Man... with the weather, tornadoes, and damage to everything south of the mason dixon...

I will admit... I'm canceled my trip to Arkansas for a NE, maine lobster trip instead. I have already plotted the new trip and planned the stops. Will hit 10 states (7 new) and Canada, around 2,000 miles.

More to come...

As of now I am free all day thurs and fri. thurs morning I am prolly going to sleep in but will be around unless I get stuck watching the baby.

Once i see your route I can see what I can incorporate if anything. from my friends restaurant up by west point you can go further north in NY or even head into western mass. The its a short hop to vermont.

Since I only get off Mondays right now, I went up to the Gap this past monday for lunch. I met two guys from Florida while eating lunch. They rode their GS's up to TN to volunteer to help the tornado victims and took a side trip up to the gap. That just goes to show you, BMW riders = classy and Harley riders = satan worshippers.

I'm planning a similar trip for next year while my ex has my daughter for a vacation. Will probably make it a ten day trip and hit all of the NE states. No clue of the time frame yet, but won't be till 2012. About the only riding I'll be getting in this year will be for work, when I get paid mileage for travel. However, if she takes off too early in the year, then I'll change it to a southern trip so I can get some warm weather.

Really, you will be dissaointed. The bikes they have on display are BS bikes, missing things like chains, controls transmissions, wirin etc... Just there for show. I went 2 years ago to OCC and was very dissapointed, even the people who work there to build their bikes work at a different location, the only time they build bikes there is when they are filming for TV

Glad to see you again tommy.

Even though we didn't have any luck at pjc & occ. It was still good.

We made it down 9 south with a "rabbit" in the form of a Mercedes wide body amg convertible. Old dude in this thing and a local guy. He was hauling. Average 90 with a bunch of stints around 110 +/- he was in for the game of tag. Fun fun.

Stopped off for gas off 95 and ended up in the black hole known woburn, ma. That ended all bad. What a fuckin waste of time.

Then after a few stops for lodging, rejected for outrageous prices $110+ we ended up in seabrook, nh off 95.

Planning on running up route 1 into maine. Then nw back into nh towards the acadaline (sp?) Mountains.

We have been 2 hours behind since thurs. So the whole time line has been skewed. We made up an hour today/tonight and hopefully get back on schedule saturday.

Great to see you guys again as well, good to see you guys made up some time as well. I got worried as I was heading south on 91 the signs said heavy delays on 95 north to exit 50. I was hoping you guys would get on 95 further east/north of all that stuff. Ride home was prety uneventful. Little bit of traffic at the CT/NY border then on the southern state pkwy, which is a given. Rolled in the door a 8pm so it wasnt too bad, I thought I was a little closer to ny than what I was so that threw me off a little.

We didn't make up shit last night.

Today we did. From seabrook, nh up thru portland, me. Got our good pick of fresh lobster roll. Wow it was good. Then nw into white mountain national forrest. Thru kancamgus (112) which is suppose to be the best road in the ne. Then up 93 from there which was all AMAZING!!

Then we hammered west. Didn't make the normal ferry (closed at 8pm). So we decided we would go around the lake (bording vt to ny). Well we ended up on a ferry anyway because the bridge and road was out due to flooding. Which also pushed further south. Fucksticks.

But we hammered north up 9N & 22. Rolled into lake placid around 1030pm. It was a cold and very dark ride in. But we were meeting some friends so we hammered thru.

Sunday will be our chill day. We only have under 3 hours of riding to make alexandria bay for the night. We have more than that cause my bud don is going to take us on some more great roads. But more leisurely day. So after today's 13 hours of riding today it was great.

More to come & lots of pics (probably done tuesday).

so the real question.... how many lobsters fit in that top box of yours?

Gas Man
05-08-2011, 08:20 PM
Derf. I have learned that clearly depends on the size of the lobster. Some of those had claws bigger than my feet.

We did under 200 miles of leisure today. It was great as we had a tour guide in don (valueteck) and earl (bigdog). We went to the olympic ski jump and jaunted down thru the ny mid state county side.

Cave & I ended the day early in alexandria bay. We walked around, got some pizza & wings, and found a nice motel. Chillin & relaxing before our hammer home.

Got tons of great pics. Will also get some from caveman & earl's cannon slr. Will make a nice post, and will try to do slideshows on a bunch of it as well.

