    Sunday just might work for me.... Not supposed to be as nice as Saturday, but still looks like an OK day.

    Hey Pocono - Could you give me a hand setting up my suspension? Its only stock, but sure it needs a little help with my fat ass on there...

    I agree that Saturday is forecast to be the better day weatherwise, but I could probably make it on Sunday as well. It kinda sounds like Sunday is the day of choice for you guys??

    Pocono... you said you headed south yesterday.... in what areas did you ride? I am actually west of Allentown/Lehigh Valley in the Kempton area. Is there a chance we could join up somewhere between us all?

    I'd do Saturday if I could, but can't.

    I don't know the roads of PA, I leave that up to Pocono. I would think there's got to be somewhere we could meet. Anyone else joining in?

    Should we start formulating a plan for Sunday - i.e time and place to meet? I'm in.

    Oops... I read that wrong... sorry. You headed north, but mentioned that south was nice. Got it.

    No problem.. take your time. I am ~22 miles west of A-town... right next to the Berks/Lehigh County line. Where are you located in the Poconos? I could head in a general NE direction.

    ........why ya' gotta' go there man. I thought...."LAST EXIT BEFORE TOLL" would suffice for a lawyer.
    Guess not.

    Exit 310.

    So is this a go? What time are we meeting at the last exit before the toll?

    Is that the last exit in NJ, or the last exit in PA? :boxing:

    I don't know 5thGenAchmed well enough to start telling lawyer jokes...

    From my place to De. Water Gap Exit 310 is 63 mi. via Routes 22E, 33N, & 209N/80E, but I would not travel on that deathtrap of a highway called Rt. 22. I would take more backroads through maybe Palmerton, Beltzville, Broadheadsville, etc. which means further and more time just to get to the normal starting point. I do ride a couple times a year up in that area... like up through Hickory Run, White Haven, and a nice smooth twisty that leads to Francis E. Walter Dam (Francis E. Walter Dam | Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor). You may already be familiar with that ride.

    I'll wait & see in what areas you intend to ride or if you decide that you are heading west and/or south, make a decision based on that, and possibly hook up somewhere and ride together for a while. If it doesn't work out, that's cool.... I don't want to take you too far out of your preferred area just for me.

    ..................since when did you need to know the lawyer for a good lawyer joke?:cool:
    Pil how much time you have on Sunday. We could meet Velocity in A-Town and head north from there.

    Velocity.....Hickory Run is actually in one of my loops. There is some great stuff south of there in and around Danielsville.
    high speed loop - Google Maps
    This is an older map with out the White Haven addition. It's easy to drop in.
    I'm pretty much up for anything.

    Do you have a meeting spot in mind in the A-Town area or should I suggest something? Keep in mind you don't have to come all the way into the city (that would suck) if you don't want to; I could meet you somewhere north outside of the city. And what time frame would be good for you guys?

    Probably Route 80 - I can be at the DWG if I slab it in about 25 minutes. If I go Route 78, looking at about 45-50 minutes to Bethlehem.

    Grrrrr... My seat is currently on it's way back from Spencer's in FL, not scheduled to be here until Monday. I feel like strapping a pillow on the bike so I can ride with you guys this weekend.

    Velocity, I'm just south of Macungie.I ride up through the Kempton area all the time. I like to explore the roads and scenery up there. We'll have to hook up for some local rides this year.
