Come ride on PA's rolling countryside roads and see the beautiful vintage airplanes at the museum. For those that weren't there before, there is an outdoor shower to use which is pretty convenient. There are also some other attractions nearby including a miniature town at http://roadsideamericainc.com. This is a minimalist camping spot so grab your tent and your favorite libation and come hang out with us! $55 includes Saturday night dinner and camping fees. Please don't arrive before noon on Friday. Day passes and dinner vouchers will be available for those who only want to stop in for the day too!

The bike is in great condition, but over the last two years life and work have kept me from riding enough to justify keeping it, and this bike deserves to be with someone who will enjoy it more regularly. I am the third owner and bought it with 45,950 miles from Chris Kennedy in January 2018. Chris kept the bike up well with regular services, oil and filter changes about every 3500 miles plus continuous gearbox, final drive, brake fluid changes etc., but I'm sad to say I?ve put just over 1000 miles on it since then. The odometer is currently at 47,006 miles. The bike has been garage kept, battery kept on a trickle when not in use, and gas winterized each year. Had it out for a brief ride this weekend to confirm it's in decent, ridable condition, though at this point it probably needs a new set of tires and a service before taking it out for regular riding. The add-ons and extras make this bike. It has a number of nice upgrades including a BMW GPSv4 with custom windshield mount, cell phone handlebar mount, and a custom fabricated luggage rack. A comprehensive list of those changes is attached. Here's a link to some photos of the bike: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GzZcfXp76f8ViuCg7 I'm flexible on price, expecting that the new owner will want to update the tires and give it a once over before any real riding. Asking $6,500 for anyone on the list or friends in the region. I live on the east side of Baltimore City, in Highlandtown. Email or call if you'd like to come take a look and we can arrange a time.
