Portland motorcycle riders? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've got a Triumph Tiger 800 and a Honda VFR800A Interceptor in the garage. The VFR is for sale in case anyone is looking for a bike (hint, hint). I'm a pretty tame rider though. Spent a month in the hospital in 2005 because I was careless, would rather not repeat that experience.

I just sold my R1, but still have the Shadow as DD.

I get Facebook invites to local MC group rides around Seattle, I can let you know next time if you're interested.

I picked up the Honda Grom 125cc last year. Met another guy on a grom forum who introduced me to Tuesday Night Coffee at Ava Roasteria in Beaverton last night, which was awesome. Parking lot was even coned off for the riders. Hella cold at 36 degrees but I was layered up so it wasn't unbearable. Can't wait for summer!

I usually go to TNC during the summer, but I'm waaay too much of a wuss to go out when it's this cold.

How many bikes usually show up during the winter? At the peak of summer the whole lot gets filled up and then some.

Convince my pockets they are deep enough for a Ducati Monster 796.

This week had about 20 or so riders. A cruiser, dual-sports, bunch of sport bikes, bunch of ducs, a nice triumph, 2 groms, and a vespa. I plan on making it out whenever I can, just don't have the cojones to do it weekly like all the other seasoned riders that are there weeklyin the cold. At least there are heaters while sipping your coffee/tea.

And there was a sick Honda Hawk/Duc concoction owned by a gal too!

Yup! My bikes are winterized right now but they usually come out in early april. Got my 08 r6 and just picked up the new 636 last year. Should be a good season this year.

DarrenDriven · 01-24-2014, 09:49 AM

Nice! We'll have to put together an 86er ride.

ae86andkp61 · 02-01-2014, 01:27 AM

Did someone mention dual sports? Here's mine:

It is a '97 DR350SE I just picked up recently to get back into the sport after a nearly 20-year hiatus!

Once I get a bit of practice under my belt I will be out exploring the remote backroads, paved, gravel, and dirt.

I love the Tiger 800's, that might be my next Triumph if I can stop spending money on my BRZ

What color is the VFR? I've always wanted a RWB model, but they are hard to find.

Oh and here's a few of my past bikes. The Speed Triple was my favorite, wish I'd never sold it. I need to find another bike soon! Riding weather is here...
