Australian lost in Lancaster PA
« 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!

You mean LITERALLY an Australian lost in Lancaster PA.  That's pretty wild.  Pete's just playing with your mind.  Might have been a dream.

Didn't an Aussie just post a thread with a link to his blogs saying something about that he was about to tour the US on a BabyB? Same guy maybe?

He's got a lot of peanuts to follow to get back home. Does he know he's made it to the States?   ::)

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...

 You're in the middle of intercourse?
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?

It is the way my generation does things now.  You can Skype with just about anyone now while your doing it.

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