Riding with Spence

[Spence]

 This didn't quit fit in trip reports and wasn't sure if I could just add it to our Vermont trip But thought I would post some pictures that aren't from My phone. Yesterday My wife Rochele,my friend Rashad(or Sorry I'm late and I'm hungry and need Gas), and myself decided to ride down to Allentown to check out a motorcycle gear store.

 



   my point and shoot still needs a little work.















  Rashad, taken from outside ,he just happened to look up from his glove search





  at our lunch stop















  And here are a couple pictures from my last ride up to Welesboro Pa

  At the end of that ride going back down 287 almost to 220 I saw this big black bear running across the field and had to come to a complete stop and wait for him to run right across in front of the one car that was between me and him.

 Not sure if its ok to just add to a "riding around home" type thread, so I guess I will until I'm scolded and corrected  
 But here are a few more pictures.



  the camels on rt 54 just outside Turbotville, can't wait to see how they like snow.





 didn't realize I was being watched by all the Amish in the background until I was done















   And this one only makes sense if "the Darth Peach" means anything to you.

Hey Spence,

     Thanks for posting up the pics, you take some pretty cool ones. I liked the ones on wellsboro, I was there on vacation, it's such a neat town. Take care,

[ConPilot1]

Berry nice! We do have some pretty places in PA. It's not all potholes and shithole dried up coal towns.

I've been to most of the places you show here. Thanks for sharing those. I didn't know there was a restaurant in the Tamaqua trainstation.

It's not all potholes and shithole dried up coal towns.

Mostly, but not all.

Just think 20 years from now we can add a bunch of dried up Natural Gas towns as well.

After the Marcellus shale is tapped out, there's the Utica shale beneath it.

I was getting all excited thinking Triumph had released a RED Tiger.  
Then I saw the second set of shots and realized the color is just off in the first set.

Nice pics...looks like a fun day.   I realize it was not the primary focus of the trip but you mentioned the Cycle Gear store...I noticed recently there was one in my area now.   About 20 minutes away, so I stopped in last week when I was out for a ride.   What a disappointment.   90% Bilt merch.  I was kinda intersted in new Tourmaster Luggage.  Not there.   Checked a couple helmets.   Everything else was cheesy/cheap "leather".  Quite depressing.

Lol, me too. I do love that Tiger though. Thanks for posting.

@shotist. I had the same reaction to the store. On there website they have all the brands I like and wanted to try a few things on for size 90-95% of the store Bilt.
   On another note I wasn't sure of the orange either but since learned to embrace the orange  

[Spence]

Rashad the food looks as good as I remember it. Lol I would definitely eat there again. By the way just don't try to park your bikes on the brick out by the tables if you want to eat here. Somebody tried to get us kickedout BEFORE we ate.

That's the Cycle Gear I shop at. Funny thing is Cycle Gear started out selling many different brands, now they are pushing their Bilt brand, which is crap. It's a shame since I really liked the place until they started pushing cheap low quality merchandise.

Nice pics BTW.
