    Just pay attention to the Renovo portion of this map...

    Route 144 through the State forest North and South of Renovo is awesome. Make sure you look at Coldersport south through Renovo either there or on the way back. Fun fun fun! Unless you're suspension is set for track that is.

    If you go to Renovo eat at the little 50's themed dinner great food
    White deer motel in montogomery is a cheap but clean place but stop early as the miners and gas workers take up rooms quickly ,,, we were lucky and grabbed the last room and that was around 5 ish
    Fire Road 262 east of Warren is a must too.

    They make a great Philly cheesesteak at Yesterday's.

    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

    In mapsource, load your loops, delete any waypoints you don't want public, click SAVE AS and save it as a GPX file.

    Then upload that file to http://www.fileserve.com/ and post the link here.

    Wellsboro a must and the canyon. From there head on down to York to HD factory tour, also Gettysburg. Coming back head north towards Ellicottville

    I've ridden in many US states and often come back to Pennsylvania. Nice roads, well paved and well marked.

    Check out Titusville and Oil City area.

    Stay away from Bradford PA though, that city is a pit.

    Lol. They serve a great prime rib at the pub, but the city streets were like a black hole sucking you into a roundabout and one way streets. Even my gps got confused.
