Hey Seeker, in the latest issue of Rider Magazine there is a nice article and pictures of a ride across Pennsylvania. Thought you might be interested.

I don't get that magazine.....is there an online version?
I honestly don't know, but there probably is on the Rider web site.
You may have to be a subscriber to get at it though.(?)
Not likely they're giving it away for free.
Sometimes the online version will post up stuff from the last Month's issue after subscribers have already read it.
I see they do have a website
There's an older article on it called
Riding the Backroads of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York
And here's one you probably already read:
The Canadian Maritimes

Yes, I've been a subscriber for over 15 years so have seen all of the articles.
I think Rider is one of the better magazines.

I'll try and purchase a copy of it...thanks!
The next time you pass a newsstand, sneak a look before buying - or read it there if the owner isn't looking
Okay.....there aren't many "newsstands" these days!
I guess I was using the term rather loosely. Local lingo.
We still have some small stores here that sell only magazines and newspapers and we still call the newsstands - even though they're a self contained business inside a building.
It looks like it could be a great read all round looking at those two articles AJ just posted up
Rocky,
Do you have a scanner that you could scan the pages of this article and post them like pictures here someplace?

Yes, I can scan the article easily enough, but.....confession time....I still haven't learned how to post a picture here.
Send me your email in a PM and I can send them to you - or I can send them to Dave.
In the meantime, I'll do the scanning.
Rocky was kind enough to scan the pages of his Rider magazine and send me the photos to post-up here:
Love that route 97 pic (last page). It reminds me a little of the Cabot Trail.
On the last page, the picture with the gas pumps is the Quaker Steak & Lube (original) in Sharon, PA.
I go there practically every Wednesday night when the weather is nice for their Bike Nite.
I've been to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania many times biking too. It's about an 1.5 hours ride from here.

It's always nice to see and read about your home area (state or province) from the perspective of other people.
I figured you would be quite familiar with most of the story which is why I brought this subject up.
Here in the east, which was first settled, there is so much history to see and learn in both our countries.

When he talks about the Quaker Steak & Lube in the article he mentions that he inadvertently parked in the section reserved for an "antique" bike show.
They only do that once a Summer, so I know what night he was there and, in fact, my T140 won 2nd place in the British bike class that night.

Isn't that wild!!
you may have rubbed shoulders with the writer and didn't even know it
Too bad he didn't take a picture of the antique bike contest section and put it in his article! My bike may have been shown as part of his article if he had.
As I said the antique bike contest is only held at the last Bike Nite of each season. I won a $25.00 gift card for Quaker Steak & Lube for taking 2nd place in my class.
