Barbequed Spyder.

Rode to Johnstown to Thunder in the Valley Friday, where Can-Am was set up offering test rides and all the information about their new machines. No idea what started the fire, but someone was test riding one and it caught on fire. The demo rides were done in a parking lot in view of the sales people, so nothing out of the ordinary caused it to start burning. No one was hurt except for Can-Am's business one would assume. I don't imagine anyone else wanted to ride or talk about buying one after that.   Posted by Doug.

I couldn't make the Smoke Out this year but was missing seeing everyone, so I decided to ride down to Wytheville, Virginia Wednesday with Keith and Dave to hang out with the gang for the night. What a great idea. The weather was perfect, and the riding was great. We took our time on the way down and stopped by Summersville Lake. Wow is all that can be said, made me want a boat. The whole area is beautiful, I recommend stopping if you're ever near and just take a break and check out the beautiful view from the overlook. On to Wytheville, where we arrived first, quickly followed by Jeff who rode his Pan 325 miles to get there. Next thing you know, the crew started rolling in and after a terrible dinner, the parking lot turned into one big party. The next day it was time to get the rest of the bikes out and ready for the ride to Rockingham. After awhile, I figured I better head for home, so after some goodbyes, and lots of trying to get me to go with them, I was off for home. It was a great ride and I know they're having fun there, no matter what Keith tells me.                     Posted by Doug.

Weekend getaway.

Bull's Tavern in Ligonier.

Some of the stuff you will see riding Rt.30, the Lincoln Highway.

Very nice place in Chambersburg. Great air conditioning that was a wecome relief from the heat, and ice cold Pabst.

Haunted Cashtown Inn.

Really cool Art Deco service station in Bedford.

Maybe the best breakfast you'll ever get.

This was our first time here, but we will definitely stop in anytime we are near.

Jen and I rode Big Red over to Gettysburg this weekend for a little fun. We stopped in at all our favorite spots and just had fun in general. Gettysburg is a great little town to hang around, some great places to eat and some really cool bars to hang out in. I would definitely recommend going and taking Rt. 30 across thru the mountains. There are some great lookout places along the way and some other cool old time stuff to see from when Rt. 30 was one of the main Rts. to get across the state. Scooter's Mountain Side Tavern was a first time stop for us, and it's a very cool place, it reminded us of what a biker friendly bar used to be like before every bar hung a Bikers welcome sign. Very friendly people not trying to out biker everyone' just people being who they are, no weekend warriors.                          Posted by Doug.

New member of the family.

In her new home.

I love the speedometer.

Some of the extras.

Jen and I added to the family Saturday, we brought home a '64 FL. The bike is an ex Dayton Ohio police bike and it came with some very neat original paperwork and some of the police stuff, the unit number is still showing on the windshield. The bike was bought from the city for 900 dollars in 1971 and kept in great shape for many years.We are the third owners since its stint with the police and hopefully the last till our nephew puts us in a home ( please pick a nice one). We feel very fortunate for the things in our lives and this bike is no exception.                                         Posted by Doug.
