FrankiieTrees, Never could figure where they got the "Southern" part from. As for standoffish,,prob feels like an invasion force has landed on the beach!

Back at ya SolarBill.

Hello!! from Syracuse.

I think we have been pretty socialble trying to keep up with all the new members we have recieved as of late.

Hello from the extreme northwestern corner of Pennsylvania.

Hello from south Mississippi via Kandahar, Afghanistan!

Hey Edge! I called Jamestown home till I developed an allergy to snow. Down here in GA we get plenty of winter riding days mixed in with the winter misery.

Welcome from the 'at large' member to the best damn biker site on this here web thing.

Jeeze savage, I thought you were over in SW NY. Elmira, I have ridden there many times, usually heading up from the Troy-Mansfield, PA area. Beautiful country up there.

Out in the sticks of NY here. Lost in the hills lol
Just above Sayre PA. East of Elmira, West of Binghamton, South of Ithaca & Syracuse.

Hell I thought a lot of the peoples have been great here...Not just the dislocated 2% but the all ready members... Maybe they just like my name??? You know it does make me sound all warm and fussy,lol.

Welcome from w central Ohio.......a N.Y. transplant here.

Peace

@MSGBIGG69, Thank you for the welcome. THANK YOU FOR BEING IN AFGHANISTAN! You more than deserve your up coming R&R!

@Movintons,,,,I see you all have had some crap down there too you guys don't use salt though. I am starting to get the same allergy. Actually so far winter has been mild. I rode once this January but the salt just got bad. I put it away for now.

The Geography of New York State:

The NY/PA border runs straight East/West along the 42nd parallel from just east of Erie to the Delaware River.  The border areas of NY & PA are referred to as “The Twin Tier Area”. This border area in NY, Jamestown, Elmira, Binghamton, is referred to as “The Southern Tier” and of course this places the “Southern Tier” of NY  NORTH of the “Northern Tier of PA.

Route 14 about bisects this straight East/West border hence I live in South Central New York State.

The really southern area of NY, below the Tappan Zee Bridge, is referred to as “Downstate”.

Everybody “Downstate” refers to everyplace north of the Tappan Zee Bridge” as “Upstate”. People in the “Southern Tier” think “Upstate” begins at the Barge Canal but people north of Canal, Rochester, Syracuse & Utica think “Upstate” is the Watertown area, north of Tug Hill.

All clear now?

p.s.: Only really old people will appreciate this. There used to be a really popular, wonderfully drafted comic strip,” Lil Abner” , where Al Capp brilliantly picked apart the pretensions of the elites & the self limitations of the poor. People usually thought it was supposed to be Appalachia  but Al Capp was actually thinking of Upstate NY
