Changing belts and lines

There are some nice roads down that way,
you are about 90 minutes if I take the back roads.
I am frequently riding in the Jackson, New Egypt area.

Nice roads, really? You'll have to show me lol.

Been here for a year now, I really like it, but the first thing I did after seeing the long, flat, straight roads was sell my Buell (that I bought when I thought we'd be moving from the Philly burbs to the Poconos).

A typical ride for me involves 20-30 miles to GET to 4-5 miles of twisties, then another 10-20 miles to get to ANOTHER 1-2 miles of turns... then turn around and go home lol.

I just got back from a ride on the Tail of the Possum - 11 Miles, 1 Curve! (ok, I exaggerate, there are probably 5-6 curves in those 11 or so miles, all sweepers you can take at 70 ON MY HARLEY..., and TWO of them are back to back in a little high speed chicane, and is basically the most fun one can have around here on a bike, but it only lasts about 3 seconds.  

But I'm not pregnant doging <---WTF Autocorrect was that... I'm NOT pregnant dogING... at least there's no traffic as long as I go south or east towards Wharton and/or the shore.

Now if I go north or, especially WEST, watch out.

Anyway, RIDE SAFE,

Kev

How close are you to these guys  http://www.motorcyclemall.com  Myself, no FHE and Ducati is a new line for them.  They do have two good techs brought over from Italy.

I rode a lot in Millstone and there are some good roads there,
Right by Six Flags there are some good roads.
I have not been all the way to Melford so I thought the roads might be the same.
Nothing like the Poconos, you might be spoiled

They have a VERY bad reputation in the Guzzi community (and Guzzi wasn't a new brand for them then).

But it doesn't matter for ME, they're the same distance (or more with worse traffic) than Coopersburg and FWIW Coopersburg has a pretty good reputation.

Don't mind me, I'm just ranting.

I've made it up, as far as Columbia NJ (just a few weeks back for a small Guzzi gathering) and the roads are far better up that way.

And honestly, the roads through the pine barrens are beautiful. I'm just a few miles from 3 state/national forests, the biggest being Wharton (something like over 100,000 acres and 500 miles of roads/trails). It's really nice.

It's just FLAT and Straight.

I never realized how many hills and curves we had even in Chester County PA (I lived in rolling horse country for about 20 years before this).

I just have to get my cornering practice in on empty circles and on-ramps.

Stay away from Motorcycle mall.
You can buy from them but don't let them do any service.

I used to go hunting in Wharton many moons ago.
Its beautiful but flat.
I ride out to Bucks county thru Lambertsville for some twisty roads.

[Kev M]

Yeah,  I'm so close I'd say the pines that shroud my house  were probably once part of the same forest.

You hear about that fire there a few weeks ago, 750 acres burned.

That was so close I had to shut all the windows because of the smoke.

Anyway, if you plan on being down this was, pm me for contact info.

Ride safe!!!

[Dochunt]

I didn't hear about that fire.
I might get out that way this weekend depending on the weather and kids plans.
If I do, I'll let you know, Thank

[Kev M]

I'll pm you some contact info tomorrow...

[Dochunt]

Okay, great. I am PMing you my cell no.
