Well the G-man and I ( or is that G and me?) took a ride to Americade Thursday morning, and continued north toward Ticonderoga, it looked a bit dicy on 9N so we stopped for lunch at Boltons Landing and the skies opened up with a boomer.
After lunch there was just a spritz goin on so we rode down to Lake George, registered for Friday and headed on over to Million Dollar beach to check out the vendors area. Lots of good stuff being sold
A few boomers passed over us but the nice thing about the tents is you dont get wet
for the 10 or so minutes it takes each boomer to pass
Saw some vrcc members CrazyMiles and Bev, PaulXX, Buffalo Bill, Byron, and met a few folks that I introduced to the VRCC (being the unofficial NY Rep I figured its my duty)
Cant tell you how many tens of thousands of bikes but there was a lot Saw some real unique stuff out there including a silver Busa with 4 nitros bottles.
Friday we had a great breakfast at the Silo continuing an Americade tradition and we stopped by the HJ where Father Time has announced a ride to VT. Pleasant surprise was meeting the entire POWWOW there. Chrome and Sue, Big and little D, Stuart and his girl, Karen and her friend, 3W and Deb and I missed someone else. Chrome had blown out rear tire (Cobra) while towing the trailer and held it together WAY TO GO ADRIAN GOOD VALKING !!
Anyways G and I headed out for the Adirondack loop and said our goodbyes which was a nice ride to Tupper Lake, Long Lake, Seneca Lake, Lake Placid and blasted our way south on the Northway back to LG. Got to ride a Stratoliner at the Demo area for a bit over half hour which I must admit handed nice, very low seat a real pleasure and nice acceleration.
We left this am to try to beat the rain which caught us ........
I pulled off the thruway for gas and waited for Gman but never did see him, figured he passed me and I went my own way home
bit under a thousand miles and a nice 2 days off of work cept for the last 7 miles
Was riding down route 9 (2 lanes each way divided highwway) when some stuff flew out of a pick up a hundred or so yards ahead I pulled off the road to the left shoulder It was an ab machine and a mat, Picked em up and threw em to the right shoulder. Hispanic man backs the pick up on the right shoulder
I told him you got to tie that crap up someone could get killed and he put it in the back. No speed appreciation awards although many opportunities especially on the Taconic going north 1st day
Hope all the other rides were dry and safe
pics later GMAN check in let us know you got back ok
