Yes, I am planning to 'chase' it a bit when it is in the Reading area. On my calendar; hope I can find parking...

I’ve chased her a couple of times when she’s come to Colorado. Plan on doing it again when she’s on her way back from PA. The last leg of her tour is Denver - Cheyenne. An impressive machine.
