@FreshOldTaco what cheesesteak place are you/we thinking? My guestimates were showing 3h ride through Gettysburg and York to West Chester.. But I dont know if thats where the cheesesteak place is.

pats, genos & dalessandros are the spots to try iirc

 

I think dalessandros is where the other meets have been

 

yea and i think pats and genos is cool because they are across the street from one another, so you try both at the same time!

 

Anyone else getting pelted with cicadas? They've just started "blooming" around here. Went for a ride after replacing my blown out valve cover gasket (happened while at my track day and was totally embarrassing), plugs, and air filter. I remember thinking "Wow, that was a BIG bug!" a few times, totally forgetting it was cicada season. Got home and my helmet, jacket, and front fairing looked like I'd been splashed with cicada smoothie.

 

nope, not yet. My buds and I were just talking about it. Not looking forward to that. Definitely full face all season. Can’t imagine what that might feel like at speed!

 

Hmm good question...Delassandros is closest to me about 15 miles east. That is the one where we met and Chubby's is across the street. Pats/Genos is a little further near center city.

I'm down for whatever, we can pick one of those spots or meet at my place then figure it out. @w.adventures what route are you planning to take home?

 

Are you riding the RR down here??

Id hope he wouldn't want to take 95, and come with us back through York and Gettysburg, and down rt15 south

 

Got my headlight guard on. And apparently there are no bulbs to change since they're LED but the headlight unit is upwards of $600 so I may add some extra film to the lens itself. (This pic is with the brights on)

 

not sure if i have that one in me, what day is the meet up?

 

Yeah it's a hike, we have family in the Bay Shore area. Meeting on Saturday June 12th

 

ill see if i can make it out there, might just pull the cap off the taco and load it up on the bed

 

Sounds good, and you could leave the bike here if you want to lighten the load for the trip home

Interesting... so they cancel the r6 and come out with a straight 2cyl r7 which would be better for the street. Wonder how the numbers compare for power.

 

i believe its the same engine as the super tenere

 

some info on the cp2

It's like an MT-07 with fairings from what I read

 

I don’t know that area! Don’t think I can make it home in one day if I go that way.
