A Motorcycle Ride to the Greisemer’s Mill Covered Bridge

Written by Walt in Pennsylvania Rides

A few weeks back I came across a video on YouTube from Motovlogger Chip SealOpens in a new tab.. Chip was enjoying a motorcycle ride in Central Georgia when he stopped to admire a Covered Bridge. Seeing this video reminded me that my little corner of Pennsylvania has a handful of Covered Bridges sprinkled throughout the back country roads.

Inspired to go on my own little adventure, I hopped onto my Honda CB650F and set off to visit the Greisemer’s Mill Covered Bridge in Oley, PA. I don’t know the first thing about Covered Bridges (except that they are amazing feats of engineering that have lasted well over a century) but Wikipedia claims that this particular bridge is a Burr Truss Construction Style that was built in 1832. The bridge spans 124 feet across the Manatawny Creek and it still in use to this day.

I got a little long-winded in my Motovlog but I really enjoyed myself and hope that you enjoy the video.

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.
