Hello from the Allentown, PA, area. New to MOA, new to BMWs, and indeed fairly new to motorcycling. I got my license through the MSF training course just two years ago at the tender age of 50+, realizing an old but just never important enough dream. I was riding a mid-size cruiser in my first riding season last year; figured that was a good starter and not to much loss in case of an 'oops'. After covering 3000 incident- and accident-free miles last year, most of it with the missus on the pillion, she judged me sensible and prudent enough in this matter for us to move on to the bike that would take us anywhere (including Patagonia some time the future; maybe...) So when a well equipped 2009 1200GS with only 2K miles on the odo presented itself early this year, basically brand new in and out and at an attractive price, we could not say no. And we love every mile we have traveled on it so far.
If you have suggestions for interesting roads to ride in the Lehigh Valley area, especially within 50 miles or so for easy 0.5 - 1 day trips at the weekend, I would love to know them. Gravel and reasonable dirt roads are fine; serious off-roading is not my thing (not even on the GS). Thanks in advance!
