Would love to, your a little too far though 2hrs 44 Mins. The pine barrens are less than 2 hrs.
Perhaps we could meet near Stroudsburg, I have heard of some trails near there. Somebody mentioned the Easton area.

I am down for easton or stroudsburg. Jsac if I get hooked up with a trailer I would love to come up and ride, when the weather gets nicer I may also be up to the ride up there on the klx.

"TRUCKMAN" rides around the Easton area.
2k1w=no$, do you have some knowledge of the local trails?

welp, the first thing we need to do is agree on a place to ride.. then we can look at a timeframe.. i know that in this area we can have a full day riding of diff trails easy. from where i live running north theirs an old railroad bed that can be ridden all the way to NY if desired.. plus all the trails covering the mountains from forest city to the I80 split. i dont know the trails as well further down the valley from me, but it wouldnt be a big deal to just hit em and see where we end up. so far from the replies im guessin theirs no1 that lives relatively close to me (within an hours drive). personaly im hesitant about doin any highway riding to get somewhere on this bike. everytime i think about being passed by a tractor trailer i picture a leaf in the wind for some reason.[:@]

I live in Mountain Top and would like to ride. I just moved here from Oregon a month ago and have been looking for someplace to ride. Highway 81 is a bit much for the little green thing, especially with the 13t sprocket and trucks doing 75 mph.I can toss it on the back of my pickup and meet up somewhere in your area.

Drop me an email sometime rtaylor9@ptd.net

chasin my friends on quads
...LOL ....they are chasing me now......
I did 57 miles of all off road down in Ashland today and They can be left behind if you wish.The D606's do leave much to be desired in the confidence department but hey,they are stockers what do you expect?......I have over 700 miles of trail mapped in the Ashland area if you guys want to meet and ride some time.I usually just load the bike in my truck and haul it there as I run a 14/49 setup on mine and it'll run the road but she's turnin 6500 rpm at about 55-60 or so.......not real friendly for road use but she'll do it .......I have a friend that lives up your way...Justus to be exact and he rides Green Grove and knows of the railbed you talk of.....I could always come up north as it's no biggie...I used to run the blacktop plant in Dunmore so I have it down to a science on getting there fast.I'll throw up some pics in this post instead of starting a new one as you guys are the fellows from my area......

Loaded up and ready to go home....A few broken parts and a lost screw.....but I made it.I crashed once (not bad for the first time on a bike offroad in 5 years) in some really soft stuff and the front end washed out and i went down .....lot's 'o coal mud and i had a big smile....was it worth it?....yep...The atv won't be going out for a long time,I can say that.

if ya have a way to haul ur machine up this way itd be easier on me.. im without a means to haul mine. nice pics by the way.. that coal terrain looks so familiar.. im sick of ridin on coal.
lol
alot of the trails that run the eastern side of the Casey Highway are straight dirt with some rocks thrown in for some added fun.. theirs a set of pole lines that run over the archbald mountain into mount cobb that are fun also.. tons of trails up this way. ill watch this thread the next week.. im half tempted to do this earlier than june maybe in a week or 2? best bet for me would be a fri. or sat. lemme know what works for u guys.
