Anyone In Washington state?

I'm thinking about a ratchet strap system to keep with me when I ride solo, at least up here in the PNW we've got a lot of trees to grap on too. I've dropped mine three times now, had to pick it up once by myself.
I'm in Oregon but ride the Gifford Pinchot a bit, be great to meet up sometime.

Yeah or a eject button so the seat shoots you off the bike right before impact lol yeah I'm doing the wa st bdr this July I'm stoked I've wanted to do it for years we live in a beautiful part of the world for sure

I'm up in a town called stanwood about a hr from the Canadian border west of the cascades aka the wet side

We sure do!!

I live about 10 miles from Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.
I hit more twisties and gravel on my daily commute than most do on Sundays. I love it!!

Nice!! I'm jealous

I’m in Bellingham

I am in Bellingham, I just got my 1090 a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to pick your brain on the bike. It’s blast to ride.

I live down in Buckley.. I'm a member of a Meet Up group " Dual Sport Riding Club Meet up" they organize rides of all kinds, check it out maybe?... I have fallen over a couple times on my 1090 and they are no fun to pick up... Eric

I am not sure if its me or what, but I tried to write you and ended up writing a guy in the Netherlands. So not sure if you are in the Netherlands and not Buckley or there is mix up with your contact information and his. I would love to talk with you about these bikes and see about connecting for a ride sometime.

Two of the upgrades I am looking at are a high fender mount and the upper crash bars. Had the low fender on my GS and around here mud isn’t fun with a low fender. I am looking at the Blackdog skid plate and relocating the side stand. One of my upgrades down the line will be a center stand. But right now I am good without one. Picking up a 500# bike has some challenges..especially if its off camber or on the down hill side of a trail. I appreciate all my years of riding fast so I can be better at riding slow. LOL
