Food was perfect, beers were cold and the music was great. A really nice night.... Damn......that food looks good! I think I could eat well in the US because your menus are similar stuff to Britain. Except there's a lot more of it over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggiePezza Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Very interesting. What fridge did he go for then? I'm guessing it won't be "American-style", but, actually American. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it won't be "American-style", but, actually American. Todd can't remember what brand he ordered but knows it's gonna be at least 6 months to get one. Apparently there just aren't many, to be had unless you want a really basic one. "Supply chain issues" strike once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 On Friday, Clint picked us up for breakfast and drove us like a maniac to eat. Having survived that, we waited on Dave and Debbie to appear at our hotel. Clint is a "car guy" and it's always fun to drive with him... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 But we managed to get 150 miles in before lunch. I've posted pics of this place before, but we hot the local Skyline Chili for lunch. Fuckin' excellent! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 On to our hotel for the night - why do our rooms always look like a shit bomb went off in them 5 minutes after our arrival? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 The rain quit as we walked to dinner and exposed a cool rainbow. Hoping this means better weather today... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Food sucked badly tonight, so no pics for @Pedro, pretty horrible family restaurant with a cute bartender. Got a substantial amount of Stella down my neck though so it wasn't a complete loss.... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather has totally sucked so far. But supposed to be nicer today. Yesterday had nice skies in the afternoon but cold. Should be better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 So Saturday we had to cover about 600 miles from Athens, Ohio through Pennsylvania and into New York. We were greeted by wet and cloudy roads in Ohio as we covered the back roads north to Zanesville, Ohio. Lots of Amish buggies on the roads and lots of the associated horse shit as well, which in the rain can be very slick as you well know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Stopped at a local fuel station and they sold race gas in 5 gallon containers. Dunno what the Amish do with race gas but it looked to be a big seller.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 After Zanesville, Ohio, we were on the highways for rest of the day. But we did stop on the shore of Lake Erie to visit the beach for a minute. Cold (55F) but there were still peeps on the sands.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 After Dave's bike took a shit on the highway and stopped dead (dash error said "key low" which we assumed was the battery in the key fob being dead) we stopped for a few on the side of the road. The bike finally restarted and ran well for the last 30m miles to the hotel in Rochester, New York. Bought a new battery for it, so we'll see. We made it to the hotel and had every intention of going out for a nice dinner someplace. Never got past the hotel bar though.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Today we are done with the shitty highway riding and into the better stuff in the Adirondacks. Hope to get some good riding pics and more interesting stuff to see and do. More later ....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Like most veg spouts are fine until cooked. Can a bike really die with a low key battery. This is not progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not progress. We're not sure that the battery was the problem but since replacing it the problem has not surfaced again. But it could only be a matter of time...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Sunday we crossed New York and rode through the Adirondacks. What a let down. The "mountains" are like the "Peaks" in the Peak District - so they're not mountains at but rolling hills. Lots of traffic and kinda crappy little towns we passed through. I won't be back. Did see a cool beach on Lake Ontario though... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
