I grew up in Yakima, moved to Seattle. I have some really good friends over here that I want to take to my home town and show them around. I can't really think of a lot of the good stuff there is to do there... I was thinking like wine tasting, a bears game, a tour of the slummy neighborhoods to look at the gang members hanging out outside, get some good mexican food and a giant ice cream cone at Ron's Taco Burger (who is Ron anyway, seems like he owns a lot of stuff there). What else should I take them to do?

zx6r · 05-30-2007, 08:31 AM

I am pretty sure you named anything and everything cool to do in Yakima in your original post. Maybe drive Canyon Rd? Go Rattlesnake hunting? Wait a month and pick your own cherries? I'm headed there tomorrow, I'll keep my eyes peeled for fun stuff, but it doesn't look promising.

Hmm... actually rattlesnake hunting might be kinda fun. I was also thinking about fishing at trout meadows... I don't remember how to get there though. Oh, and golf at Fischer 'cause it's cheap and fun.

seattlesucks · 05-30-2007, 08:36 AM

Oooh... I could take them ice blocking over at Franklin...

R6Limited · 05-30-2007, 08:58 AM

Its funny that even the people who grew up in Yakima can't come up with good shit to do there. My Ex is from Yakima. Santiago's has good food and golfing at Appletree is nice too. Riding up over Chinook Pass is awesome too.

There's a trick to living in Yakima... Have a lot of toys. Bikes, boats, dirtbikes, guns, video games... The whole point of living in Yakima is that you live by places where you can go have fun. When you're going to visit Yakima, it doesn't make a lot of sense to leave Yakima to have fun, so that's my challenge.

Gnu · 05-30-2007, 10:35 AM

If it wasn't that I have family in Yakima, I would never go there. That place is a hole.

xtra_daniel · 05-30-2007, 10:35 AM

The army has a huge firing range in Yakima

the chemist · 05-30-2007, 11:09 AM

casino? can't really think of anything else...at least you guys have some stuff to do. ellensburg sucks even more

GelStra · 05-30-2007, 11:58 AM

For some reason I'm reminded of the time the Stanford marching band (known for their hijinks) was playing UCSD. The theme for their halftime program was "Things to do in San Diego."
The band spelled out "Zoo......um, zoo."
Don't ask me why I thought of that with a thread title of "Things to do in Yakima", especially when it seems like a short paragraph pretty much covered it!

r6on1 · 07-12-2007, 08:48 AM

You are usually about an hour away from all kinds of stuff. Hunting, fishing, camping, boatingridin street/dirt. etc. there is actually a lot of shit to do around here, there just isn't much to do in the city like there is in bigger cities. I don't think that it's that bad to live here.

Ninja05Girl636 · 07-14-2007, 04:41 PM

NOTHING!!

LOL j/k there's a few things you can do here. I usually like to do bon fires at my place after rides, go to this mini ghetto lake behind shari's, and go bowling, just chill... hold movie marathons!

simon954 · 07-16-2007, 11:47 AM

wow i am glad i moved down here. So glad i left my bikes in spokane.

I was just gonna say, you can party with Ninja05Girl

We went out to Yak after Ozzfest and camped out with Tina in the back yard. YOU ROCK girly! Was fun, 13 or 14 riders came by at around 11pm to say hello.

I'm horrible w/names and screennames and I was pretty drunk, so I dont remember who. But they were all pretty cool!

OOH! OOH! I WAS THERE, I WAS THERE! I'm the one with the loud ass bike with sweet smelling exhaust! Yep that's me!

Burnrubber1 · 07-16-2007, 07:23 PM

Float the river in the canyon. You could always come to my house drink an 18 pack or two while we totally take your bike apart and then put it back together again to see if we get it right.

Float the river in the canyon! Go to Legends Casino and hope you leave with enuff money to get back home. Did I mention float the river in the canyon?

I don't outcast anyone.

r6on1 · 07-16-2007, 09:35 PM

How many guys you got rollin in 509 riders? You guys do any stuntin at all?

