Located in the beautiful Banana Belt of Roseburg Oregon, only a short hope to Creswell.
Ride an 03 Green B12s with hole shot pipe, stage one, fender bob, Dales great flush mount turn signals.
Wife rides on the back with her expensive corbin seat and back rest.
Trying to get her to let me buy an SV 650 (ulterior motive) but she prefers to be a passenger and enjoy the ride.
Will making a number of trips this year, really need to get up north to ride with our northern brothers and sisters.
-
I'm in the Puyallup/Tacoma area of Wash., home of uncontrolled subdivisions and urban sprawl. Luckily, I only need to motor about 70 miles south to get to good riding areas. I have a '97 B6 but with a daughter born 10 mo ago riding time has been reduced. I still get out to my favorite areas, mainly St Helens and Chinook pass over to Yakima wine country (I can fit 6 bottles in my tail pack). I should have a little more time this spring/summer so keep up the posts if anyone has good ride plans.
-
I live in Edmonds, just north of Seattle, just south of Everett. I've got a 26 year old SR-500, a 20 year old BMW car, a 15 year old yellow dog, and my 2001 b12s in Stunning Shimmering Silver :banana: :banana: :monkeymoon: :banana: :banana: !!!
beautiful Candy Velvety Maroon
:stickpoke: Whatzattabout :duh: it's red. maybe with a bit of metalic but red. You know, the loooong slooow waves. Whattaya "beautiful Candy Velvety Maroon 01", nope - it's red01 right?
Tell ya what, if we organize a cruise down Broadway we actually might do better if we pass the bikes off as "Stunning Shimmering Silver" and "beautiful Candy Velvety Maroon 01", otherwise it's silver & red. Nice try though!
Oh yeah, and sometimes I get out for a ride w/ red01 here :beers: .
Steve
Yeah I can just hear the dialogue at Ma & Pa's Fill 'em Up & Go now, "lookie Ma weez got us one a dem red soozooky scooters at the pumps rite naw". "Pa yew simple jackass, can chew see that is a beautiful Candy Velvety Maroon scooter if ewe ever seen one, dumass" :lol:
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's red... but it's beautiful. Suzuki's the one that gave it the name Candy Velvety Maroon... not me. :monkeymoon:

Mukilteo, WA is home. Redmond, WA is where I go for work, but, lately I've been traveling a lot––Too much actualy.
My ride is a 2K2 Bandit 600S in Candy Antares Red, with a lot of bells and baubles

