Hello from the US Pacific Northwest
« on: January 30, 2023, 05:17:55 PM »
Hi,

I'm new member from Western Washington State.  I've been riding for over 50 years and have owned a large number of motorcycles.  Most of my street bikes have been British or Italian, while the dirt bikes have mostly been Japanese.  I just acquired my second ever Honda street bike, a 1975 CB550F (my previous Honda street bike was a 1989 NT650 Hawk GT).  In addition to the CB550F, I have a 1967 Triumph TR6C, a 1974 Norton 850 Commando Roadster, and a 2016 Triumph Thruxton R.  My wife has a 2020 Royal Enfield INT650.

I'm in Everett.  Are you in the WVM?  They're a great group of people, and monthly meetings are not far from you.

Nope, never heard of that club before. Maybe I'll have to check out a meeting since it's so close.

Show up to a meeting in Mt. Vernon.  Also, the Northwest Motorcycle Classic event in April will be a nice show/swap meet.  The info for both is on the website.
