Hi Donut,

Welcome to KZR!

My father's family is from Mauch Chunk, PA. I spent many summers in the Poconos's back in the day.
My experience is that Pabst beer will rust up the inside of your tank right now, be on your guard.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Bill, I go down to Jim Thorpe quite a bit its a great ride. I'll be posting more pics of my bike soon. Living in PA makes it hard to work on my bike since I don't have a garage. Should be welding in a bracket soon to keep my frame bent to fit my new seat pan over the frame. After that its all smooth running. I miss riding this winter is no fun
