Those roads remind me a lot of Lancaster County, PA

Only the pavement is in much better condition

Hahaha bet you make the Amish quite jealous.

And I'm jealous of all you guys with nice roads. I have to ride over an hr just to find some nice twistys.

Ain't that the truth. When I go up to PA the back ways (aka not to Philly) you can see the state border from a way off due to the pavement change.

Amusing anecdote about taking the Monster up to Lancaster. Was stopped for gas n grub at a Wawa when a PA state trooper strolls up and asks me if I'd been pulled over that day. I hadn't and responded as such. "Oh, one of the other troopers in the area radioed that they had pulled over a nice looking Ducati earlier. Haven't seen a duc up here in a couple weeks so I figured it was you. Nice bike and ride safe."

Didn't really think about it too much - but yeah in that area I only really ever say cruisers and the occasional BWM

SP:

This wasn't in say November was it? It was an unusually nice day for this time of year and I definitely got  Police somewhere around that time. He let me off with a verbal warning so all was good.

And I know what you mean by the roads. If I don't head north into the mountains, I ride south into Maryland. Even on the shittiest back country roads, there is a solid line between crappy PA pavement and nice Maryland pavement. Amazes me every time.

Yes, certain sections of the road condition really suck.  gravel and the patch as you an see in the video is just horrible.  but that road is addicting and am glad have access to it.

Hahaha bet you make the Amish quite jealous.

And I'm jealous of all you guys with nice roads. I have to ride over an hr just to find some nice twistys.

Takes me an hour to get to this twisty too.  But it is so well worth it.  It is a fun and technical road for me.
