Washington riders?

Where are the riders and clubs in washington state???

I'm in Washington, specifically Redmond Sammamish area. I'm currently a non-R1 owner but have a 2000 VFR if I can get my Wife:boobies I would have a Silver and Black 02 in my garage. Oh the pain.:cryin

I'm over in Mukilteo. Currently riding a '93 900RR, but my blue 02 R1 is in and I expect to have it this weekend. A buddy of mine got his silver one last tuesday and we'll be wanting to get them broken in ASAP.

I picked my new Red/Black R1 up on Wed. Was able to put 25 miles on it before putting it away, now if only the Damn rain woudl stop:cryin Let me know when you want to ride, I'm almost always willing, besides it would be very cool to have all 3 colors going down the street. Michael@levenson.org

Picked up my blue baby on friday. Was only able to put 71 miles on it this weekend, all on sunday. I can't believe the torque and power this bike has. I can't wait till she's broken in. :D

I was only able to put on about 20 miles Sunday just to damn cold. If the weather holds for this weekend I'm planning on some riding. If you are interested let me know. I'm either going to head south or north. I'm just couting the days for Windy ridge to open up so I can see just how much better this bike really is compared to my VFR. I loved that road on my VFR and I'm sure I will have orgasms all day long on my NEW R1 as I kick my buddies ass on his 929.:rock :rock

I live in mountlake terrace and ride a 97 yzf 600R I am supposed to be riding a 02 liquid silver but lynnwood yamaha screwed me over on my trade in so now I have to wait but I am looking to find people to ride with if the rain and snow ever goes away. Shoot me an email. Oh yeah and check out www.yzfrider.com Great free email still kind of unknown so there is a ton of email addressess available. check it out.

How'd you get screwed by Lynnwood? And how much did they want for the bike cause I bought mine from there. Send me a private email to discuss. You should maybe talk to University Yamaha.

hey R1 Everyday shoot me a email I talked to they guy who sold me my R1 and he currently has 3 silver's ready. When these are gone, the next shipment will be in June.

If the weather is good,, anyone up for riding and putting some miles on there bikes?:rock

Depending on the weather I'm up for putting on some miles. We'll just have to see how it goes.

damn yall.. I'm all the way down in damn Yelm... but was at lynwood motoplex last week and don't they got EVERYTHING??? shit they got full akro systems just hanging everywhere!!

Well I got to get out and put some more miles on today. currently sitting at 164.7. :rock Plus I have to put fuel in it when I ride again. :beer . Went down to Auburn to ride Flaming Geiyser road. I like that since it's close and give you the ability to scrub the sides a little. road was nice and dry with no sand. Just had to deal with a cage or 3. Spent most of the time riding in 4th gear to keep the rpms down and speed up. All I can say is Damn this bike is FUN:rock

I put a few more miles on today. I was so tempted to leave work early and put on some serious miles but I didn't. If it's nice tomorrow I'm gonna just do it. Can you send a map or post a link to the road you are talking about down in Auburn?

There is a lot of talk about getting a group ride started here in the Seattle area but not a whole lot of action. I live in Mount Lake Terrace (what's up R1 Everyday?) I propose that those of you who are members of the R1 Forum and who live in the Seattle area should form an e-mail list. By sending me an e-mail letting me know that you are interested, I would be willing to coordinate a ride with the help of your input and hopefully get a club, gang, or whatever the hell we'd be together. From the sound of things, Darkside, R1 Everyday, 2002yzf_r1, and myself all live close enough to each other to get the madness rolling, and If Mademan wanted to make a road trip, I'm sure there would be room for him as well. Also if you want to include any riding buddies, the more the merrier. My E-mail is Shaft3rd@yahoo.com (the plague of I-5) If/when you write, include ride suggestions and days in your schedule that would work for you. P.S. As for Lynwood Motoplex, don't get me started... :iamwithst

It was cool to pop on here and immediately meet Washington riders itchin' to ride, most not more than a few miles from my home. I'm just off 128th/I-5, called Bothell, but Lynnwood far as I'm concerned. I'm temp working on the other side of the state (Moses Lake) and picked up my new 2001 R1 couple days ago. Cold weather here is keeping me from riding, yesterday we were still getting snow. 3-4 more weeks left on the present job, and I'm starting an extented vacation back at home, and I'll be up for some riding (breakin is bogus :o). I'm counting on this shitty weather to clear up by then, I'm way ready for spring/summer. Anyone wants to hang out on the asphalt, shoot me an email. peace, erik

Hey that works for me Rated R. I can even do a email list as I have majordomo running and that way we can stay away from yahoo. Hell I even can setup a web site. This shit you do when you are a unemployed IT guy. BTW anyone free for a ride today?

Looks like we'll be leaving work early today to take a little ride.:thumbup I'll post later when we take off.

Being a forum whore!!!! Not sure how late I can play as other half want's to go out. Let me know what yoru plans are.

