I have plans to go to Philly for Memorial Day weekend, and will most likely stop for a couple days in State College Pa to see some old friends and see what they have done with the campus (PSU grad 2001).
I just wanted to post in here to say HI and invite myself to ride with all you guys.. Couple rides that are good,
Quaker Steak and Lube bike night (1,000s of bikes and good food and women), There are also some real good places at Penn State but I would have to see if I could remember how to get to them..
Anyways guys, if your all up for meeting up then I think it would be awsome to stroll around Philly or Pittsburgh, a bunch of us on our R1s... Let me know what you think...

mental note to self, need to visit the ole alma matter soon.
BTW, my sister goes to Clairon. I usually ride up there to have lunch with her. So if you see a Silver R1 ripping around on either a saturday or sunday this upcoming fall it'll probably be me. LooneyR1 06-05-2004, 01:20 PM no kidding,
my sister goes to clarion as well... hahah be carefull around that place man, the cops are thick no adays..

sorry i work full time and i'm working on my master's degree also. Anyhow, riding is usually limited to the weekends. but when I'm out, then it's on. 400 milers. :rock head over to www.goldentriangleriders/forums or www.steelcityriders.com for more people in western pa. :thumbup -O-P-U-S- 06-23-2004, 06:44 PM For anyone interested-
I am putting a ride together for Sat 9/26. The ride will start at Montgomeryville cycle in AM and will go into the Tinicum/Nockamixion area of bucks county. The roads will vary between country staight-aways and twisites. There are already a handful of riders attending. If anyone wants to attend just PM me and I will respond with time confirmation. This is a good oppurtunity for area riders to learn a pretty good riding route.
-Dave r1blinkandgone 07-21-2004, 11:48 AM Lansdale here. I am riding pretty much everyday. Anyone going to bike fest down at cecil raceway. http://www.doublelyteposse.com/events.html
also I want to see how many sportsbikes we can get to go to lansdale bike night.
http://www.bluecometmc.com/bike_night_info.htm
It would be cool to get together with everyone to go riding.
Oh opus I ride up and down north 309 quite a bit and have ridden with a few other r1's so that might have been me a couple months back. -O-P-U-S- 07-21-2004, 01:31 PM yea, we probably seen each other. Lansdale bike night is a must, Ive been there the last few years. I'm going to Deals gap and riding the blue rigde this week, thurs-sat, so maybe ill catch up with you afterwards.
-Dave r1blinkandgone 07-22-2004, 05:59 AM have fun I did deals last weekend. -O-P-U-S- 07-28-2004, 04:44 PM Did killboy.com get any pics of ya? They were there last weekend when I was there. That trip was awesome, cant wait to do it again! r1blinkandgone 07-29-2004, 08:07 AM glad you had fun at deals. I spoke to the guy in charge of bike night about getting bikes together and he said they would be glad if we got more sportsbikes to show up but he said the cops will be out in force to watch for the wheelies and burnouts and shit like that. I would like to get as many together as we can for bike night. It would be cool to get a bunch together for some riding and then barbecue before bike night but I dont have a place to do that. Is there anyone out there that would be interested in getting together sept 11 for a bike night and some riding before hand

Safe place would be preferable and no more then 30 minute commute to phoenixville.. thanks again! r1randy 07-31-2004, 08:28 AM Erie,Pa. the benefit of NY,and Ohio twistys in a few minutes, Not to bad a place to ride. -O-P-U-S- 08-01-2004, 03:59 PM Looney,
