Steve: I have been in the Eastern Panhandle of WV for several years now and ride an HD, Triumph and Kaw KLR 650. Really enjoy your blog. You should check out the Moshannon State Forest and the areas north of Clearfield too– great riding. Paul

My husband has been chewing at the bit to get out on his new (to him) motorcycle. He gave up going into the garage and sitting on it. He would also start it, just to at least feel like he could do something with it, lol. Each week we keep getting snow and they're predicting another round of snow late next week. It's also too cold for the present snow to melt.

So, no rides for a while here. Have fun with your new Vespa.

And sitting on it in the garage holding the grips only makes it worse. I did that a few times.

But at least I know all the words to the "No Scooter Riding Blues". I wrote them.

Have fun,
Bill

gary: I think we are in sync today. Our roads are mostly dry now but with some ice from springs that leak across some rural roads. I'll get out for a little while if only to ride to a cafe for a hot chocolate!

hdseq: Panera sounds like a good plan or maybe Barnes and Noble. They have great chocolate chunk cookies.

Clearfield County is largely unexplored territory for me and is high on the list. I have made a lot of photographs at the Bilgers Rocks area but that was a while back.

So what part of the country do you find yourself now as a Central PA ex-patriot photographer?

With new wheels, discretion is the better part of valor. If the conditions improve, scoot on down to Panera Bakery for a treat.
BTW- I’m a Central PA ex-patriot and former professional photographer– love your work. Some cool ride ideas- head West into Clearfield County!

I'm wrestling with a similar dilemma right now, Steve. Right now, the sun is shining, but it is only 6°F. There are still icy patches on most of the interesting roads I can ride.

Still, I'm going to go *somewhere* on the scooter today, after noon when the temps are highest. I'll stay on the cleared roads, away from the ice, and see what I can find.

Ride well,
