With the memories of snow and cold in the mountains, I decided to ride up Whidbey Island instead. This also gave me the opportunity to check out the part of Deception Pass State Park that I'd missed during the wedding, as well as Kayak Point Regional Park.

(I've been riding nearly every weekend in March, but I've been spending time refining my photo editing skills. These are some of the earliest photos from my practice.)

Your first bike should be an electric motorcycle. Here's why
If you're thinking of getting your motorcycle or just learning to ride, let's see why an electric motorcycle is the better choice for you.Micah Toll (Electrek.co)

Which model is it? I've had my eye on the Ninja 650 lately as a potential second bike. They look pretty comfortable.

My second attempt to visit Mineral went significantly better, though it was super quiet since it's mostly geared towards folks enjoying the adjacent lake. (Mineral II (2023-02-11), Album (35 photos), 12 photos attached) #photography #photog #photos #photo #motorcycle
And on the way back, I was passed by a huge pack of sportbike riders who had zero chill.

I wanted to finally check out the town of Mineral in Lewis County, and the roads seemed fine everywhere, but they ended up getting snowier the further up in elevation I went. By the time I hit the last road to get to the town, it was covered in slush and I went down maybe 100 feet after turning onto said road.

A local helped me get the bike up on the slick surface and I headed straight home after. Mineral will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit.

Finally got the chance to take this out on a proper ride, but only after getting a crash course in how to start a high-strung engine. Just like a bike with a carburetor, you have to take care with the choke and idle setting, through it's all electronic.
The bike was a lot of fun to ride! It was super light like a bicycle, and the smaller engine was really easy to work with after a few minutes.

I'd been on the lookout for a #Honda CRF450RL for a few weeks, and when I saw this used one that came with all kinds of mods and accessories for not much more than a new one despite only having 600 miles, I put a deposit on it. The next week, I rode my Bonneville down to Olympia to see it in person before outright buying it.
A few days later, my dad and I drove down in his SUV so we could bring it back on the car's rear rack, since the weather was going to be nasty for the foreseeable future. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) #motorcycle #photography #photog #photos #photo

TIL, I guess. I guess I’ve been attracted to the adv side of the spectrum. What do you dig about the duals?
I've test ridden a couple of enduro style bikes, really don't know what the fuss is all about.
