Default Hello from Pennsylvania.

HI guys.

Bought my first Bonneville last January ('05) after wanting one for many years now. Bought a 9 month old '04 SE at my local dealership...just crazy about the car.

It'* still under warranty, so I'm not sure what modifications I can make to it, but I wanted to find out what information on the subject there was to be found, and I wound up here. Been perusing some of the topics, looks like a great Board. Glad to be here, and I hope y'all don't mind a beginner-level question every now and then.

where in PA are you from exactly? I used to live near philly, and there are a bunch of other members a few hours from there.

Thanks, guys.


To answer Corvettecrazy'* question, I'm in Doylestown, about 1/2 hour N.W. of Philly. Been here 34 years now.


And thanks for the sig-line tip. Will do.

no sh*t....I lived in doylestown. I was between 313 and 413 off Coldspring creamery.

edit if you have been there that long then you will know where I live by the fact that I was right down the road from where burness (sp?) built his house. actually in the neighbor hood where his sidekicks brother lived.

Well, let'* see...the corner of 313 and CSC road is close to the Tileworks and Fonthill....and the corner of 413 and CSC road is where the District Court is located....I know because I had to go there many times to pay speeding tickets when I was a lead-foot teenager.


As for Burness, I'm afraid I don't get the reference. But to prove my Doylestown lineage, I was born in Doylestown Hospital (the old one which is now a nursing home, not the new one on rt. 202), and I can still remember Key Beverages, the A&P across from the bowling alley (long gone) and the Acme (still there), and the Diner on 202 (which is now an Indian-owned cigar shop) just across from Fagan & Fagan'* and right up the street from Herb'* Hobbie Shop (which is now IN the old Fagan & Fagan building) when it was still a diner, but just barely.


So, this Burness...what'* the story?

he'* the d-bag who started building the first developments. right around doylestown.

I know all the places you are talking about. I guess we will have to meet up next time I am in town.

202 bypass...mmm lots of good races when on there. Although since mid last summer they have put cops on it.
