What a weekend! With two rides over two of the passes, I saw Roslyn, Cle Elum Lake, and Leavenworth with lovely weather (aside from some rain in the mountains on Saturday). Feels like #motorcycle season is finally heating up!
Many, many more photos to come soon. #photography #photog #photos #photo

One of the goals I had in mind than pushed me into #motorcycle riding was easier access to Eastern #Washington roads. (I don't have as much time as I used to for doing that by bicycle.) This ride marks my first time doing so, and it was definitely worth it! I was treated to sunny weather and pine trees, which were exactly what I needed after all of the rainy days around #Seattle over the past few months. Really makes me want to move to Eastern Washington!

I had no idea the Tulip Festival was this big here! Not only did we have to try twice because traffic was too terrible the first time, even the crowds early on Sunday were large! It was really nice getting a nice ride in the countryside and seeing all of the tulips at Roozengaarde. #motorcycle

No injuries to me, and My partner was already off the bike. Bike needs a new clutch lever, but the rest of the damage is only cosmetic from what I can tell. Hate how the plastic looks with the scratches.
Today was a long day with all kinds of challenging riding situations, and I fell at the easiest and most familiar time. Sounds like me.

Hopefully #motorcycle riding will settle down for me soon.
Had a great time riding out to the foothills with @clover ! #motorcycle

My paranoia and anxiety worsen as I experience more life.
For example, I used to love #bicycle touring on the open highway, but now I'm too scared that some driver will run me down, intentionally or otherwise. #cycling (Original)
While #motorcycle riding isn't as safe as driving, at least I can get going fast enough to avoid a lot of the situations a bicycle cannot. Plus, a motorcycle has much more road presence than a bicycle. (Original)

Had a lovely ride out along the Olympic Peninsula a few weeks back. Plenty of fast-paced rural highway riding, including keeping up with a guy on a big scooter going 90! #motorcycle

After selling my Suzuki Burgman 400, I put a deposit on a 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. Since it was all the way in Lacey, my partner drove us down I-5 there and we spent the light so we could pick it up in the morning. She followed me back up the Kitsap Peninsula to Bremerton, a route I chose to avoid traffic around Tacoma and Kent/Auburn, which ended up taking far longer than either of us expected. I missed the turn for SR-3 in Shelton, so we ended up crossing over to the west side of the peninsula before heading towards Bremerton, and the ferry had a nearly two hour wait! #motorcycle

False Spring was very kind to us. I had a great ride to Elbe and back and saw all kinds of people on motorcycles! #motorcycle
