Relaxing Scenic Ride Along PA-NJ Border

Motorcycles are for….
Going on some roads you've never ridden…
Seeing some places you've never seen…
Eating somewhere you've never eaten…
Stuff like that.

Enjoy a ride along the Delaware River on the PA-NJ border.
Going to visit Easton PA in the center of it's Historic Downtown District. (also home to the Crayola Crayon factory)

Gonna eat some quality food (all have at least 4/5 Yelp stars)
Ride some quality scenic roads ( PA611, PA32, NJ29, NJ513 )
And oh yeah, - have fun on my bike.

Weather dependent. might push date into next week.

Why Easton PA....?

No reason.... it was the closest decent city around the roads I want to ride. PA 611 and 32, NJ 29 are listed as nice scenic MC roads.

Easton has a nice downtown Historic District. Easton was an important military center during the American Revolutionary War. Easton was one of the first three places the Declaration of Independence was publicly read (along with Philadelphia and Trenton). It is claimed that the Easton Flag was flown during that reading, making it one of the first "Stars and Stripes" to fly over the colonies. This flag, which is known to date to the War of 1812 currently serves as Easton's municipal flag.

Also home to the Crayola Crayon Factory.
