CafeRacer Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) 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? Edited June 8, 2012 by CafeRacer LSD to LDS :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applepansy Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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.

CafeRacer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wingnut- That's what I get for writing from my phone; autocorrect! Besides, I believe those clubs already exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeRacer Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmarklin Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportstergirl Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 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!!

russelldds Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 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.

miztrniceguy Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 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.

AngelMarvel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 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 Blackmarch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
