I've ridden 8 out of 10 of your routes between 2-4 times a year (not Mt Baker, not Fed Way to Tacoma). HWY 129 in OR to WA via Grande Ronde River is awesome, a ton of switch backs, fun dropping down to the river and climbing back out. You should add a #11 as most deadly ride, Woodinville to Renton on any Monday morning between 7am and 8am (522 to I-405). I've made that ride 6 times this year, nobody else on a bike, just a sea of cars, trucks, and semi's going between 2 MPH to 75 mph.
Scenic motorcycle rides is the key. Our interstates are ridiculously deadly, especially this year. I got something coming soon on that. Just letting my emotions settle first so I don’t say anything rash.
Curious if stats were available for type of motorcycles involved in these stats. A lot of people ride too fast on Hwy 20. Arguably the most beautiful and twisty road for all motorcycles as well as easily accessible from major populations including Canadians like myself.
I concur with having Chuckanut Drive on the list. There are several curves where you don't realize you've gone too far until you are already there. It's just as deadly for cars as it is for motorcycles. There's also the danger of slides.
I've done the Spirit Lake run a couple of times and have done the Klickitat run numerous times. These trails are fun and safe as long as the rider obeys the speed limits.
Hey brother - do you do meet ups and rides? Im local to you - fairly new to riding,. I’d like to find a group to hit the road with and soak up some experience.
Sometimes. I will be filming one for the riders remembered memorial August 22. It starts at the lucky 13 tavern in Marysville. Kick stands up at 10:30.
Worked as EMT and 20 had pick many motorcyclists on it. 9 out of 10 were Harleys. There is left over sand on the edges and Harleys good on the flat country but not in all the curves. Was white water rescue and had to pull two bikes out of the Methow river, unfortunately 1 person did not make it. I have 3 honda adventure bikes and they good on curves because of tires and set up. Rode 20 a few times going to Blaine as my sailboat is there.
Yes rather easily depending on where you live. All the ones I have reviewed so far except for #9 can be done in a day. The remaining 4 that I am working on this year, are far enough away that I will need two days to film a proper look at them.
