Are you thinking about going, Jerry? Finger lakes is a great area starting with the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY. The wineries alone are reason enough to tour the area.

Come on and ride with us Bubba, there are 4 to 6 of us leaving Savannah Wednesday, the first. We're going to jump on the BRP at Ashville then take the BRP to Fancy Gap VA and spend Wednesday night. Thursday we'll take US 219 in West Virginia to Bedford, PA. Friday we'll take PA 144 to New York and pull into the rally mid afternoon. Erb has a motel room at the Seneca Lodge if you don't want to camp.

If you guys are more concerned with the ride then the destination, I could meet you in S Central Pa and give you a day and a half of some of PA's finest, before heading to Watkins Glen. As long as you like small, tight and twisty, you will be entertained!

Richard, if I decide to tag along, should I ride the re-suspensioned GS or the Road Tank?

Richard, we'll be coming into PA on US220 and spending Thursday night in Bedford, PA (US220 and I-99/I-70-76).
Is that anywhere near you?
Bubba, meet us in Ashville for lunch Wednesday and ride with us.

The 650 would be perfect for the roads we'll be taking.

I am near Rochester NY, about an hour and a half from the rally, but know central PA back roads almost as well as I do those in NC, Dee will vouch for my addiction to the tight and twisty road knowledge. Any excuse to ride the area is all I need to make a 2 or 3 day run in PA.

Like I said if you are not in a hurry and want some fun on the way, I could pencil it in.
