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! 🏍️ 🤙

Btw, are you able to do the work yourself? They cost as little as $60 on eBay. But I get that’s risky. There are good sellers there though. Sending you good fortune!
