We live near Allentown.

Just purchaced a GTS for having fun on. Great little machine. Hoping my wife learns to ride and we get her a 150.

Beautiful photos as usual. Back in the mid 70’s I worked in a drive-in theater. Boy those were the days.

Sorry I can’t help you with the logistics but I am sure if you check out the Adventure Rider forum you will find a wealth of support and information on this kind of ride. Unlike me those members are making those long tours.

michael: The places to explore here are endless. As much as I have traveled around Pennsylvania I still am surprised how much I haven’t seen. I suspect it could keep me busy the rest of my riding career.

hdesq: Do you really have a cabin at Black Moshanon? That would be too weird! I guess it is a really small world.

gary: Kim and I are both grateful to live where we do. The natural landscape begins a mile from our door and we also have the amenities of a large university which often you only see in a city. When we travel and look at other places as possible future living areas we always come back here.

Steve, you are a lucky man. And your photographs capture it so well. I like this format you are trying out here. It really plays to your strengths.

Bravo!

What a glorious morning it was. Moreover, when you were in Berkeley Springs, WV a couple of weeks ago, I live only about 30 miles from there. I wish I had known that our paths were almost crossing as I would have made arrangements to meet you. Paul II

I’m AMAZED that with each post you write about a new part of your local area that still seems relatively unexplored from a scooter’s point of view. With all your riding, you must have visited pretty much all of Pennsylvania, right? 🙂

I am a biker in India. Plan to visit New York March 2008 and ride to Sanfrancisco or Seattle from NY. Hope I can rent a motorcycle in NY.

Can u help me plan the ride n the logistics?

bill: It’s sad to see some of the old things disappearing but I suppose that’s progress. In rural areas sometimes it comes a bit slower but comes anyway.

Thanks for your words of encouragement on the pictures.

antonio: I really like sitting outside eating. Even more than inside having breakfast I think.

s u n d a n c e: Thanks! I continue to be amazed at how much you can smell while riding. Mostly good things but sometimes…

bimbo: Thanks for your kind words. I visit your site often to see how the other side of the planet is riding. And I love the yellow Vespa!

Thanks for dropping by Vespinoy!
Great article, as usual, I’m a big fan of your site. I can only hope to have the time to do the same things you do, but if and when I do I’ll be sure to try to post the pictures and tell the stories as well as you.

Cheers!

Great post. I agree that the experience is completely different than in a car. The smell of flowers in the country and restaurants in the city add another dimension to a great thing.
