    Weekday mornings have been the calmest in my experience. I still plan the route with a fuel buffer and assume shaded sections may be damp.

  2. Thread Track-day insurance: what questions should I ask? · 1w ago

    Not looking for a specific insurer recommendation. What wording or exclusions should a first-timer clarify before assuming a normal motorcycle policy covers a non-competitive riding school?

  3. Reply How strict are you about tire date codes? · 1w ago

    I follow the tire maker's published guidance rather than a universal internet number. Inspection gets more frequent as they age.

  4. Thread Back of the Dragon first visit · 1w ago

    For a respectful first ride through the area, what weekday timing and rest stops make the route enjoyable without wearing out a newer rider?

  5. Reply Columbia Gorge route with fewer freeway miles · 2w ago

    Check the state road and forest-service notices the same morning. Seasonal damage and temporary work can make last month's route advice obsolete.

  6. Reply A small riding habit that made you smoother · Jun 21, 2026

    I say 'eyes up' at every slow intersection. It fixed more wobble than thinking about the bars ever did.
