One of my favorite photos from one of my favorite rides. Late January weather was so-so but okay as I left Beaverton, OR, turned to 30s and snow as I left I-5 and headed to the mountain. But once I got above 3,500 feet, it was beautiful: clear, sunny, temps in the mid 50s. Complete surprise...

I moved to near Diamond Lake, WA (USA, Zip 99156, North of Spokane) and wonder if anyone has recommendations for a reputable mechanic for servicing my 2012 FJR.  I do the general maintenance myself (oil, lube, tires, brakes, etc.) but often prefer to let someone else dig in to do more involved...