Steve, when you see the ass end of a silver bike as much as Paul does, you have to make up fancy, uppity names for your bike to make you feel better.
Anyway, I ride an '02 B12S in silver. I live about 10 miles from Paul.
-
Yo, I got a 03 B12s, been reading Bandit Alley for awhile but just started checking it out more. Any rides in the near future Id be up for. The bandit is a great "naked" bike. I love the torque and HP, burns the shi* out of harleys, BMW and the snooty like....
-
is me Travis .. aka The Batdad just here in arlington working on getting everything done... work is eating alot of my free time.. so who knows when ill be done.. As far as what really influnces me .. STREETFIGHTERS!
-
Ampster!...That is a beautiful shade of red, no doubt.
I'm off in the lower end of Clark county..Washougal WA. Home of the Nationals level MX track that they won't let me set foot on with my YFZ450 because of AMA's insurance restrictions :crybaby: :boohoo:
Picked up an '02 B12 in Silver last week, it has the stock seat so I'll probably have my butt modified for comforts' sake :wink:
I've jumped out on Highway 14 a couple of times for a cruise, but I don't have the gnads for I-5. I'm eyeballing a run on 101 later in the year though.
-
:welcome:
We just had a ride down in your neck of the woods a few weeks back... on the east side of St.Helens. I ended up doing a 5 hour drone up I5 in the rain to get home when we were done... now that part of the ride SUCKED!!!
I'm sure we'll be doing that run again during the summer... the roads around there are too mch fun not to! :bigok:
-
We should try the ride again after Labor day weekend. The crowds die down and the weather is usually better. Snows are long gone and the road moss is gone too! I've gone as late as mid-end of October and had a great time, open roads with no one around.
-
Greetings from the Ferndale area. I have a silver '02 B12 that's bone stock. It's my 5th bike and by far the best. I've put 11K miles on the bike since I bought it new in 2003 from Everett Motorsports. I'll be going over the N. Cascades on 7/23 and then on to Spokane. Anybody want to join in? :motorsmile:
Gary Nawman
-
I would, but I'll be riding that on the following Monday or Tuesday on my way out of state...
-
New to the forum, I ride a 2k2 B12S in Silver. I live in Olympia and work in Redmond. I would love to get together with some riders from the area for some rides. :motorsmile:
-
Stay tuned... sometimes the notices can be short. If you check the board often, folks looking for company can PM you.
I rarely know if my weekends are free until Wed or Thurs prior. IIRC, Tacoman was going to arrange a St. Helens ride after Labor Day when the traffic isn't so bad.
I've been wanting to make a run up the Mt. Baker Highway and throw in a few other area favorites, but it's looking like my weekends this moth are already planned between work, a wedding and a camping trip.
-
I'm planning a trip or two, I really like late September and early October. The weather is nice, most RVs are put away, no snow yet, moss off the roads, etc. I'm like Paul, never sure what's up for the coming weekend until about Wed. Things seem to slow down some after Labor Day though. The Baker Hwy is a ride I'd like to take. I have a long lost cousin recently found who has a restaurant in Glacier, he'd be more than happy to have a group of Bandits roll in.
-
That baker trip sounds like a nice one. I'd like to go.
-
Hi there, I have been lurking around her for a couple months and I just picked up a 2000 B-12 :banana: :banana: :banana: its "Champagne Silver". I live in North Bend and work in Bellevue. This is a great forumn and have learned a lot already.
-
:welcome: It's always great to see another Washingtonian! :bigok:

Not really new to the forum just havn't posted in this section. My name is Shawn I have a 91 Bandit 400 and live in North Idaho about 20 minutes out of Spokane.

New to this section! But will be riding the twisty's in N.C. TWO/2 weeks from now!!! With my brother Baby Shower planner's!!!! :stickpoke: :monkeymoon: :motorsmile: :banana: :banana: :beers:

That's right... we've got Mt. Constitution and it's 80 turns in 4.7 miles! :bigok:

:shock:
Where can I find mt. Constitution.
I gotta ride there.
When I get done changing my chain and sprockets.
Rode to arlington then stopped by angel of the winds coz I was hungry,
Can't beat 1 dollar salmon and chips and one dollar strawberry shortcake!
Woohoo. And free soda drinks.
Then went home with a sagging chain hahaha.
-
Go to Anacortes and get on the ferry that goes to Orcas Island. When you get off the ferry, take the main road up to Eastsound and head east to Moran State Park. After you pass thru the park's entry arch, and the lake on your right, keep an eye out for a fork off to the left, that's the road up Mt. Connie.
:bigok: :bigok: :motorsmile: :motorsmile: :bigok: :bigok:
It's best to go during the week, if you go on a weekend, be prepared to suffer going the speed limit (25) - or slower - behind all the tourists.
-
:roll:
was that picture taken when i was supposed to ride with you guys and i thought the ride was on saturday and then it was really on a sunday?
i went down burlington and didnt see you guys, but i saw the couple that used to ride bandits but the guy bought a hayabusa?
isn't that the same day you guys got stopped by the "5 oh" ? hehe
-
We went out to the Penninsula that day. The Mt. Connie pics are from when a group of guys from work got together and played hooky from work one day. I've been up there with Jeff & Gina (the couple you're talking about - that are divorced now) before, too... back in '04 when Jeff hosted a PNW Banditfest on San Juan & Orcas islands. I was just up there a couple of weeks ago with my wife on our anniversary, but with the car instead of the bike.
-
oh ok, hehe
yeah i remember the name gina, just wasn't sure and i was gonna type in a name with a j, something like jeremy.
:beers: congratulations on the recent anyversary.
i will check out that mountain when i get my chain and sprockets done.
stickin with stock set up though.
does silver bandit steve still go on here?
how's he doin'?
-
Haven't seen Steve post since last fall.

