Are you familiar with riding in NY?
Nope, it's going to be an experience ???
We have to go from Howard's Beach up to Ossining and then back in 3 days. I'm thinking of getting Brenda some of those "Back off Whips"

We should be fine. I'll have her gps routed thru my Sena giving me directions. But it would be nice to see it also.
Be prepared for the expense of the Toll Booth. Almost every crossing requires a payment. EZ Pass is the best way to pay but you will not have time to get one. Exact Change lane is the next quickest but you will need a pile of coins and a good aim for that. Cash lane will have the longest lines and be the most dangerous. Get into the lane you need early. Leave plenty of space but not enough for someone to cut in front of you. NY is not like the rest of the US, if you leave any room, someone WILL pull into it.. Lastly watch the droppings in the toll lane. It's very easy to slide a tire on the crap that has been dropped there.. Oil, Anti Freeze, A/C condensate and what ever folks decide to pour out because they have to slow down anyway....
