We’re not going to camp this year.
We’re going to meet Sunday morning, and ride to the Norton show.

Sunday, April 24.
8:30am – Meet at Little Susie’s on Belgrade / Leigh.
Be already gassed up before arriving.
We’ll hang at Little Susies for a bit and drink a coffee.
Then on the road by 9:30am.

We’ll take straight highway to the Norton meet.
Prob hang at the meet for an hour or two. And then once we’ve taken it all in, we’ll head out.
I want to do a nice ride from the Norton meet up into the NJ countryside north of where the meet is.
Maybe a ride heading towards “Hillbilly Hall” or “Historic Rocky Hill Inn Tavern” and sit in the sun, drink a beer, or get a bite.
Then do a nice ride home and maybe end at Fishtown Tavern.

Anticipate the day will probably go from 8am until 4pm.
Bring your lady, or come solo. Whatever you wanna do.

We’ve gone to the Norton meet almost every year.
I could only find pics from these previous years.
You’re welcome I make this website not many people check anymore.

• It was all worth it though

Overall – 20 great hours. 1 shitty hour.

Well her she is.  My 1988 BMW r100gspd (i.e. 80gspd replica). I started digging into her last November, and now hundreds of hours later, she is ready to roll! Beside the Paris Dakar make over, the bike has some serious mechanical upgrades.  Most notably the transmission was rebuilt (including adding a circlip to 5th gear). The OEM driveshalf was switched out to the Emerald Island Co’s serviceable / rebuildable unit.  The front brake was switched out with a Harrison Billet 6 with stainless steel lines.  New TCK80s were mounted and all electric connectors were cleaned and greased.  I also switched over the heated grips from my r80rt.  Lastly the taillight was upgraded to an ultra bright LED version + a lot of heat shrink cable work to tidy up the lines. Lots more info and post to come! But here is a taste for now! #bmw #bmwr100gs #r80gs #r80gspd #r100gspd #r100gs

Washington Crossing, just east of New Hope PA, Sunday – April 15th at 10am.
Below black/white pictures are from 2010.

Rain backup plan:

• If its legit planned to start raining Sat night or Sunday before noon, this is the new plan
• Still meet Saturday, same time
• We’ll ride to New Hope area, get Dilly Burger, ride around… get beers, then come back Saturday at some point.

Here’s our plan if you want to join us:

• Saturday
• meet at La Colombe on Frankford ave
• MEET at 3pm – drink a coffee
• LEAVING and on road at 3:30 with or without you
• Get gas BEFORE coming to la colombe
• camping at a secret spot just past New Hope
• dinner, Dilly burgers on way to campsite
• bring your own Whiskey and plan to keep it out of sight if park ranger shows up
• wake up Sunday, do a short ride, before heading to Norton meet
• hang out at Norton meet for a bit, then head back to city
• Back in city by 2pm Sunday.

Alex somehow managed to piece back together his Shovelhead with just enough light left to find us at the camp site. From there, his bike managed to piss oil and brake fluid on anyone riding behind him the rest of the trip. Hahaha

Camp ground was great except for getting lectured by the go hard Paul Blart mall-cop Park Ranger that made us dump out most of our beer. This is why everyone needs to carry a big flask.

Night time temps dropped into the low 30’s. Dcar did not handle that well sleeping with only a Mexican blanket.

In the morning we hit up this little deli in Point Pleasant for breakfast. Relaxing with a coffee on their porch was awesome. Great little place.

We actually made it to the show on-time this year. The show had a huge turnout and we got to see lots of cool and rare bikes as well as some old friends.

Blasted back to Philly and ended with a beer at Fishtown Tavern. Overall, it was a great start to the riding and camping season.

Too much different plans going on for this. This is what I’m doing if anyone wants to join…

Ed and I are going to be camping at Deer Wood Campground in the Tohickon Valley Park. We’ve camped here before and it’s nice low key spot and I don’t expect it to be busy. It’s $20 a site for 6 people. However, last time I camped there early in the season there wasn’t any rangers around to collect the 20 bucks.

Weather is supposed to be clear. High of 65 with a low of 40.

Meet up at C&S, we’ll be leaving at 5pm. It’s roughly an 1.5 hr ride to the campsite. We’ll be stopping at Dilly’s Corner for dinner and should get to the campsite with enough light to setup camp and start a fire. Pack your own booze of choice. In the morning, there’s a little deli called Point Pleasant Food Store to stop at for a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The show is a 20min ride from the campsite. I plan to be back in Philly by 1pm.

Anyone reading this is welcome to join. Just make sure your jalopy is good to go.

GOOGLE MAP.

If you haven’t been to the Norton show before take a look at the map. There are 2 Washington Crossing parks. One in PA and one in NJ. The show is on the PA side.

Remember that time a picture of Nate’s bike parked at the Norton show got shit talked on the internet?
