"AMA member Dan Morton and riding partner Mike Garber at Whaleback in Trevorton, Pa. Whaleback is an extremely rare geological formation called a syncline that resembles it's sea creature name. Stunning, rare and absolutely huge, it is tough to find and deep in the woods on the property of Reading Anthracite, who sells passes for $100 a year to riders. There aren't exactly signs pointing to it. It dawned on us that if we did not ride, we would have lived 100 years and never seen this." - Dan Morton of Mechanicsburg, Pa.

  • "My son, Richard (Sharky), age 4, on a PW 50 -- you can see the happiness from a day in the woods in his smile. We live in Guilford, Conn., and love to ride the woods. Just like the rest of the country it is difficult to find places to ride. We joined the Pathfinders Motorcycle Club, NETRA and AMA last year which has helped. I find most people don't understand about motorcycles whether on- or off-road but I do see the popularity among women increasing. There is nothing we'd rather do on a Saturday or Sunday then ride. The self-esteem it has brought my two boys is incredible.It is truly a family sport. We just bought an older Southwind RV our goal is to trailer the bikes out West and live out our version of 'On any Sunday.'" - Jan Russo of Guilford, Conn.