Actually, its been nice up here in the past few days, except for last saturday. I was able to ride sunday afternoon when it cleared up. Got soft 50miles on my new chain and sprockets. Can't wait to get 100, then let the bandit ride hard again.
Monday was sunny,tuesday was sunny, today's gonna be sunny and tomorrow and forecast says sat and sunday is sunny..

I went with the TV news and radio - both Seattle based.
But then I spaced out and was thinking today was Thursday, not Wednesday, so you were right, tomorrow does look like it'll be OK, but the weekend is still looking like it'll suck.

Hi guys. First real post. Live in Rochester, WA, south of Olympia, ride a 2005 B12S with few mods. Great site, good weather coming, and more riding to come. Jeff :thanks:
-
hey there, i'm a new rider with 91' Bandit 400 as first bike...was practicing out of the Northgate mall parking lot before I realized the previous owner stripped the thread and it leaks....
so... Im looking for an oil pan for sale to fit my 91 B4, please reply to huahuafish@gmail.com, thank you.
-
:stickpoke: Maybe you can post you're looking for an oil pan in one more thread somewhere else... :monkeymoon:
It'll be faster, and cheaper, to just fix the one you've got. :motorsmile:
-
This is forum is great! I live in Spokane, WA and have a 96 B6S in exotic Marble Italian Red.
I've had her since March of 2005 and I am thoroughly pleased with the bike and this newly found hobby. I commute cold, rain or shine and enjoy some weekend rides as well.
Any other red 96 B6Ss in Spokane? Would love to see what kind of mods you've done.
Chantal
-
ooh chandita!
your my kind of rider.
your a fighter. and not affraid of the weather
:banana:
-
What good is a bike in a garage? This part of the country you have to accept the weather and ride on! :)
I'm originally from Alaska so this Spokane type of cold is no big deal! :)
-
I guess i would be on the porch cause i couldn't run with you husky (BIG DOGS) type riders! I almost froze in the Blue Ridge temps, where those are foot hills to you Rocky riders. M/C just seem to be rite for the sweltering area's. Icy roads etc sounds like so "NOT" much fun!!!! :annoy: :banana: :banana: :motorsmile:
-
What are u talkin bout brotha?
Its warm here now. Yesterday I was workin on my porsche 912 with no shirt on and was sweatin like mo fo.
Anyways, by august it gets up to high 90s even over hundred degrees on other areas.
Weather here is probably the best in the summer the heat bearable on a bike the wind feels great.
If ur talkin bout the snow where I parked my bike on the side of the road, I was up mt. Baker by the ski lodge. No ice on the road all the way up there now.its not even wet. That picture was taken may 5 of this year.
-
And that's exactly why I love Spokane. I was able to ride on dry roads last November and again in February. Not too shabby. You get the best of everything here. A little cruise will take you to desert-like areas, mountains and lakes. A white xmas, spring showers, hot and dry summers. Mo better than Alaska that's for sure! :)
-
Ok I concede ! Anywhere with more than the occasional turn, scenery, of more than flat straight boring roads is just a plus too riding on two wheels! Even if it is in the rain. :stickpoke: :bigok: :congrats: :motorsmile: :beers:
-
hey yall, I'm Ed and I just picked up my first bike a month ago
I ride a 91 B4, pearl white with red stripe, I wear red mesh joe rocket jacket with red Scorpion helmet
I live and ride around northgate right now, occasionally venturing out to Kenmore through Bothell way, around Locust way
I'm still learning the ropes, so if you see me on the road pardon me for the gear-crunching, clutch-buring, both legs on the road action.... :clubme:
if anyone can offer tips about where to practice riding around seattle please let me know, thanks
-
Congrats and welcome! :)

