Regester for REUSETHEBASE.COM voice a real desire and I will push as hard as I can to get something going with the Horsham Land Reuse Authority. I have been in the ear of my local state representative, and the congressman for the reigon is regestered on the forum also.

Really cold is only relative DW. :-D :-D :-D

Could be fun.

Those of us with Canadian KPH speedometers just multiply by .6 for a fast and relatively accurate MPH reading.

That would be kool 124mph = 200kph. maybe an almost green hat? I could skip across the river and visit some long lost relitives. BTW it's not that bad a drive from NC. I-95 is the highway and the speed limit on it. :-D

"I-95 is the highway and the speed limit on it."  Hunh?  Not on the parts I've been on.  I don't know if we ever got over about 50 mph.  Traffic -- way too much of it.

And then, for the folks with US speedometers, most likely the speedo in the car/truck is marked in both miles and kilos/hour.  Sit down in the seat, look for the 200 k -- and right next to it will be the mph equivalent.  No math required.

Mr. Slim, sorry I was referring to the section that runs through the wide open south down here in Carolina. It's been a long while since I've been to the northern reaches.

Unh, no -- we didn't go south -- but got on directly east from Maxton and drove into central VA.  There were some stretches where there wasn't a lot of traffic, but mostly it was pretty crowded.

And then -- we're not fast on the highways and byways, anyway - so maybe you would have decided to go faster than we were moving.  Whatever. . .

This would be a great facility if it could get worked out.  Easy access off of I-95 and PA Turnpike.  Plenty of places to eat and sleep very close to this facility.  Currently being used so the asphalt is in good shape.  The facility has always been very well maintained.  :cheers:

Sounds great, but we would have to pass. The way our bikes are built now we are not making power till 1/4 mile mark.  I don't think gearing would overcome it.  May come watch though.
