Steve: right now I'm learning the business on a 750 Honda Shadow. But- my truck is paid for, my birthday is a few months away, and Freedom Harley Davidson is 10 minutes from my house.

I'm thinking Softail Deluxe.

Anh Duoi Ga: Solitude is everywhere I think. Just need to seek it out. If I had to wait until I got to Dead Horse Point I would be a mighty unhappy rider.

No Name: Riding when it's 90 is always a challenge, especially since I wear a lot of protective gear. My ideal riding temperature is in the 45-70 range.

What kind of bike are you getting?

That’s a nice word picture Mr Williams, I’m gonna start looking forward to a summer back in solitude again, even if it is a cornfield instead of Dead Horse Point!

Anh Duoi Ga: I can imagine the relative emptiness of rural Pennsylvania roads would be a shock in comparison to the busy streets of Hanoi. Sort of like looking into the gaping void. The only thing I can personally compare it to was my first visit to Dead Horse Point in Utah. Early in the morning. Hadn't seen a soul for twenty miles. Not a building, not a creature, barely a plant and then coming to the edge of the point and looking off towards the Colorado River a thousand feet below --- felt utterly alone in the universe.

Well, maybe riding in PA isn't that similar...

Thanks for commenting from Vietnam!

Dear Mr. Riepe: The Warsaw of Poland seems to be pretty vital from big infusions of cash. Nice city. Not what I expected. Did not see a single cowboy or anyone in Western attire. Where have all the cowboys gone? Sounds like a good song title...

I don't think motorcycles will ever be allowed to park on sidewalks anymore than horses will be allowed to be tied off there. No one wants oil dripping all over the place.

My friend Dan and I have talked many times about making a surprise visit to the MACPAC breakfast. Now that you have shared the password it is far more likely.

Thanks for posting that important information. As always your appearance here is magic.

ToadMama: It’s always a pleasure to be able to share the things I see on the road. Sort of my online journal. Only more interesting than my real journal…

ToadMama — that’s an unusual handle. How did that come about??

Great photos – it just struck me how I, having learned to ride here in Hanoi (with unending and chaotic traffic, but it’s mostly scooter traffic), felt very much out of my element back in PA when on two wheels in the sticks! Anyway great job with the blog I enjoy keeping up with it.
Cheers!