I got stuff in the mail from Univeristy Yamaha in downtown Seattle and Lynnwood Motoplex. Both are having free food and prizes all day this Saturday 3/23 from 9-5pm. Hopefully people will bring their R1's. Should be fun.

Rated R I sent you an email. I will be at seattle cycle center at 11am for some work and should be available for a ride or hanging out after that everyone meet there if you want. I am easy to find I am 6'7" 290 lbs:hellobye

OK my Sat. is shot who is up for some riding on Sunday. Open for any were. Been out the last 2 days and I only have 340 or so miles left before my 600 service.:rock

Looks like the gang is growing I have recieved e-mails for 2002yzf_r1, Darkside, and apparently R1 Everyday tried to send me an e-mail (please try again). This Saturday I am going to head down to Seattle Cycle Center and try to hook up with R1 Everyday. 2002yzf_r1 and Darkside have expressed interest in setting up a local R1 web page to post our availability and planned rides. In response to their desire, I am going to send each an e-mail and everyones e-mail addresses who have expressed interest and get a page up and running as soon as possible. Hopefully we will be able to make concrete plans by the middle of this coming week for a future ride, weather permitting. If it is not raining/snowing Saturday, and you are available, I suggest meeting at Seattle Cycle at 11:00 and we can work out the details in person... I'll be wearing a baseball cap which has the word TOOTH across the front. Hope to see you there. P.S. Holly Lord, 6'7" R1 Everyday? Is it legal to ride a sport bike when your that big? :p

I won't be able to hook up on saturday. Wife is taking 2 of the kids and I'll have the other 2 for the day. Perhaps a sunday afternoon weather/family permitting ride?

Lets just say its funny at my size there is only one sportbike I look right on and they only let them in the country one year. The 1998 yamaha YZF 1000 Thunderace. I am currently looking for one to replace the R1 Lynnwood screwed me over on. See you all on saturday:machinegu :jump

Ok, if we are going to form a group/gang/club/heard/school, any ideas on what to call it?:eek:

Ok, here is the deal we are going to meet at the StarBucks at Denny and 7th in Seattle at 9:00am. From there we are going north to catch the 10:10am Edmonds Ferry to Kingston. Route from there is going to be off the cuff as I'm not familiar with that side of the water very much. Anyone what to Ride, you can meet us at 1 of 3 places. The Starbucks, the Edmonds Ferry, or the Kingston Terminal. We have not destination in mind other than miles on the road. We will be on two very darkside motorcycles. I will be in a yellow Aria Helmet and Yellow/black Jacket. Paul C will be on a yellow/black 929 with a yellow Shoie and blue/black jacket. You can call us at these numbers if you want to hook up. Cell phones Mike Levenson 206-669-3694 There will be bikes other than R1 so if you mind then.....

Sounds like a great ride, but I won't be able to make it tomorrow in the morning. Will probly take a short ride tomorrow afternoon. I'm a church going guy and won't be available to ride until later in the day. Keep the rubber side down!

I got the chance to hang out with R1 Everyday, turns out we had actually met previously, but didn't realize it until we got to the shop and saw each other, because of the crazy pseudonyms we use to identify ourselves on the forum. That was cool. Looks like things are going well toward setting up a web page dedicated to coordinating Seattle riders, Darkside has set up a list server for our use, if the test goes well he or I will disseminate signup info. :rock Anyone still interested in being a part of the group shoot me an email.(Shaft3rd@yahoo.com) Sorry Darkside wish I could ride with you Sunday but it doesn't look like it will happen for me, girl friend obligations and such (in the background you hear the sound of the whip, Whappa!):crash

Yes I must say what a small world. I am hoping that we can all hook up for a solid ride next weekend now that my bike is ready to go.Maybe we can all meet up downtown one evening this week after work or something. Maybe even take over the meca or the 5 point. Let me know.:beer

Leave it to Seattle weather to screw up a riding day:machinegu :bs OK the email server is up and running. here is the information to join. I will be setting up a webpage to help in the subscription process. send a email to Majordomo@franciscio.net in the body put; Subscribe Seattle-R1 (email address) If you have questions or need help please feel free to email me at Michael@levenson.org

Hey Darkside I tried to subscribe to the email and it sent back a response of go to hell in computer lingo. any idea why I got back an automated response saying that I could not be added. Let me know you can get ahold of me at adam@yzfrider.com :machinegu

I added you manually. If you still have the message and can email it to me I might be able to see what went wrong. Mike. BTW 325 miles total 275 left till 600 mile check up. Going to try and get that in the next 2 days if the weather is decent.

No I deleted it by mistake but thank you for adding me manually I have been getting the post. I cant wait till we can all get together and hang out. We should try to meet up this week after work.How many of us work Downtown. I do:jump

I work downtown in the AT&T Media services blding at the bottom of Queen Anne 2 blocks from Larry's and Seattle Center on Mercer.

I am in the Second and Seneca building downtown:hellobye
