    Hey guys - It was heading over to my friend Dan's house in the Shoebox last weekend , and it was such a nice day (low 40's , but clear & dry) that I decided to shoot a video . I figured I might as well upload it and share it with you guys . Seeing people's drive videos always gives me inspiration , so I hope it does the same for someone as well . Not the world's best video (I was just holding the camera) , but at least the dumb camera worked for a few minutes (long story) , LOL !! If you're wearing headphones , you can hear the exhaust OK . I'll set up a better video in the future , but for now , Enjoy the fall ride !

    Yea, it's a pretty nice area. Still areas that that don't have McMansion farms where REAL farms used to be ... For now :(

    That's certainly possible :)

    The split windshield is one of my favorite parts too. It's so nice looking through new gl*** as well. Glad that old is never clear, lol.

    When you get it rolling, shoot a video !

    Man, not a pot hole in the road. Can't go 50 ft. around here without one. The whole state like that? Nice countryside too

    I bought a full set of new gl*** for the car (except the rear) because every piece was jacked-up in some way. WELL worth it !! It's nicer than looking out the front of my O.T. daily ride, lol !

    There are plenty of potholes here in PA . Just turns out that section is pretty smooth. I live in a pretty rural area of southeast PA, so the scenery is pretty nice. Great for riding motorbikes too (my other love) . The winters are killing me though ... Hate 'em !

    The mufflers have a nice rumble, but totally tolerable. I didn't want it too loud, since i wanted to drive 66 with it (ironically dream shot to hell). It'll get quieter once the sound deadener and carpet are installed.


    It's a pretty nice area. Very rural, but in no time, i can be in a bigger city , like Philly or Harrisburg.
    New England was pretty nice when i was up there ...


    No probs - ride along again anytime, LoL !
    No, not related to Ray. That's just a nickname, BTW. It's the lead character in my favorite book series by Burt Levy, starting with "the Last Open Road".