Well, I tell you what, that ride last night was horrible. The last hour or so was in total darkness, not even the moon was there to help us out. Glad to have those HiD's. They really lit the world in front of us. The area that we were rollin through to get to around the closed ferry was crap road and had a point of construction that I nearly biffed it on. Luckily for Gas he heard me over the CB "Oh Shit!!!" and could slow it down a bit. I took out a cone and luckily there was no oncoming or we would be one less biker on this planet and Gas would have some 'splainin' to do to my wife.
But we pulled into the Art Devlin Olympic suites and boy was that place nice. Got to meet a couple more great bikers and chew the fat before bed.
Got up and did some great miles down on some nice roads in NY. We had to split off from our tour guides a little early and ran off to Alexandria Bay. Easy evening of rest for a hard ground pounding tomorrow. Can't wait to be home except I will prolly have to change some tires and that's never cheap

That damn caveman can't even take a blind corner in complete darkness with no warning of a complete gravel surface without bitching about almost layin er down. Wtf. :lol

It was f'ed. I heard him say that and I rolled off the throttle. Didn't really scrub off that much speed before I came across the same thing. Honestly, just keeping a level head in these situations and not over reacting with the bike always prevails.

I can't wait to upload all my pics.

Even with HID's I'm not a fan of riding in anything but cities at night... when I did my Indy ride in 08 I rode back from Smilieman's place to the camp ground in Eureka Springs... pitch black... couldn't see through corners so my HID's did fuck all to help. I caught up to a car and rode 1/2 a corner behind so I could see through to see what was going on.

that being said... I only had the two headlight on my ZZR... not the 15 Gas has on his bike alone... :lol:

No...Sonny's is on Market...near 2nd or 3rd St. And Tony Lukes is south of there somewhere...down south of Pat's and Geno's I think.


EDIT: You're thinking of Pat's and Geno's. Avoid them both. They suck. That's where we went when I came to town. Total tourist gig. Bullshit sandwiches.

Somebody in a car that we put out front to help flush out any possible cops. This time a upper 50's gray hair guy in a drop top Mercedes AMG. After a while, he knew what was going on and would put us out front... oh boy was it fun. We were making great time with this guy... but that all came to an end. We made it through Connecticut, Rhode Island, and into Massachusetts. It all went down the toilet when we made a gas stop... woburn, Mass. Stupid little town... sucked us in and had no where decent to stay or eat.

Another great example as to why phone apps, internet reviews, and GPS can lie to you. This was a 4 star rating on all of those for seafood. But we didn't dine...

At this point my bud Don from ValueTeck (http://www.valueteckenterprises.com/) and EarlDawg from BigDogBiker (http://www.bigdogbiker.com) have already arrived in our Sat night stop, in Lake Placid, NY.

So must make time, they even got a room reserved for us. The temps aren't bad so we push hard through the night. Even with our super bright HID setups, the dark of dark in the country side of Vermont is insane. Then after coming upon some unmarked road construction in a corner, the roadway turned to gravel and we were haulin ass. That was a close call for both of us. Then we come to a closed road... the bridge was out and we had to board a ferry...

The home of the Olympics in 1932 & 1980. The hotel Art Devlins (http://www.artdevlins.com/) was amazing.

We then head into town. What a great town! We have lunch and get ready to head out.

We head towards Tupper Lake. Which is way under water from all the recent flooding.

This use to be a park, and as of Sat was completely over the road. A cop we see while down here, says the water has went down nearly 4' in the last 36 hours.

They eventually head south back home and Cave & I head north to Alexandria Bay, NY. It was great to meet up with them and for them to show us around a nice calm Sunday through north west New York. It was the perfect!! Thanks boys!

Cave & I stayed in there till Monday morning when we headed for the "Great American Bypass" aka Canada. They must be on Bin Laden high alert cause everybody with non-Ontario plates was getting pulled over for more "checking".

Finally we got cleared to roll... this should be fun. HD's mph speedos don't show any marks for KPH/KMH.

The 401 was well... this at its best.

What a great way to start out the season!! My big thanks goes out to Caveman for going with, Tommy for meeting up, Don & Earl for meeting and leading us through that section of New York. Just perfect... hope you all enjoyed my ride report.

The guy with the chopper, Earl? I think I rode to FL with him in 97. One of those:

H-"where you going?"
M-"South. You?"
H-"South"

Seriously. I dont remember his name, but he looks like the same guy with gray hair. but the bike is almost the exact same bike.

Overall cool pictures. So in your opinion was OCC and PJD a waste of time and miles or was it worth it?

Put an updated state sticker picture in there as well.

If you say so... Earl is awesome!

PJD would have been cool had Jr or Mikey been around.
Vinny was at his shop & Mikey was at his art store.
Jr was gone.
OCC was kind of a waste...

But either way, it was on our way and an easy spot to meet up with Tommy.

Fixed... let me know if not.
