Just moved to Seattle, looking for some good shops etc
« on: October 18, 2013, 06:53:12 PM »
Just moved here from FL, did a little searching on the net and couldn't really find any motorcycle shops in the area. Anyone know of any around here? Also, are there any local rides/meet ups? Left all my riding brothers down south, wouldn't mind cruising around with some locals to get to know the area a little better.

Thanks guys! I went down to twinline a couple weeks ago and talked to a guy there. Seems like a cool little shop. I haven't ridden a whole lot but I've made some trips to work in Issaquah and putted around downtown a few times with the wife. I don't mind the cold too much right now, we'll see when we get a little farther into the winter though!

Rode to work this morning, 34 here and about 32 in Issaquah, was a nice ride but I probably won't ride if it's much colder than that  ;D
