Hi from the Pocono Mts of Ne Pa.
Retired LEO, like Bluegrass and probable older than 2 or 3 of you stacked together. Bought, rode and sold many bikes over the years including Kawasaki 350 Bighorns, Hondas, CZ's, and Ducati. Did a little M/C and club events but had more fun with dirt riding and hill climbing. I have a street bike, a Kawasaki 800cc Vtwin which I still ride occasionally. I'm thinking of selling that one and getting my last dirt bike and some of these China bikes look pretty good in the videos I've watched. Two years ago my son and I took an Extreme Dirt Bike ride in the Mojave Desert and had a great 2 stroke ( fast as heck ) that we took on five different race courses in the desert including one hill climb. Finished all five courses. That was on the bucket list for a long time.
Sorry for the long intro...

Being from upstate NY,...the Pocono's are near my home territory. Been to a few races at Pocono Raceway (motorcycle road races,..drag races...) nice area.
Like you,...I'm done with the larger, heavy, street bikes....and also went with a new China dual sport for my riding....

The drag race events we participated in were in the early seventies. The events were held at the oval track,..with the "strip" set up on the long straight-a-way in front of the main grand stands. We ran our 350 Yamaha modified there. fun days....
As senior a rider as you?....my first bike was a 1965 Suzuki K-15 80 cc Hillbilly...then graduated up to a 1969 Yamaha DS6C 250 high-pipe scrambler...have had several motorcycles ever since.

Used to work P.T. as a contract guard for DHS in the Federal building in WB about 7 years ago. Once you get out of the cities there are lots of nice country roads and scenery. Wisconsin seems to be a country paradise of sorts. Didn't quite make the Dells as yet but its on the bucket list.
