I’ll make a note about the shorts. Middle age. You were telling me about your senior citizen discount today.

Those Dolly Madison donuts sure did brighten a day. Damn heart.

Can’t wait to see the new BMW. Finally you have something I might want to ride!

I can only imagine what Daytona Beach or Sturgis must be like. Heard someone at the Boalburg Moto Hang talking about Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown and it seems far too loud, social and jammed with bodies for me. Probably why I recoil when asked to photograph a Penn State football game or a rock concert.

I might be up for Burning Man. Maybe once…

Don’t let me wear those shorts again. I look like some middle age white guy. Ugh. I may have gotten a good photo that day too. We used to pack a 12 pack of Dolly Madison’s but I think we have moved past that dietary proclivity. My ducati sold tonight on ebay. That means I’ll have a different motorcycle for your photos next trip. PR

In reply to charlie6. It's all about the people Dom. Always seems one group doesn't feel another should have the freedom to follow their own path...

In reply to Ry Austin.

Those are some pretty dissimilar machines. I love riding the F800GS and love the looks of the Moto-Guzzi. The Harley though just seems too big and bulky to me. I’ve always favored the 883 Sportster over all the rest. Seems like plenty of power. Maybe it doesn’t have the right loud sound.

Group rides, regardless of type, always seem like hell to me. Give me a quiet road without no one else around…

In reply to Steel. Thanks Steel. Never sure where to draw the line between my riding life and the rest of it...

In reply to John.

Thank you for your kind words of support John. I appreciate knowing that some of the things I write resonate with someone.

Carrying bouquets would require some serious wind protection. For those not inside a box maybe a very large diameter PVC pipe with threaded plugs on each end. Could put things inside and bungee to the seat. Or a rear rack.

Good luck. Send a picture of your LX150 with a couple dozen roses!

In reply to Marian Cannon Dornel. I hope the post found you well Marian! Glad to help fill a desire to see a part of central Pennsylvania. It's easy to take it for granted until you're away.

Good photos. We were at Elk Creek Cafe last Saturday when the Harley crew were doing their thing. I won’t repeat some of the comments we heard from some townspeople, and definitely won’t repeat our own thoughts of the ear-splitting antics and the general caliber of participants. A huge Vespa meet-up would have been a hoot, but that’s not the Millheim Hotel style, is it?

Never heard the term Arat. Interesting perjorative coming from folks who thought it better to record social angst and commentary….they shoot to push their own agendas.

Landscapes don’t have agendas….
