Roger Daltrey is WRONG , there is a cure for the Summertime Blues .

It's called ROAD TRIP !

Day one

It's a bright sunny ,humid August morning when Jonny shows up packed and ready to roll at 9:30 am

Tiger is waiting to greet him packed and sporting some Givi's that I stole off Mrs. M's tigger


let's roll..............first there are two rules
1. No Interstates only 2 lane (when possible, more on this later)
2. No Whining

we ride on past the Ruger Firearm foundry, and thru little New England towns like this


until we see the fog on the Green Mtns. of Vermont


and welcome to Vermont


if you are expecting any pics of Vermont here you will be disappointed as Vermont has twisty curvy roads and it's hard to take pics and ride too  :shock:

and I live right next door so it don't impress me much anymore ...........


although the pic doesn't show it Jonny is admiring his new sunburn

into New York we roll .
The views look like this for awhile




We stopped for Dinner at the 10 Pin Bar and Grill in Syracuse NY and after a bite to eat the waitress gave us directions to a great little bit of twisty heaven that included this little surprise




and we rode ....................

no pics here , just picture rolling hills and cow farms and a stench of Cow Shit  that will burn your nostrils for several hundred miles

and then we rode some more , hey wait a minute we're still riding and it's dark and we're still in NY state .
It's a long way when doing two lane from east to west .
After stopping at several Motel/Hotels in the Finger Lakes that don't have enuff brains to put on the no vacancy sign either that or they didn't like the way Jonny looked  
we found a vintage 70's Travel Lodge that only cost an arm and a leg and didn't even have wifi

and Day 1 comes to an end . 450 miles of two lane WOOT!

[Mustang]

Day 2

We awoke to this today.............hoo fucking ray !



we stalled and generally screwed off until check out time and kept watchin the weather channel who assured us it would be lifted off and fair in an hour or so .............sure  it did .

Rain gear was donned and away we went no pics cuz the cameras were packed and it poured .

after about a half hour the sky cleared and the sun came out .......for about 5 minutes and then some more rain and that was the order of the day until around 3 pm when it quit raining and we bid adieu to NY and Pennsylvania and  into OHIO we go to take a break at this covered bridge , it's a rebuild only a couple years old .




Jonny thinks the Amish are out for world domination by the application of this all over the road surfaces even on the damn bridge .



should have seen what the two lane roads looked like in the pouring rain .........eek



found this in PA , ok I'mm a sucker for wall art in the form of murals


also found some sculptures made out of street signs at a Pennsylvania DOT




and day 2 comes to an end at a super 8 in Cleveland after we violate the hell out of rule #1 and do 50 miles of slab to get on the west side of Cleveland so we won't have to deal with Monday mornin Rush Hour Traffic
and the real reason is that Cleveland traffic on a Sunday afternoon on US 322
was gonna take until midnight to get a room ...............

More to come ...............

here's a clue
since this is an EPIC August Adventure
it will involve harley's and dead presidents on the side of a mtn.
there was something about a Beartooth and a Red Lodge in Montana
there's the Devil and his Tower included in the trip
and a geyser that is quite faithful
and I think there is some salt in UTAH
and something about a 2 mile high best M/C road in Colorado .

Stay Tuned...............
