rode with some of you. I manage the Buells @ Latus. The owner (Mr. Latus) is willing to help promote more Buells on the road & track. For example we sponsor Taylor Knapp & he is doing good in AMA Daytona. We would like to promote Buells & track days. Look me up!

Hi all,

I'm Alan, age is somewhere north of 40. I have been riding something 2 wheeled since my early teens. I'm a little different in that my bike is older than a lot of members here . I dig riding not knowing where I will end up. Looking forward to some get togethers and rides. Here is my bike, 1985 Kawi Eliminator. Made for only 2 years, motor based on the Ninja 900 but smaller carbs and a different cam profile. Doesn't corner like a sport bike but does okay in a straight line. Was in rough shape when I got it but it's slowly getting better.

Hi, I'm Aimee. I was recruited to join by TooWongFoo. I have been riding a 2-wheel pedal bike for some time and thought I needed some more speed so I am moving up to a Ninja EX250. It's been exciting. The hills are a little easier on my Ninja than my carbon fiber Lemond.
