Unk Greg Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Fall is here and that means the catalogs showing up in the mailbox. Is it too early for Christmas wish lists? Flipping thru a catalog and I see a reference to a magazine named, RoadRunner, Motorcycle Touring and Travel (www.roadrunner.travel) and they have useful articles - "Storing your bike for winter" AND then I see an article on Shamrock Tours. Surprise B-Day gift of tour for hubby (couple from Butler, PA)...and they was in the neighborhood....visited 9/23/09. I wonder where I was? Lotsa pictures and I smiled as I recognized spots pictured even before reading the caption. Helmick Covered Bridge, Malabar Farm, Mohawk Dam and good ole Roscoe Village. For you tecnologically advanced GPS download too!Article attached: Check out the site for pics- they found the great backroads (including the off road spots).

We collaborated on choosing a home base for this shamrock (Coshocton, Ohio) and the riding areas, and we scheduled the trip for mid-June when the roads would be dried out from spring rains and all of the plant life would be in full bloom.
