Open Roads
just wondering, with all of that space up there, if you guys have alot of good, straight, open road that you can just open the ol 6 up on, and forget it,,, no cops, no traffic, out in the middle of nowhere,, i'm from central illinois, kinda tough to find that......i'm sure you guys have some nice spots?

if you're addressing WA, then we have a mixture... east of the mts and its all flats and straight. no civilians for miles over there; good for practicing wheelies i guess. west of the mts. is city life, with very few straight flat terrain. not too many good twisties up here either, you have to really drive a distance to get to a few.

For me, I only had to give up the bike for a rainy/cold stretch that lasted a couple weeks in December. I have been riding for 12 of the last 12 months. It's wet a lot, but there are many other places in the country where you cannot add up as many miles on the bike.

I disagree...I live in eugene and its MAYBE 5 months out of the year...its been snowing and freezing...so that makes it a bit rough to ride...and I don't ride in the rain either, I will get hurt
