Not a bad description tho he's clearly a tyro at distance but damn he's got nice places to ride so figured it might motivate someone to get out there.

Gotta say there were a few moments on our last ride through PA that this first section reminded me of....perfect day, no traffic and in the mood on 144.....and it was drop dead gorgeous with the sun filtering through the trees....


[h=2]Man, Motorcycle, Macadam: On the Road with Ian Gill[/h]By Ian Gill, 16 Aug 2014, TheTyee.ca

There comes a point -- somewhere on a winding stretch of road, maybe hemmed by trees on one side and a cascading river on the other -- when you feel like you are floating, almost flying, and the wind stops battering you about the head and torso and starts to wash over and envelop you in a sort of existential massage.
If you are lucky, you find a place, a mere pocket of time when you lean into and out of every curve like a snowboarder, a glorious conspiracy of torque, tarmac and tension that feeds a conceit that you have limitless momentum, that the highway was built just for you and it will feed you forever.
And then you snap out of your reverie.
It could be a truck blast that almost knocks you off the road; a deer that's chosen to graze on asphalt as you round a corner at speed; another bike that overtakes you by surprise; a rock fall or a series of potholes that forces you to slow down; the fuel warning light coming on sooner than you'd bargained for.
