Anyone in WA State?? Northwest
I am in Lake Stevens / Everett area. Only get down your way on my way to California.
located in Everett WA. New at motorcycling street wise.. still reading up on group riding.
Bluehaze, once the bike gets out of the shop we'll have to see if we can get together and ride.
Most definitley.. like i said i am new... still learning the curves..so if you dont take the turns at 60 miles an hour..i think i can keep up. :cheers:
Funny how these rides in WA get planned and nothing ever happens. I planned so many of these over the years and people never show up. I finally gave up on planning rides and just hit the road. Hope this one works out for you...I'm in the Kent area so let me know if you come this way and I should be able to hook for a ride.
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
No new posts on this one. I guess it was flushed in the crapper just like all the other rides. Oh well...if anyone decides to plan something send me a PM or something.

I get the bike back out of the shop this Friday, so I am up for getting together with other locals. Even as soon as this weekend as Sunday is definitely open for me.
I'm in Oregon (Salem) so if you guys are headed south ever drop me a line. I'm an hour south of Portland
Hey guys.. you should actually check out www.pnwriders.com theres more people there posting ride times to get together. Thought its more of all types of motorcycle aside from gs 500f. Thought i would share it with you all. My bike is in the shop getting rejet and exhaust put in. They got people actually rating roads in the NW. While its getting less days for sunshine riding i was hoping we could set up a time for a sunday ride on HWY 112. Its over at the peninsula and you have to take edmonds fairy over. I am open for Sept 21st. If any of you are interested. It will be my first ride with a group probably if i dont get together with the pnwriders before then. If you interested PM and see what we can do.

This sunday i will be be doing a ride to Winthrop going north on I5 then taking highway 20.. or taking route to darington then north. It looks like an all day thing..if you interested pm me. winter is coming..not much more of these type of ride. oh and this is a first for me so dont expect speed.
New to the GStwin group. Located in Bothell, Washington. I'll watch the group for ride announcements. E-me if you want to put something together.
I was out dragging parts with a buddy on Eliott and High Bridge roads north of Woodinville today. Great little ride.
Yeah highbridge road is nice. I use it to practice getting used to curves. I like being there between 630pm and 730pm.. no traffic. Hate having to wait for a car. ruins the fun.
I may be able to make the ride on the 21st. We are doing the Puyallup one day this weekend, just not sure which day. I will check with the wife tonight and post tomorrow. But yeah, we 3-4 GS guys in the area, we should get together for a ride before the weather turns.
NEAH BAY on Sunday 21st. PM me or post here if you want to come. Lets ride all you GS500 represent.. enough of these gixxers running around here. Will post meet up time and route later in the week.
I am still hell bent on doing neah bay before winter. here is the route
this sunday. oct. 5th.

so much for neah bay. i am going to mt. st helen instead.
I'm a lynnwood area guy myself, I'm not really up for long rides usually (I commute 80 miles a day on usually on the bike unless I'm too lazy/cold) But I'd love to meet up with some other GS owners, even if it's just to hang out and chat or ride something localish (not to much arround here that I know of but 196th street headed towards edmonds has a fun set of downhill curves on it). I'm new but gaining experience fast, bought my GS in march with 3000 miles on it, now it's got 10,000 and it's just about time for a new rear tire.
Hello I just got a 93 GS500E for free. It needs som TLC nothing major. I am just west of you guys on Whidbey Island. Maybe next year we could meet at Oyster run.
I think I'm the first from Olympia... :woohoo: So where's all the West Coast GSTWINS. We're totally out numbered by the members on the east coast. I say we go over there and give them a little :2guns: and take over!
Bluehaze or anyone else in the WA area...you going to the PNWRiders East meets West at Lake Chelan in May? Here is a link for anyone interested.

I might try...it depends on if my GS is put back together by then and if I have new riding gear. It sounds like a lot of fun....I will keep everyone posted so we might be able to set up a ride together if anyone is interested.

Thought this post was about Western Australia - where I'm gouing my holidays in June - too many WA's in the world!
Anyway, how do some folk get bikes for free???!!!
Bothell area here. Like Darkmyst, I'm a daytripper up for rides of a couple of hours. Some cool things to do would be:
- Deception Pass
- Snoqualmie Pass
- Mountain Loop Highway to Barlow Pass
- Port Townsend
- La Conner / Anacortes / Guemes Island
These are all rides I think we could do in a relaxed day (lots of stops, a couple of hours of riding).
I'm itching to ride and I'm out on any dry day at 50 degrees or above. I'd like to put together a group ride as the weather improves. Every rider would receive a map. Stay-together or regroup would be a decision we could make on ride day.
Hit me up if you're interested.
Bluehaze suggested a northern Olympics loop that sounds excellent. If you haven't ridden the stretch of 101 along Crescent Lake, you've missed a great set of curves. I just hope the state has done some work on that pavement.
CALLING OUT TO ALL seattle riders. Suzuki Stevo and I and another person is taking the GS for a long spin on Sunday. Anyone want to join? PM me. Stevo will have the route. i am just inviting more GSers . Come on out man its going to be awesome to have a group of GS riding down the road.
I am in North Bend. This weekend I hope to get my bike back together after doing the top end rebuild. After a short break-in period, I should be good for a ride.
I'm in Seattle... Beacon Hill.
I tried to get rides together too... One worked. HA HA HA. GSTwins in Seattle seems to be a no-group-ride-zone. I don't know why... :dunno_black:
pnwriders has tons of group rides, but watch out for the hooligans... When the cops see one moto doing something wrong, they sometimes ticket everyone in the group. That's why I ride mostly by myself... 'cause I don't want other people getting tickets. :D
RVertigo.... was that the ride like two years ago?
Just wanted to give an update that I got my bike back together last weekend and I am up for a ride.

You all want to try for a ride this Saturday? I have never been on a group ride, and don't yet know any of the good routes, but I am free. Weatherman says we may see some rain, but does not look like much and it will be high 60's.
Otherwise, I am planning on riding up to Bellingham tomorrow for a bike night if anyone wants to come along.
Unfortunatelly, I'll be out on vaccation during the weekend.
Wow... I would go on the ride with you but I'm going to do a benefit ride with two of the guys from Time Bandit from the Deadliest Catch show. If I was available I would most definitely go on a ride with you. I'm always open to burn some gas on the GS.