Burnrubber1 · 07-16-2007, 10:09 PM

Ahem! Hear ye, hear ye! 509 Rydas are a group of riders that just like to go out and ride as a group. We aren't stunters. We aren't a bunch of speed demons. In fact, anything involving breaking the law doesn't pertain to what we are about. We are about friendship. Unity. Being there for eachother. Helping eachother out. On any given occasion we can all unite to represent, not just the local area, but the whole idealism of being motorcycle enthusiasts!
Anyone is welcome! If you're a stunter, that is fine. We'd probably prefer that you did it elsewhere, on your own. We want to be a group that will keep in good standing with the general public...and the law!
A few of us do like to go to the Renegade to let it all out! To be honest, it's actually funner than letting it all out on the public roads. We would like to get as many people as we can to run with us out at the track. Seems to me it would be more fun.
Friendship and unity are probably the biggest aspects of being a 509 Ryda. If a rider has something going on and needs help from some of the guys, we'll be on it. If a bike needs fixing or modding. We have guys for that. If someone has a big BBQ planned, they'll invite the crew to make a more memorable event out of it.
I hope anyone gets the idea of what 509 Rydas is about. Feel free to post up or PM a member and we'll take it from there.

r6on1 · 07-16-2007, 11:57 PM

That's cool. I'm down with that, i just think that people have the wrong idea of what RCW is about. We aren't just a group of riders that goes out and wheelies everywhere we go. Next time you see a guys boost a wheelie up in town, there is a high chance that it ain't one of us, and that's the truth. We are tryin to keep a good rep, not just for us but for everyone. If you haven't noticed lately, there are a lot of people buyin new bikes, and they all seem to think that they are good riders. those are the guys"paper platers" given everyone on a streetbike bad names. We as a crew have talked and we don't stunt in town when we are together and discourage anyone that does. we try to keep it out and away from people, besides, if i want to go do a wheelie with no traffic on the highway, who am i really hurting? as long as there is respect there, it isn't an issue. I do respect that if you don't want to stunt. It's your descision. We all are capable of having a nice easy ride, and there are many times that it does happen, no wheelies, no railing, just kickin back. Just want to put it out there so that not everybody thinks that we are a bunch of morons makin ya look bad. We are a good group of riders and i know that we have a name that a lot of people know, but hey, it's kinda nice gettin the recognition. We should get together for a group ride sometime, 509 and RCW. I can't speak for everyone, and there are no guarantees that no one will do wheelies, but if you really have a problem with it, we can manage to have a good ride without stuntin, most of our guys are pretty laid back, and they aren't going to cause anybody to be in danger or any shit like that, it's just about hangin out with people that enjoy the same thing, BIKES!!!

well, you may not... but, im sure others will... but thats their thing... You cant say i didnt try to talk to you either...

Lol, to bad things cant go back to how they used to be... Seems so Far away... But thats life.

07Black_Busa · 07-17-2007, 01:34 AM

I think a group ride would be good. The more the positive image we can set the better for all off us. I hate getting bad rep from the general public because of squid riders on new bikes. Maybe we all could meet up for the cruise at the end of the month.

Very well put chief.

One great thing we have is respect for eachother. Be it you are a stunter, track racer, drag racer, or just a city cruiser. We respect every aspect of riding. There is just a time and a place for each.

We leave no rider behind.

r6on1 · 07-17-2007, 07:41 AM

Yeah, and just for the record, it's not like you have to be able to stunt to be a member of RCW, there are a lot of guys that don't do any stuntin, they just like to watch us do our thing.

Yeah it's true some of us don't really stunt... but I am re gearing my bike to pop them up at slower speeds (just got my new sproket from Lance yesterday)! But yeah we don't do that shit in town, thats just stupid. And Craig I don't really think the paper ridrs are much of an issue anymore LOL a very larg number have dumped those brand new bikes already this year!! hahahahaha
Oh and actually most of our rides dont have to much stunting or hangin corners unless we are going to the hill.
