    hi,
    Just joined the site here today and thought I would see how many people are from Central PA.I live near Williamsport Pa and I'm looking for some other people to go on rides with. Bought a 07 left over VFR from a local dealer in March and for the most part all my friends ride cruisers.I always had rice rockets the in line 4's. been riding for about 22 years so this isn't my first sport bike but it is the first V4 for me.If anyone has any rides going or just want to meet up and ride on a Saturday or Sunday send me a message please.Look forward to meeting you all in the forums or on the road.
    Vince

    Welcome aboard Vince, and congrats on your purchase. I'm not near central PA, but I'm sure you'll get some interest soon enough!

    Yo Vince, welcome to the insane asylum...Fuggettaboutit! Are you coming with us this Sunday on the Catskills burger run ride? You and Steve can lead us into battle with your RWB patriotic bikes.

    Thanks Toe Cutter.I really like how you switched the wheels around on your bikes.Makes it look sweet.Yeha I had the wheels PC white soon as I got the thing home.The black just didn't look right and I saw the white VFR with White wheels and loved it.

    You can always meet Pocono VFR and ride up with him, I think he's about 2 hours from you. He will have a meeting point at the Gap Welcome center.

    Hi Vince. I'm always looking for other VFR riders. I'm not exactly in your area either, but probably within a meeting point somewhere in between. I'm in the Kempton area, about 103 miles and 2 1/2 hours from Williamsport.

    Kempton to Williamsport, PA - Google Maps

    In your direction I've been as far as the Bloomsburg area. There is a ride heading up there on this Sunday from Martin Motorsports in Boyertown, but I know that would also be a hike for you just to get down here by around 9am, and then turn around and head right back up there. I just thought I would throw that out there about the Martin rides and First Sundays FYI.

    I rode with two of the Pocono/NJ crew (PoconoVFR & Pliskin) a couple months ago for the first time starting from a closer/central meeting point. They are a couple of really nice dudes that I look forward to riding with again in the future. It was a great ride and a good time. Don't be shied away by the sarcastic comments you see exchanged between them all... after a while I realized they are just having fun with one another.

    Welcome to the site!

    You may not be available for this Sunday, but in the future there is a big bike meet in Ephrata PA every first Sunday of the month, I was there Easter Sunday and about 1000 bikes showed up then. With warmer temps, it reaches upwards of 4000 bikes.

    I will be there this Sunday.

    Ephrata First Sunday Motorcycle Rally at the American Legion / Ephrata Park
