Well, this will be my attempt for a better ride report than past. The Pictures are fewer as I honestly was concentrating on my riding, not taking pictures while moving(sorry).

Day 1 started with a stop at the National Motorcycle Museum at Anamosa Iowa. If anyone gets the chance to stop and visit here it’s worth the stop. All I can say is WOW.

The trip continued on to Muskegon Michigan.

Day 2 was a relaxing day around Michigan with a visit to the Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum featuring the U.s.s. Silversides submarine.

Day 3 was a travel day from Muskegon to Niagara Falls.

As much as I would have enjoyed a ride thru Canada, the new border laws about passports and the fact that I didn’t have one, means I had to ride the long way around thru the Ohio Valley.

Day 4 took me from Niagara Falls to SugarHill’s place up in New Hampshire.

Day 5 started with a ride on the Kanc. I finally got to finish what we stared at HL1 but got rained out.

Fishised the day on a nice route thru Maine and a stop at Max’s on the way back up to Jim’s(Saltcreek)
Farm.

Day 6 started with the 1st stop in Groten Connecticut at the Submarine Force Library & Museum featuring the U.S.S. Nautilus.

Continuing on from there I went on down to New Jersey.

Day 7 started with time on the Battleship New Jersey.

From there I ventured down to DC. Met with Ted and Jim over dinner at Rays Hell Burger.

Day 8 started at Arlington Nat Cemetery.

Was intending on some time at the Capital but I honestly didn’t feel like fighting the traffic in DC anymore. I normally don’t mind busy traffic, but I’m not sure which is worse—New York City traffic or DC traffic.

I left DC and came on down here to Culpeper VA to meet with Gwen, Steve and Johnny.

Day 9 was basically a Tech day. Helping Jim get his LT back together. Gwen has the pics, before—during—and after.

Today is just a ‘relax’ day so far.

More to follow.
