Insurance
101 - Saturday December 5th 8 a.m. @ Ride West
Buying motorcycle insurance coverage is decidedly different from
auto. There are numerous considerations to look at in a whole
different way. Whether youre shopping for better rates,
contemplating better coverage, looking to combine policies, or are
brand new to motorcycle insurance, chances are you have some
questions. Join the Ride West Insurance team as they de-mystify the
sometimes confusing world of motorcycle insurance. Topics will
include coverage options, ways to lower your annual premium,
insurance terms defined and more. Ride West will provide the coffee
and doughnuts, seating is limited so sign up early at
www.ridewest.com or call
206-527-5511.
At Sound RIDER! we applaud innovation. One of the most innovative
items we've seen come along in a while is the Wheel Jockey!
Finally, a simple product offers a solution to the cumbersome
task of rotating motorcycle wheels for cleaning and drive chain
maintenance. And, whats more, its small enough to be easily stowed
under the seat or in any motorcycle luggage!
In addition to cleaning and chain servicing, you can use it to
rotate a front or rear wheel to locate a puncture on a tube or
tubeless tire - a godsend of a device when riding alone. Once you've
located the puncture, simply mark it's location and remove your bike
from the wheel jockey to safely complete the repair.
A must have device for any serious rider who owns a motorcycle
without a center stand.
Available in the Sound RIDER! Online Store
 South
End Motorcycle Service & Spares

deserves? Did your dealer turn your bike down for regular service
based on its age? It's time for you to check in with Jim Croning at
South End Motorcycle Service and start bringing new life back into
your bike. Croning has more than 20 years of service tech experience
and has been certified through all the major Japanese OEM's

 Ride
the Honda DN-01
We bet when you saw this bike at the motorcycle show last
December, that getting to test ride one seemed like just a dream.
It's an engineering revolution. Is it a cruiser, sportbike or maxi
scooter? You've seen it, you've read the reviews, now you can ride it. South
Bound Honda has uncrated and setup a DN-01 unit for serious
qualified test riders to experience first hand. Visit them at 2724
96th St S, Lakewood, WA and find out for yourself what this new
marvel is all about.

 Step
into a new TrailGuard
BMW's new TrailGuard suit is one of the best textile suits to
come along in a long time. It fits the rider well, features numerous
pockets, is well armored and goes through the washing machine just
fine. We've been testing one here at Sound RIDER! since it's release
in the spring with good results. The suit has optional Gortex liners
for both top and bottom. There's plenty of adjustable venting for
warm days which means you can let just the right amount of airflow
in for proper evaporative cooling, but not entirely dry out as a
result. It comes in a black/charcoal design, but we like the cream-sicle/mocha
option the best. Get a closer look at Ride West BMW in Seattle soon.
You'll find them at 8100 Lake City Way just off I-5.

 Dual Sport Rides Through Western Washington - AVAILABLE NOW!

provides 28 rides from the Columbia River to the Canadian border and
west to the Pacific Ocean. Rides are designed to last two to four
