Puget Sound, sound off!
I'm seeing a whole lot of members on here around Seattle in one way or another, but no meet ups or anything. Might almost be December but I was out riding today and I saw at least 5 other Harleys so I know you're out there.
I'm pretty close to Emerald City Harley.
This section is pretty far down and a bit dead, but I figure only thing needed to change that is to start posting and maybe subscribe to keep updated.
Get some chatter, get some people, get some rides and meet ups going.

Welcome!
I figure if nothing else we can plan rides in such a way that picks up groups as we go. That way someone isn't always having to travel for an hour just to reach the meet up.
And for the record, even though this is a Harley forum, I like to keep all bikes welcome, as well as rider skill level or what not. Only thing I don't like is the riding mentalities that lead to accidents, but that's got nothing to do with the bike.

Greetings from Shoreline, down the road from Emerald City HD. I'd be up for some group rides as long as everyone has some basic riding skills and rides within their limits. I've been riding solo for the last few years, as my former riding buddies drifted off to other interests and their bikes are now garage queens. My annual mileage has drifted lower the last few years and I'd like that to change.

Welcome!
I mostly ride solo myself but group rides are good to get to know people and find new places. Shouldn't have too much trouble with this crowd with anyone riding in over their head, least I hope, ha. I've mostly only done smaller groups, large ones aren't bad but the ride starts to change with too many people. Parking for 6 is a lot easier than 60, not to mention lunch.
I'd like to get something going in this section... this is only the 60th topic, by far the least out of all the sections. And we have a year round season. Probably won't be much for a couple months but I figured if we could get some interest going now the rides that get posted won't fall between the cracks because no one is ever here.
Subscribing tends to help, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that for a whole section. So I figured a master topic that people could subscribe to and others could mention and post a link to their rides could be helpful.

I will toss my hat in the ring (so to speak).
As my signature states, I am in the Everett area.
I ride with a buddy or two fairly regular (weather permitting) he is not a fan of rain.
Also ride solo quite a bit.
It depends on the bike at the time, my new bike has only seen light rain.
Maybe by next year the newness will have worn off (normally I ride as long as it is above freezing, not this year).
Last year four of us from work took a four day ride over to HWY 12 (Lolo pass) in Montana (scenic route there and back).
Had a blast.
Every year I try to do at least one long trip 10-14 days.
As far as dealer locations, I am between Lynnwood & Marysville.
