I live in Philly, I would say get some good all season tires and a big jacket for the winter. Apart from that you should be fine. Oh I hope your car isn't lowered cause PA doesn't have the best road due the bad weather.

Im in harrisburg....The roads suck here...but Ive seen worse and G-Rider35 knows there "trying" to fix them....(for the past eh 7 years..lol)
All in all, you will get snow, just get some good tires and you should be fine...

We need to schedule a meet locally down the road....Havent heard of any in PA other than out in Pittsburgh

Moving to Pa., go back to stock height and when looking for a place to live make sure you get the garage. I wouldn't want to live anywhere without my "Man Cave!"

I live about 45 mins north of Scranton in Binghamton,NY. The roads in general suck. Drive back and forth a few times a month. I81 can be a minefield of potholes. I'm driving my G now with all the snow, get a good set of winter tires and you'll be set... unless you have never driven in snow before.

Yeah, I'm outside of Philadelphia myself. The roads are ***.. I sold my bike due to it. Only roads you can safely ride on anymore are toll roads.

Other than that I really don't mind the weather change, we pretty much get the best of each season. Hot summers and cold winters. Just watch for potholes and don't expect PennDot to do much road maintenance.

I'm in the lehigh valley and i agree with everyone else. I'm runnin Tein S techs with an N1 lip and still haven't bent one of my axis rims or scraped the front. Just have to be ready to swerve all the time, and only take known non-pothole routes when you learn them lol. I run General Exclaim UHP's all the way around and they are good in a few inches of snow but not more than that. Its enough to get me home when in starts snowing, but also a good excuse to stay there and have friends drive me around haha. I'd def say get a beater truck if you plan on really keepin your G cherry. I used to live in arizona and i'm still not used to PA weather.
