Title: Eastern Pa. Lehigh Valley??
Post by: kylegod on January 12, 2010, 10:37:20 PM
Anyone located in PA, specifically Eastern PA near Philadelphia?
Im located in the lehigh valley in Bethlehem. Near Allentown and Easton. About 45 minutes from philly.

Im looking to meet some new people to ride with, seeing as I only have one other guy to ride with who is rarely available due to owning a restaurant. Other than that I just have my dad and his harley guys to ride with which is fun but usually a drag (I hate going 30 in corners and switchbacks that are actually speed limit signed at 30.)

Looking to do some nice day rides. And especially looking to do some weekend or few day rides with some camping or crappy motels. Nothing like camping, seeing new areas, and hitting up some good dive spots to eat.

As anyone knows in the area, its freezing now, and Im not looking to ride now. Especially with knee surgery in a week. But when spring in summer comes Im down to ride whenever. Hope to find some good riding buddies. Thanks!
-Kyle

I'm in Catawissa, PA, which is 1.5 hours northwest of Allentown.  Give me a shout if you might be venturing this way.  The country roads around here are uncluttered with cars and have lots of twisties.  I've put 4000 miles on my '92 GS500E and only ridden on the interstate once.

Hey... I'm from the Pottsville area in Schuylkill County. Lots of back roads up my way and it's only 30mins on I-78, or 45mins on Rt-309 from Bethlehem.
Let me know if you go for a ride when it's warmer out.

I live in Levittown, which is 20 miles north of Philadelphia.  I would love to do some riding in a group, but I don't have my license yet.  Taking the MSF in two weeks though.

A few years ago I passed through your town on my way to Buffalo from Bedford, PA.  I remember gawking at the huge refinery.  I have seen ads in motorcycle magazines but I never see that brand oil in stores.
