I wanna plan a meet-up or ride-out or whatever you wanna call it. Nothing crazy, just a cruise somewhere northwest local. Anybody down?

Im down. Two of three bikes are torn apart at the moment for Winter tinkering/tweaking. Also, all 3 top out at around 40mph currently so that's a factor also. Lets put something together!

I'm ok w slow top speeds. My scooters will hit about 45-50 so I'm not much higher up there. There's point defiance in tacoma, there's a long road that snakes thru the park and has some trails and stop off points w tables and bbqs...
Here it is
Point Defiance Park

5 mile road has lots of little turns and is 25 mph w no cops, so perfect for cruising and quick speed runs. Sometime after xmas would be best cuz of weather I think.

Maybe we could do our own little ferry ride. The peninsula has some sweet scenery. Hoping I can hit 50mph by then.

Ok, so I'm thinkin mercer island way. It goes all the way around the island and seems/looks fun and twisty a Lil bit. I'm gonna investigate and see what it looks like in a couple days. I'll report back and start looking for a good weather day in the forcast.

Ok, got another idea since that one didn't seem to get anybody interested haha. How about starting at golden gardens park in seattle, heading down Seaview ave until it turns into market st, following market St until Greenlake way, circle the lake and have lunch/drinks/smoke break/etc, then head back to golden gardens? I'll try to make a route on Google maps.

Yup, Im in BUT.....I need to get my scoot dialed in. Been working on it here and there since September. Waiting on a few things to arrive in the mail and to find the extra time to tinker. Then theres this whole snow thing in the forecast. Im assuming this is a Spring time frame?
