Just got back from an awesome weekend in the Poconos at the Whiskey Dick III hosted by Middle of Nowhere SC. Approximately 400 miles ridden for the weekend from upstate NY to Stroudsburg, PA. We took rt. 32-9W-209 due to having some 150's with us. Pretty simple route. Nothing like a windchill of around 10 to 15 degrees but at least it kept us awake. Rally ride day got into the 70's at least.
All in all had a great time with some great scooterists and can't wait for next years event.

Seriously though is the rider with the yellow mp3 a member here. Would love to see some more pics and hear about his paint job and other modifications.

I had so many layers on and was still freezing. Wished I had heated gear.

Sticky, you're not the only one to make that Cliff Clavin remark. I put the pic up on FB and that was one of the first comments. Lol.

Why yes, I am Cliff Clavin!


Did you know that the word "chaps" comes from an old Spanish word, "chaperones" meaning "to care for each leg"?

Believe that and you owe me a beer!
