Eugene motorcyclists? Meetup

Hello! I’m new to Eugene and I’ve been riding a loooonnng time and am constantly learning; I am mostly self-taught and have mostly only ridden alone. Looking to see if anyone is looking to ride and practice, twisties to slow riding, all a plus.

Know the best parking lots to practice u-turns, figure 8’s, etc? Want to gather to discuss local rides? Practice skills? Motorcycle maintenance skills & tips? Best repair shops?

I’d appreciate your advice and hope to connect.

My current ride is a 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 400EX ABS.

Rubber-side down! 🏍️ 🤙

I am in the market for a motorcycle and want to learn to ride myself.

Nice! It’s truly the best. I highly recommend! Have you taken a safety course? Not only do you get to drop someone else’s bike while you learn, but you usually get 10% off your insurance too. And you don’t have to take the driving test at the dmv. It’s a real win win win. Then you can begin shopping!

I haven’t yet. My plan was to wait for winter to be over to maximize my chances of decent weather for the course.
