    Hi all,
    My brother is flying in from the east coast to do the Backcountry Discovery Route with us in late July. We're trying to get a bike to rent for him - he has a BMW 650GS (on the east coast) and has lots of experience riding in Spain and Morocco where he used to live. Does anyone have a dual sport sitting around that needs some exercise and wants to rent it for a week? We'll pay to take the bike in and get it fully checked out for you, and leave you a big deposit . Or does anyone have a bike they want to sell?
    Thanks!

    Try these guys:

    http://www.motoquest.com/motorcycle-rental/seattle-washington-3

    They have for rent exactly what he rides back home.

    I honestly won't rent mine/lend mine because, quite simply, if it's going to get broken, it'll be by me. ;)

    To some people, asking them to let you ride their bike is like asking them to let you ride their wife. Though, some might say yes to the latter before the former...*shrugs*

    Thanks guys,
    Yeah, I understand about renting your kit out, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Looks like we'll rent from motoquest. Just a bit out of the way as we live in Bellingham, but we'll make it work. Thanks for the info!
