New rider

Brand new rider just bought a Kawasaki KLX 300 Thursday, got my permit yesterday I’ve rode the bike about 5 miles in my apartments to get the feel but I’m looking for a possible person to help me prepare for team Oregon class end of next month, I got a riding buddy for Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays (co workers on a different shift but they’re off those days) I work 6 days a week fri- Wednesday Thursday off

Long story short I just need someone that’s patient and licensed to take me out of my small apartment complex

Fun ride up to Multnomah Falls and Vista House!

Started riding last October, finally felt ready this last Saturday to tackle the twists on 30E (Historic Columbia River Highway) out to the falls!

We left around 9am and once we got onto 30 we basically had the whole road up to the falls to ourselves! Perfect opportunity to learn how to zip around those turns.

BMW service?

Looking for a recommendation for a place to get my 2016 BMW r1200rs serviced. Anybody know anywhere besides the dealer? Preferably east side. I asked at the triumph place and they can’t because it needs a special tool I guess.

From Barn to Back on the Road

Purchased this 2007 DR650 with 12k miles for $1200 a few weeks back, it was sitting in a guys barn in Northern Washington. Didn’t run, just needed a little love.

New coil, jets, plugs, stator, pickup, ignition switch, turn signals, plastics, Tusk Waypoint tires, springs, boots, and an OEM exhaust from a wrecked DR650.

She runs great!

It came with an aftermarket seat and it’s horribly uncomfortable, is the seat concepts the best for a big rider? 6’4 275
