Ms.Fire #2
Ms. Fire: Wxmen-focused Moto Night at Top Dead Center – Seattle Motorcycle Meetup (First Thursdays, May–September)
Join us for a monthly wxmen-focused motorcycle night at Top Dead Center — a vintage motorsports-inspired coffee shop and tavern in North Seattle. Held on the first Thursday of each month from May through September, this casual meetup brings together women, non-binary riders, and anyone looking to connect with Seattle’s growing moto community in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.
Whether you ride, wrench, or are just moto-curious, Ms.Fire is a Wxmen-focused Moto night to meet other riders, share stories, and spend time around bikes without gatekeeping. Expect a mix of vintage motorcycles, daily riders, and projects in the garage, along with coffee, beer, and outdoor patio seating when the weather cooperates.
Located near Green Lake and serving the Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, and greater North Seattle neighborhoods, Top Dead Center is built around the idea that motorsports should be accessible to everyone — from seasoned riders to first-timers just getting started.
Drop in, bring a friend, or show up solo — this is an easy entry point into the local motorcycle scene and a chance to build community around riding, wrenching, and shared experience.
Bike Night @ TDC
Wednesdays are for Wrenching.
We’re working on a couple projects, right now a 1953 AJS Model 20. Come help, lend some expertise or learn a few things, or chill with a beer and make fun. Literally just a bunch of folks fumbling through an old motor project and swearing - lots of fun.
