Yammer Dan Posted February 20, 2013 Share #30 Posted February 20, 2013 Well tom, you told me that average age of the group was about 55, :backinmyday: so I have a couple of advantages right off. One, I am a bit younger/quicker. two, the guns are probably old and by the time they pull'em out of where there hiding them...I'll be gone:hihi::hihi: Thats why I mounted that 50 cal on the handlebars..

steamer Posted February 20, 2013 Share #31 Posted February 20, 2013 Hey Diatan, don't forget to check the schedule. don't want to step on any other planned events. Oh and the more ice cream stops the better. Thanks for taking this on. Looking forward to meeting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted February 20, 2013 Share #35 Posted February 20, 2013 Did someone mention Trout Run? And Rt. 15? I just drool thinking of the riding in that area. I run from 180 up 15N to 17W to 13N into Ithaca NY then back to Watertown twice a week. On any given Saturday I'm game to meet up. I have been planning on riding in that area of Pa. and it would be great to hook up with "locals". And since I have grown accustomed to getting up between 2:30 and 4:30 a.m. I could be darn near as far as Muncy in time to meet for a day ride. Motorcycles, hot dogs, ice cream and riding.

Daitan Posted February 20, 2013 Share #36 Posted February 20, 2013 John T, That was me, I was talking to another guy who lives in sayre, pa. I did last year with some friends. It was a great a ride, and we ended it at "Texas Roadhouse" for dinner in elmira. A great ending for a good ride. I live in Phelps, north of geneva. Right between xt 42 and 43 off the thru way. a block off 96. So very easy, and would love to do that anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daitan Posted February 20, 2013 Share #38 Posted February 20, 2013 Dallio, how far are you from elmira? Elmira is 60 away from me. And what is the length of 666 rte ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBJ Posted February 20, 2013 Share #39 Posted February 20, 2013 Ben got in touch with us and I let him him know we're glad to have him on board. Geez, that guys got so much energy makes me feel like a slacker. But the more the merrier and you PA. guys are welcome to join us as well. As I told Ben, we've had at least one ride a year here. Steamer and Robin did last years but maybe a spring and fall ride would be good even though i don't want to interfere with Bongo's fall ride. But I hope that this years we'll all be able to get back together again and get some good riding and fun times back in. So keep an eye to the calendar I was just telling Tom and Jerry (ha ha tom and jerry) That a ride the second week of May would be a possible first ride here. Depending on the weather of course. But Ben anything you want to plan let us know we'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted February 20, 2013 Share #41 Posted February 20, 2013 Back in the 70's travelling between Buffalo and Philadelphia I would sometimes take 666, a nice shortcut from Rt15 to Rt6 but not the smoothest. I stopped taking it when part of it got washed away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onenut Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #42 Posted February 20, 2013 Ya it sill isnt the smoothest ride and pay attention to the corners they sneak up quick. Agood ride for me is taking RT6 west stop at my parents and go to Mt.Jewett Pa to Kinzua Bridge the old trussel that was wiped out about 10 years ago now they made it into a sky walk then to Kinzua Dam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
