Keith Code is the man.......:D I recommend reading "Twist of the Wrist" (Keith Code wrote it) to anyone who rides a motorcycle, sportbike or cruiser. Great information.

A friend of mine lives about 45 minutes from Watkins Glen. (Elmira, NY). I'm only 3 hours from there. That's another infamous track. Mid-Ohio is another.....:p The area around Watkins Glen is a terrific place to ride, with scenic views and wineries all over the place....
 
Dave... Have a son who is a year away from being a history teacher. One of our ideas is to ride during the summertime to historical places, where he will take photos and videos, bringing them back to the class, building a library of content over time, supplementing the textbooks and bringing a personal p-o-v. You're near ground zero of some places we want to see, including Gettysburg.
Let me know when you're going to do this. I can either meet up with you, or at least give you an idea of where to ride/see to make it worth your while.

Don't count out the Jim Thorpe area, which is where the movie "The Molly Maguires" was made about, depicting Asa Packer and the coal mines the Irish worked in, in Carbon County, PA. I live 10 minutes from Mauch Chunk, now called Jim Thorpe, PA, (After the athlete) and the scenic views there are amazing.
