Gee,
Sounds great Tom!  It almost sounds like western PA where the roads beg to
have signs posted that say- " Triumphs Only" . I'm talking SR 711 out of N.
Maryland into Ohiopyle State Park and Ligonier. An absolutely stunning
stretch of road. I'm actually thinking about getting a wild hair and taking
the old jezebel ( the 'TR6'- not the wife)  to Cumberland, Maryland on the
20th or to Bowie, MD on the 28th of June.
Thanks!
