Title: Australian lost in Lancaster PA
Post by: Green1000S on May 21, 2015, 04:33:31 AM: Met a lost motorcyclist yesterday, traveling on a Red Guzzi. (Breva?) He had minimal gear (regular jacket and one bag) and was lost on Lancaster roads, we guided him back to RT23, so he could continue towards Philly.
What was cool, his license plate stated VIC. White plate. Then it hit me, he was from Australia!!! With a Guzzi. He said he knows Pete, but is from different part of island. He wished to continue, de we did not have much time to talk. How cool is that? He's long way from home!

He was looking at Pittsburg area map and asked if he made it to Pennsylvania...
So he must not care too much about roadmaps. He just wanted to get towards NE and Philly area.
Funny guy, he had a windbreaker type jacket and old rope tied around his body, probably so that the wind won't flap the loose jacket all the time. Regular jeans and workboots. All gear in one plastic bag tied on the tail of the bike.
Minimalist for sure. I feel bad now loading 20lbs of tools and spare parts on my Quota...

Is that the one I'm thinking of?
And you are trolling the internet during intercourse.
You my friend are doing it wrong.
Or was it a "solo" event with internet for inspiration?

;D

It is Intercourse PA up the road is Blue Ball(s) PA, which does not sound as appealing.
