LDS Motorcyclists

[CafeRacer]

Hi, all. This is my first post. I was just curious how many of you ride motorcycles, especially those in the greater Seattle region or Pacific Northwest. In my ward I am one of two people who ride, and the other individual is not a fan of group riding. There are several local motorcycle clubs, but it would be nice to organize some rides with more like-minded/like-valued individuals. I know there are the Temple Riders in Utah, but I haven't heard of anything similar in my area. Would anyone be interested in forming an LDS motorcycle club with me?

an LSD motorcycle club

You might be talking to the wrong crowd...

My husband would love to ride motorcycles with a group. We've just never been able to afford it. He always had a motorcycle as a teenager. When I met him he only owned a motorcycle. We ditched school one day to go riding up by the Bountiful B.

Wingnut- That's what I get for writing from my phone; autocorrect! Besides, I believe those clubs already exist.

I would love to have a motorcycle, but I'm a big chicken. I would first take a class from ACE to learn how to ride one before I would get one.

My father-in-law recently sold his first Harley, about six months after purchasing his second, which is pretty sweet-looking. He lives in the Midwest, though.

I used to commute to work in Bothell WA, but unfortunatley moved to Florida. I know quit a few who ride.

My cousin in Ephrata, WA is a biker. He doesn't get to ride as much as he'd like, since he's busy being a family man.

[CafeRacer]

Well if anyone would be interested in getting together for a ride, PM me or respond here and we'll organize something! Also, let your biker friends and family who may be interested know.

I bought a Harley in 2008 on a dare from my son who also bought one. He lives close and we ride together often. I have another son in Idaho that also rides.

Riding motorcycles is not a very LDS thing in my experience, although I have ridden since I was 18 years old. Other than my two sons I don't know any LDS that ride.

Good luck on finding riding buddies. Here in CA there is the BARF( Bay Area Rider's Forum), an informal group that rides together fairly often. I think there are some people on the forum that live farther north. If you are a Harley rider there are the local HOG chapters of riders all over the country usually getting together near or at a dealer. I've been at a couple of HOG events, and find that in general the members are pretty good people.

No health insurance, no motorcycle :( how I miss my hayabusa.

CafeRacer, my husband and I both ride our own Harley's. We actually own three - a Heritage, Ultra Limited and my own sweet Sportster Superlow We were members of the TRA for awhile, but our local chapter was very small and honestly didn't ever do anything. Because of that, we joined our local HOG chapter - Route 66 in Tulsa and are very active. My husband is the assistant director and I am the 'patch lady' (I sell the chapter patches at the meetings each month - I know you are really impressed!) We do have another Harley rider in our ward and also have a member that rides a Goldwing. His son also rides a Honda Shadow. I wish that we lived closer to you as we would be honored to ride with you. Hope you find some riding 'buddies' there.

Ride safe!!

hey... there are a group of us over across the pond on Bainbridge Island who ride. I am getting a group together to go riding the weekend of June 21st to the Olympic Peninsula. You should join us. russelldds at yahoo.com

I think it's awesome! What a great way to go to the temple. Altho we are both licensed, we do not currently ride. My wife had a Yamaha Virago 920 when we got married. It was sold shortly after our daughter was born. We do hope to have a pair later when the kids are older.

[Carlolorge]

Hey look up the sons of helaman motorcycle club we have Facebook pages. My Facebook name is Carlo Lorge look me up. I'm not sure if there is a chapter in your area.

[SeanBuzzWayment]

sounds fun. would love to ride bike, but one; i don't have one, and two; i'd limit it to offroad and track if I did.

Good luck on getting one together :)

[AngelMarvel]

We ride...but, never went to the Temple on our Hayabusa. We live in Utah and get to ride a lot. We also have dirt bikes.

 

This is my husband and me. Photo is manipulated to get both of us on the bike in the picture. LOL
