So my girlfriend and i just got married this past monday.She just started a career in the Navy so it looks like im moving to Bremerton Washington. I almost considered selling my bike but im going to take it with me. I was wondering if anyone was around the area and could give me any infomation about good riding, decent bike shops and any other helpful info. thanks- |

At your service! Congrats on the Wedding & Welcome to the Bendy & Dirty. Legend H-D & Buell is in Silverdale, and right in the backyard for Bremerton. We are open 6 days a week, and we have weekly rides barring snow and ice. We have as many as 3 to 25 people go on our rides. I would be nice to see you at the shop. Of course I am the one on staff that rides the bikes, sells them and having too much fun on them. Look for my bike when you get down here, If you dont see me, I am probably on my way there.

Brian - That thing's outta the shop!?!?!? Riderx09 - +1 on the Silverdale shop! Brian's a great guy, goes out of his way for the Buells. There are plenty of us around and we have some of the best roads around! Nice and twisty with the best backdrops you've ever seen! Welcome to the neighborhood! |

Oh, and, you're going to want to live in Silverdale. Bremerton is sort of industrial. |

Couldn't he live in Humptulips? Probably a bit far to commute. I've got relatives out there, one down in Hoodsport, another on the coast, couple others on the crowded side of the Sound. Port Orchard used to be nice when my parents had friends who lived there when I was a kid. |

I used to ride year round when I lived out there, only time I stopped was when there was ice on the roads. People look at you funny when you ride a bike in the snow. "But it's a sticky snow". |

No cops out in the mud, I can go as fast as traction, tires and surfaces will let me, and of course my own apprehension of gravity. 50 mph on dirt is FAST going Mud Sluggin tonite! |

Wow! Talk about coninkydink.... Sammie and I may be heading that way next year. We're looking at taking a transfer to Bellingham. We lived in Port Townsend for a year. I suppose we'll be shopping in Mt Vernon or Anacortes depending on real estate prices. Good to hear there are at least a few Buells up there. I may do the same, and sell mine before moving and "upgrade" when I get there. I guess it depends on the cost of getting it there! Nick |