="flipbandit"] Yesterday I was workin on my porsche 912 with no shirt on and was sweatin like mo fo.
Too much info!!!! I'm sure it was meant to impress me!!! LOL Did it work???? :beers: :beers: :congrats:

hahaha i know too much info on that hahaha
here no shirt
hahaha

-
actually im the one that's impressed at you.
that hayabusa is freakin scary man!
i ride a gsxr600 and it scares me.
i'd shit my pants if im on that hayabusa
:motorsmile: :motorsmile: :motorsmile:
-
The Busa is just a big comfy bike that can become as bad as you make it! I get left behind all the time by R6's Gixxer 6's!!! Don't know which is on steroids or crack the bike or rider! The reason i posted about the Porsche was it seemed to me you were trying to impress others!!! :stickpoke: :beers: :bigok:
-
oh the 912 is a big pain in the ass!
there's always something wrong with it.
it's old you know. 1966
but i love this lil car.
can't seem to let it go.
it's not a fast car or impressive as the 911 but i didn't buy it for the speed
i got it coz of the rarity of it.
it's the 3 gauge model. i'm sure they're somewhere scattered in the u.s. but i just haven't seen one like it yet. most of em' are made with 4 gauges.
when it runs it's all eyeballs
but it's a pain!!!
hahaha
-
howdy, new to the forum but not to bandits.
New ride: '93 B-4 with Yosh 4-2-1 and a need for a little tuning work.
location: Spokane, Spokaloo, Spocan't, Spokompton or whatever the hell you want to call it.
I'm really happy to be back on a bandit after 6 years of no bike at all. My last was a '91 B4 so its just like coming home....
If you see me, I'm on an all red B-4, silver wheels, black leather boots, jacket, gloves and a much marked up black HJC helmet with a little blonde ponytail pokin' out the back.
personal crap: 36 y.o., married, three daughters. own a bar in town (Far West Billiards), spend way too much time on my computers (linux junkie) and am trying hard to find time to work on and ride my new toy.
cheers

Welcome aboard andrew!
Maybe if I'm in spokane ill stopby ur bar. And check out ur b4.
-
seriously, drop me a line before you're in town and I'll meet you. Always willing to have a cool one.
-
Just saw this thread. Heya folks! Im pretty new to this forum but have already found an endless well of info for my rebuild. Im doing a ground-up rebuild of my '01 1200s. I had the bad pistons in mine and replacing them somehow snowballed into the biggest project ive ever undertaken.
Oh, and i live in Burien, right behind the Seatac airport
:beers: :motorsmile:
-
:welcome:
What kind of problems have you snowballed into?
-
not problems, im just able to talk myself into "while im replacing this, i might as well replace that" and upgrading everything somehow. A piston swap became a frame up rebuild somehow lol :beers:
-
Just pick up a wineberry? (that's what I call it) 07 1250s. What a ride !!!! Perfect for Marine View Drive, out in the Federal Way area. I have already custom pinstriped it. Along with my 05 C50T, this is going to be a great summer. I look forward to meeting up with some of you..

That's an interesting twist... buying a bike to match your helmet. :lol:

Hey all...
New to the forums, but, read a LOT before posting.
I'm in Centralia; just picked up my 2nd B12 ('03 Silver B12S, starting mods)(had black '98 B12S). Nice to see there are a few owners/riders of Bandits in WA and up North. I'm looking to do some weekend rides up on the Peninsula over the summer.
If ever heading down I-5 through my area, drop me a line. Or if planning a ride (I see there is one two weeks from now, but I'll be out of town.... drats); please let me know.
Glad to be here!

You can bank on at least one run down the east side of St. Helens - that's in your back yard! :motorsmile:
YOU wanna set a date? Any idea is FS99 is open out to Windy Ridge yet?
-
Just about to break 500 mile. Now I can rap it up to 7000 RPM. I reset my suspension settings, and I'm looking to roll. I just hope the weather will be better than this weekend.

