I'll be there.  If anyone's interested in a ride-out, we could say stands-up at 10:30, ride, then eat lunch somewhere.  I am itching to get my Tiger up on Rt 125 - we could eat in Pine Grove, about an hour North, then take 125 to Shamokin.  Or we could head another way, perhaps East to French Creek for those coming from that direction, depending on interest and available time.

Just FYI - last weekend 125 was gravel city near the switchbacks.  There were a couple places where it looked like the roadway had been stripped off in about 2' wide section across the width of the whole road, and filled in with gravel.  Kind of like a cattle crossing.  The turns themselves were OK.

I believe you.  It's a shit road in sections, gravel and tar snakes galore, but it's still fun riding and the traffic is usually light.

I first 'discovered' it as a car road in my WRX.  The hairpin up/down sections are a blast.  I had the pleasure of attacking it in a rented Porsche Boxster S for a day, and it was as close to automotive nirvana as I've come.

On the bike the crappy pavement prevents me from loving it.  I like it, but don't love it.

Hey - I've got a WRX, too!   Bigok  White hatchback, 2002.  I never take it out on pleasure drives though - that's what the bike is for.   Banana

Crappy pavement is supposed to be the Multistrada's home territory!   :pokestick:   Razz

I had a 2002 sedan, in WRC Blue.  I wish it had snowed more, the car was a blast in the white stuff.  Ultimately it was too small and noisy to end up as a keeper.  I've driven the newer ones, and the reduced lag is very welcome.

That had to hurt - at least I got to trade the WRX in on a 5-series  Bigsmile

Believe me, I'd love to get out with you guys on a Sunday again, but the schedule is getting tighter and tighter lately.  May 27th is the only Sunday that's sort of open until the middle of June, and that's during Memorial Day weekend.

Looks like I have alot of people to meet up with, but no one to ride in with...

My local peeps need to get their priorities straight Bigsmile

My usual route is 40 to the DMB, to 141, to Barley Mill rd, to 82, to Strasburg rd, to 10, to 340, to 897, then 322. Anybody who wants to meet along the way PM me by 7 a.m. tomorrow. I'll either be on the white, turquoise, magenta, blue VTR 250, blue cb900 custom or the Blackbird. As of now I'll be on the VTR.
