What we’re about
This is a co-ed meet up group for all motorcycle riders in the Seattle area - started as a forum and remains so. It is not a club and it is not "owned". Be an event organizer, assistant, lead or follow.
All types of bikes and bikers welcome - female, male, straight, gay, purple, new bikers, old bikers. So please be tolerant of different lifestyles, we don't discriminate. All rides posted should be co-ed and straight and gay friendly.
Every member is welcome to post - so email in with ride suggestions or where to meet up, ask questions about bikes and routes, make friends, have fun. There aren't many rules on here, just use common sense when emailing. If you don't like a lot of emails, set your preferences to daily digest.
Feel free to join our Facebook group for more active discussions on rides and all things motorcycles.