Not sure, but I can check on it today. I've been spending the last few weeks just scouting roads as much as possible up on the Peninsula, Grays Harbor, Lewis and some Cowlitz County. Rainier got hammered pretty hard last fall, will never be the same again. I'll post tonight or tomorrow on FS99.
Soonest I'll be available is June 29th.
-
Checking in here! Live in Snohomish and work all over the area ... wherever duty calls. Picked up a new Bandit 1250 lately, and I also enjoy occasionally poking holes in the ozone layer with my old GT750 2-stroke.
I'm always up for a ride and meeting fellow twisty lovers. Drop me a line!
-
I have a Blue 97 Bandit 1200s like the subject says and live in Kirkland, WA. Lately I have been going for long rides on the weekends with my dad Red01 (for people that frequent these boards). I would love it if a few more Bandits wanted to head out we usually go 1 day early till late on Saturday but whatevers clever. I definately want to hit Baker (again :motorsmile: ) and I dont think Hwy20 will ever get old. Also want to get down to the West side of St. Helens and maybe even over to the Old Spiral Hwy once before the season ends.
So if your going on a ride or would like to go on one hit one of us up and lets do this already.
-
Have a 2003 stock 1200 bandit...Live in Tacoma ..my favorite place to ride is St Helens or Rainer...went to st Helens 4 times last year..can't wait for spring so I can hit it again ! :taz:
-
:welcome: GP!
I know St H is a lot closer to you, but have you ever been up the Mt Baker Hwy? If you like St H, you'll like that one, too... and it was just repaved a couple of years ago and it's not nearly as bumpy as the roads around St H.
-
OK guys...it's starting to sound like there are a few more interested PNW guys this year...we should start planning a PNW Bandit ride soon. I will have lots of time and energy for making trips this year, and other than the big yearly ride with my Cranbrook buddies, I am hoping to make several trips to the west this year.
I want to do St Helens from both sides, Mt Baker, the roads around Ranier that I haven't done (still a bunch according to my DH book) and likely Vancouver Island. My buddy Steve (Concours 14) has moved to Nanaimo from Vernon, so I need to go farther west.
Cargo7 is game for any PNW rides this year (after standing us up in '06 over a little snow!!)...so let's start committing to an early season ride...maybe early May? Who's game?
-
I haven't done Baker .. I guess i will put that on my list for this year ( I get 5 weeks vacation :taz: ) ..more than willing to go on a one day ride ( I only have Saturdays and Tuesdays off) ...so any sat when there is no ice on the road( or if anything lines up with a vaction day/week...i..I am willing ...gotta warn ya ...I don't go slow in the twisties....really looking forward to riding with some guys that aren't afraid to lean it over ( I was whacking tree limbs with my shoulder coming down St Helens last time :)
I want someone to put me in my place( so far my friend on his Hayabusa and a guy I met last summer on his 14 conny couldn't keep up ) ..not bragging ..I know there are 100,000 guys out there that can hand me my lunch ...I just want to meet some of them so I can learn ...
-
Certainly up for a day ride in the St Helens area. A bit limited on free time and saturdays are best but keep this post current with lots of rides and I will be able to participate
-
the roads around Ranier that I haven't done (still a bunch according to my DH book)

the back side of Rainer ( sunrise ...is a blast , I did it 2 years ago on my PC 800..can't wait to do it on the Bandit ...last year it was closed ...hope it opens

Hello everyone! Glad I finally found a bandit forum. I picked up a 2001 bandit 1200 about a month ago and am really enjoying it. Look foreword to further perusing the site some more.
Here is the tiny picture from the CL post.
-
Hey sefninja
Welcome aboard. I always liked the Red 2001. One of my favourite colours.
-
Welcome aboard!!
-
Naked goodness! Still one of my favorite bikes of all time. Welcome.
-
:welcome: I sold a 2001 B12 about a month ago... but it was a S model and not thru CL. I started missing it immediately - even though I hadn't ridden her in more than 6 months.
-
Yeah, that's the problem, as soon as you sell something like this, you really miss them. That's why I still have my 84 V65 Sabre.
:grin:
-
this is off topic but I was just going to see if RED01 was doing a comparo after having the c14 this long. what he likes bout both. got a smashed sabre and couple magnas in shed, all victims of alcoholism. thought v65s had a shake, was probly me. Welcome to forum nice lookin scooter. I,ve read somewhere that red bandits are the fastest. not a theory but a proven fact. :welcome: g

Greetings! I live in Portland, OR. I joined recently since I am in the process of repairing and doing a semi-restoration on a neglected 1991 GSF400.

In my spare time, I have a 1992 Suzuki Goose 350, and a 1997 DR350, for which I have both dual sport and supermoto guise. :grin:
