I've bought some accessories and had service done there in the past and they were pretty cool.

If you're coming down I5 - take the Northgate exit - go westbound for a couple of miles until you hit Aurora Ave (Hwy 99) Take a left on Aurora and go for about 8 or so blocks - it's on the west (right) side of the street.

Hope that helps...

You prolly should tell what kind of bike you are looking for. I have racing been on two wheels since I was 5 and have a lot of friends with shops in the area.

I have recently been shopping for an Aprilia RSV Mille recently too and found a great shop for that kind of bike in the North Seattle.

Be sure to check what is going to happen to your insurance... I go through Allstate. When I was bike shopping, I narrowed it down to a ZX6R, a F4I, an RC51, and an Aprilia Mille RSV. When I called my agent he said "Anything that starts with ZX, GSX, CBR, or R, I cannot insure.

THEN I asked about the RC51, and the Aprilia.. He could insure both for CHEAP... Funny, they are the fastest of all of the bikes mentioned above. When I asked WHY, he said they appeal to an older, more mature, and more wealthy crowd who do not ride like young morons. For the hell of it, look at an Aprilia... You can get a new one a year old for $12K. The twin is incredible, fast, and user friendly. Not to mention the unique factor (Just like owning an S2K).

Helmets.... I have worn Shoei helmets my whole life. I have at least three foot peg "landings" on mine and I am still here with most of my brain left :-)

If you are adimant about a Japanese bike, check out Renton Motorsports and ask for Junior. Tell him I sent ya and he will take care of you.. He is a former Jeeping freind of mine, and a Motocross enthusiast. He runs the show down there. BTW, Kawasaki has a new ZX6 (636) that is fuel injected and looks like a real mean machine you may want to look into.

Good luck!

Ask Russ (rlavalle) about bikes and bike track events and shcools. He's got a fleet of crotch rockets and has done a bunch of track stuff with them.
